Changing a license for your program to match your MAC address that the license was purchased for when the vendor will not help you unless you buy product support AND upgrade your software.

Hey, this is a Network MAC, don't forget to make sure people log off the server.
On the Virtuozzo server, from a command line enter the command below and your Virtual Environment's ID (VEID):
example: vzctl set VEID --mac 00-AA-BB-CC-DD-EE --save
If your ID for VPS-XXX is 1300 (Enter the actual VPS ID) as in example below:
vzctl set 1300 --mac 00-AA-BB-CC-DD-EE --save
Then go to your program, let's say PrintIT, and enter the current MAC address and your current license #.
License Key (examples only - they do not reflect the actual licenses or MAC addresses):

WIndows User Profile corruption - Windows 2008 Server, Vista, Windows 7
Windows 2008 user profile got corrupted by perhaps a network problem or unplanned server reboot.
The issue can happen on Vista and Windows 7 as well, you can find the same registry "profilelist" file structure.
When the user attempted to login he was prompted that the profile was bad - the server was inaccessible to his account.
The profile list is in the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\
The issue is that there are two SID files of the same name.
One with a .bak extension and one without.
The one without the extension, pointed to:
C:\Users\temp
The .bak SID, pointed to the original user profile, example below:
c:\users\username
example:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\S-1-x-xx-xxxxxx...-xxx.bak
The temp profile only had 3 keys as opposed to the 7 keys the former profile had - and still has after removing the .bak extension.
* The final step is to change the state property of the SID set to Zero.
This can happen on Vista and Windows 7 as well!
You can prevent your computer from being inaccessible by creating a second user on the computer in Control Panel > Users, so that you can log in with a good user profile, then edit the other profile.
The issue is rare, and you may never need it - good prevention on the outside chance that you run into this issue.
