We are troubleshooting an issue impacting community login, and it may be intermittently unavailable. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Thanks to everyone who pointed me in the direction of the network issue. It is in fact a network issue, but I am not sure how to fix it yet. When I went to run the ptcsetup for Flexnet is said that it could not find the IP address. It turns out that our IT department added a network card to the computer. The existing card is set to primary and the second is for backups. Has any had any experience with 2 network cards in one computer and how to get Flexnet to see the right one?
Thanks in advance.

If this is a laptop, another consideration is physical network connection.
If the NIC is not connected to a network, Windows will sense this, and disabled the NIC.
In such a case, FlexLM will fail.
To change this behavior, you need to disable Media Sensing, to keep the NIC alive at all times.
