Autodesk software is not able to obtain a license from the server (Network Licensing Error).The best thing to do at this point is re-run your V-Ray installer and select only the licence server (on Windows, always install as administrator). This will install the licence server but not affect your V-Ray installation. It may work straight away, or need a restart. Check in a browser at. V-Ray License Server - Online Licensing Not Working.

License Parser - If there are multiple FlexLM-based license services running on the license server system, it may be good to setup a specific TCP port for the Autodesk Network License Manager and then make appropriate change to the client license file (LICPATH.lic).

For example, to set TCP port 27008 for the Autodesk Network License Manager, make following change:
SERVR yourServerName 112233445566 27008
USE_SERVER
USE_SERVER
Note: yourServerName is the placeholder for the actual name of the license server and 112233445566 is the placeholder for the license server MAC address.
