Check the LM_LICENSE_FILE and MGLS_LICENSE_FILE variable that has been set if its pointing to the correct/latest license file/server.

Looks like the license daemon is down. You will have to manually shutdown the server and restart it again. You can use the LMUTILS or LMTOOLS to shutdown and restart the license server.

lmutil lmdown -c <path to lic file> (to shutdown server)

lmgrd -c <path to lic file> (to restart the server. )

Try these two command and then check if the tools get the licenses. If not, please run the FLexLM Diagnostics and post the results here
