FATAL NServiceBus.Features.LicenseReminder Failed to initialize the license - Access to the registry key is denied

Hi,
We are using NSB 6.4.3 trial licence via IIS, and get the error below. We have lots of different app pools using different identities so giving them elevated permissions to modify reg keys doesn’t seem like the best solution. Can anybody provide some assistance please.

Hi

Welcome to our forum.

We have many different ways how you can manage the license, see for example License file information • NServiceBus • Particular Docs. Depending on your needs you can use another mechanism like having a machine wide path for example.
