Exception 0x80040154 is "Class not registered" where B6E7C24F-6808-4C60-8848-9E779D0870FF is the CLSID for the AeProductManager class. The root cause might be that the account that was used to run the Import Services installer did not have sufficient permissions to write to the registry.
Please try the following:
1) Open a command window and navigate to "\Program Files\Common Files\Quest Shared" and executing the following command:
regsvr32 QuestLicense.dll
or,
2) Uninstall the Import Service, and re-install using an administrator account on that machine.
In either cases, you should be able to look in the registry for an entry at:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{B6E7C24F-6808-4C60-8848-9E779D0870FF}
