The final registration process did not complete successfully

Error Message

ArcView or ArcEditor Single Use registration may fail on a machine that has ArcIMS 9.x and/or ArcGIS Server 9.x installed and running. Although the Desktop Administrator and the license directory indicate the registration process was successful, ArcMap and ArcCatalog will fail to start.

The following error may be reported at the end of the registration process:

"The final registration process did not complete successfully.

Make sure you are logged on as the same user
"yourname" who installed the software, then run
the registration wizard again and either browse
to your authorization file, or if you registered
using the automatic method, do that one again."

Cause

The Windows services that are running for ArcIMS and/or ArcGIS Server create a file lock that prevents the Single Use software from completely registering.
