Hi @debashish,
A great way to get started troubleshooting your license server issue is to run the flexnettroubleshoot.bat file available from https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/543/floating-license-troubleshooting.html - the attachment for this .bat file is at the very bottom of the article.
Also running through this troubleshooting article is a good place to begin - checking for things like :
a) is the license file still valid (hostname and hostid still match the license server, the license isn't expired etc.)
b) deleting .dat files on the client machine per this Q&A; : https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/39774/why-is-the-licensing-assistant-picking-up-my-float.html
Other questions to ask are :
- Does this only occur on one client machine?
- Did this behaviour occur suddenly? Was the license server working in the past?
I hope this gives you a good place to start!
