I've never seen this, can't figure out how it got changed in the first
place, or tried this "fix", but what about going to the registry -
hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\licenseservice - find the string
"imagepath" and change the value back to the default of
%systemroot%\system32\llssrv.exe? I'm presuming that file is still present
in that path....

You could export the whole key as a reg file for backup first.

Note also that I usually recommend stopping & disabling the license logging
service anyway - it doesn't work right (Outlook tends to misbehave, for one
thing) and it's not mandatory to run it - keep track of licenses manually.
