Hi<br />
<br />
The server was running fine for many months but now suddenly it shows that the OS is not genuine anymore. The Software Protection service is not running. And I can not start it anymore<br />
<br />
It is in German but it basically says: Cannot start Software Protection because The system cannot find the file specified.<br />
