A valid license could not be obtained by the network licese manager / Error (2.5-15). Please help!

Please help me with MAX 9 network licensing 😞

I did my License File with "Autodesk 3ds Max 9 Network License Activation
Utility" and save my *.lic file on hard drive

In LM tools i choosed "Config using License File" but in LMTOOLS under
Stop/Reread tab i get "License Server Not Found" information.

Whan i tried to start 3Dmax "FLEXIm License Finder" started up and told me:

"Your app was not able to obtain a license because FLEXnet license server
manager could not determina where to find the licensing data it needs Please
choose one of the following:
- Spec. The License Server System
- Spec. The License File

I choosed "Spec the License File" and direct it FLEXnet to my
3DSMAX9FILIP-PC.lic file on hard drive FLEXnet said: "The FLEXnet license
finder completed. Press fin to return to app." I clicked FINISH and message
came out:
"A valid license could not be obtained by the network licese manager."
"Error (2.5-15)"

Use Configuration using Services instead and specify the settings in Config
Services. Make sure to select the checkboxes Use Services and Start Server
at Power Up.

I think something is wrong with your license file.
I suggest you try to get a new one and if you want you can email it to me
and I can take a look at it. (Don't post the license file on NG)

You likely set the hostname wrongly on the first line of your license.

Ensure it's the name of your actual machine.

I just wanted to follow up on this and let other know how this was solved.

There was an empty row at the beginning of the license file and when it was
removed and the file was resaved and the service restarted everything
started to work as it should.

The error was:
[Detecting lmgrd processes...]
Error getting status: License server machine is down or not responding.
