The license server uses UDP, which is known to drop packets on congested
networks. We had this problem occasionally until we moved the printers and
plotters onto their own server. It also happens when our file servers start
getting really full ( < 2% free space). The servers start to get swamped &
some packets get lost. I suspect that it could also happen if the
workstation itself is fairly bogged down, although I've never seen that
cause it...
