Solution
If it is Solid Edge 2021 that is being used, then the Siemens License Manager should be 11.0
The FlexNet diagnostics shows the flexlm version as "SERVER: license server UP (MASTER) v11.16.2 "
This points to the Siemens License Manager version as 10.0
For confirmation, check the Version.txt file in the C:\Program Files\Siemens\PLMLicenseServer folder
If it is 10.0, upgrade this to 11.0.
