2014 can't find license

[Grimdalus]

Maya 2014

Windows 7

I open the program Maya 2014 and it pops up with this message. I am a student using a College's version of it.  It has been installed there and it keeps coming up with the pop up message as shown above. 

Do you guys have a solution or a fix for this problem? I have not tried to delete or edit files in case I get expelled.

HI, Welcome to Autodesk Community!

This error actually because client unable to communicate with the license server, please check the following setting:

1  Make sure your license server is running

2  Ports 2080 and 27000-27009 are open on both the license server and clients machine. You can also try to disable the firewall to test.

3  Make sure clients and license server can ping each other by hostname or IP address

4  check this article to determine if you need an IPv6 license manager.
