FlexLM Error Message

I have a Windows 2003 Server that I have the FlexLM service installed on. However, I get this error message in my logs when I attempt start the service. Obviously this is problematic because no licenses are being handed out. If you can check over my log file and give me a hand at resolving the problem I would greatly appreciate it.

Generally this error is caused by the Firewall or the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) interfering with the adskflex.exe. I would start by disabling any Windows or 3rd party firewall (or allow ports 2080 and 27000~27009) and add all four NLM files to the DEP exception list under System Properties.
