Steps to duplicate:
Create Fast Compression / SmartDiff job on a server without an Enterprise license. The SmartDiff job is created but fails when run with error "Executed as user: DOMAIN\login. LiteSpeed for SQL Server 5.1.0.1293 Copyright 2004-2009, Quest Software Inc. SmartDiff use requires a LiteSpeed enterprise license [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 1) SmartDiff use requires a LiteSpeed enterprise license [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 62003). The step failed."

Source spid61
Message
SmartDiff Alert: 62003 : SmartDiff use requires a LiteSpeed enterprise license"
NOTE: In later Versions, the error message may read as follows:
Executed as user: DOMAIN\login. LiteSpeed for SQL Server 7.1.0.1720 Copyright 2013 Quest Software, Inc. FastCompression use requires a LiteSpeed enterprise license [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 1) FastCompression use requires a LiteSpeed enterprise license [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 62003). The step failed.
WORKAROUND: None. Fast Compression / SmartDiff use requires a LiteSpeed enterprise license. If the server has a standard license, please contact your Sales Account Manager to upgrade.
STATUS: An enhancement request has been submitted to the LiteSpeed Development team for consideration in a future version of LiteSpeed so that SmartDIff job could not be created without the appropriate license on the server.
