Solving "Licence Error" messages without access to LMS

[mrwho]

Good evening everyone.

I've got a handful of machines wich, for several reasons (board replacement, NVRAM replacement, FW update), have the dreaded Licence Error message.

Is it still imperative to have access to LMS to get around this or is there another procedure?

Cheers!

Maybe someone will correct me, but I believe you still need to go through the LMS procedures.
What models?

C451 and I believe a C353 or similar.

Un till someone cracks the code and makes a key generator, then free LK's for all!

Guys, I will tell you a secret... you can take _any_ valid pair of initialization code/serial number and use this as many times as you wish to repair _any_ machine with license management error.

You can use for example this one - from BH421:
MFP Serial Number: A0R6021006374
Initialization Code: 2VRA4-UGGA2-Z2H4K-7AVUH-F58SW-J2Z7U-QVKVK

It doesn't matter that you have a problem with C451 or C203 or C224e, just set above S/N in the machine and use above initialization code, then restart machine and set back original S/N, reboot again - license management problem will be solved.

That's nice. Now if anyone had those for C451 and C353... 😊

No, no, you don't need initialization codes for particular machine types - as I wrote, they are interchangeable, so you can use BH421 serial+code to initilize C353 !!!

That's even better! Need to try and get one. Thanks for the top tip.

That is interesting observation. Now if my C554e SSD PWB fails and I'll give it your serial for instance I doubt when I ask for replacement of SSD that the list output will be legit for warranty. Plus its a free tool to KM techs and it takes about 5 min anyway. Good for those who like to appear as newborn at the age of 700k + . But hey what do I know about fashion, retro is always in.

Re: Solving "Licence Error" messages without access to LMS

OK for clarity, if you have a problem with "License management error" in _ANY_ machine type, please follow procedure below.

1. Go to the service mode and change machine serial number to A0R6021006374 (must be uppercase)
2. Reboot the machine (turn off/on main power switch)
3. Go again to the service mode, then [STOP]->[9], then [License Management]->[Initialize]
4. Use following initialization code: 2VRA4-UGGA2-Z2H4K-7AVUH-F58SW-J2Z7U-QVKVK
5. Reboot machine again
6. One more time go to service mode and set back your original serial number
7. Last reboot, and you should have no error


ANY means:
Bizhub 421/501
Bizhub 601/751
Bizhub 223/283/363/423
Bizhub 552/652
Bizhub 224e/284e/364e
Bizhub C203/C253/C353
Bizhub C220/C280/C360
Bizhub C224/C284/C364 also 'e'
Bizhub C454/C554 also 'e'
and so on...

haha that is awesome! (Not sure the public should have this info, but KM can go to hell with their "confidential" nonsense!)

Now drop here a link for firmware patch, that gets rid off security dotted matrix and I'll stop using cash completely.
