Disable Services Windows 10

Windows Licensing Monitoring Service - Windows 7 Service

This service monitors the Windows software license state.

This service also exists in Windows 10 and 8.

One thing you can do purely as a testing mechanic is to disable the firewall rules for 'Windows Remote Management' (there's two of them: port 5985 and port 80). If you do this, then keep an eye on the event log and see if that stops the licensing events from generating. Just don't forget to re-enable the firewall rule once you're done.

Startup Type

Default Properties

Default Behavior

Software Licensing Service Windows

The Windows Licensing Monitoring Service runs as LocalSystem in its own process. It does not share an executable file with other services. If the Windows Licensing Monitoring Service fails to load or initialize, the error is logged and the computer attempts to restart with the LastKnownGood configuration. If the LastKnownGood configuration fails, Windows 7 startup also fails, and the boot process halts with a Stop error. If you disable this service, Windows 7 will fail to start. Do NOT change this service startup configuration if your computer is working.

Dependencies

Windows Licensing Monitoring Service will not start, if the Software Protection service is stopped or disabled.
