Hello,
The 1921 error is caused by the installation program not having permissions to stop the Protexix Licensing Service automatically.
There could be multiple ways to solve this problem –
Hope this helps.

Step 2: Go to your Windows Task Manager by right click your taskbar and select the Start Task Manager.
Step 3: Hit the Processes tab and find the PSIService.exe
Step 4: Select the PSIPService.exe then hit End Process just hit yes on the prompt that will appear.
