We are only going to be limited help as we no longer support your version of 
filePro.

Take theses steps to isolate a license problem when running filePro on 
Windows.

Go to the services of windows to stop or make sure the service is stopped.

    Pre Vista Windows = Start - Control Panel - Administrative Tools - 
Services

    Vista Windows and higher = Start - Control Panel - System and Security - 
Administrative Tools - Services

    Look for the entry called fplm_service

    If the service is not already stopped, Right Click on fplm_service and 
select Stop then proceed to the next step.

Go to the ~/fp/logs directory where filePro is installed.

Edit the file called servlog.cfg

Make sure the lines towards the bottom are not commented out
    (remove the # sign at the beginning of the lines)

    NEWFILE,DEBUG,server.log

    DAILY,WARN,server_warn.log

Save the servlog.cfg file

Then go to the services of windows to try to start the license service.

    Pre Vista Windows = Start - Control Panel - Administrative Tools - 
Services

    Vista Windows and highter = Start - Control Panel - System and 
Security - Administrative Tools - Services

    Look for the entry called fplm_service

    Right Click on fplm_service and select Startss

I DO THIS AND GET ERROR MESSAGE "THE SYSTEM CANNOT FIND FILE SPECIFIED"
MYSERVICES FILELOG  LOOKS LIKE THIS.

C:\appl\fp\logs\servlog.cfg

# type, level [,filename] [,max_size]
# type could be CONSOLE,FILE,ROLLING,or DAILY
# FILE,ROLLING, and DAILY require a filename
# ROLLING requires a maximum size
# level could be FATAL,ERROR,WARN,INFO, or DEBUG
# lines beginning with # are comments
# blank lines are skipped
# keywords are case-insensitive
# forward slashes (/) must be used for path separators
CONSOLE,FATAL ROLLING,DEBUG,server.log,60000
NEWFILE,INFO,server.log
DAILY,INFO,server.log
DAILY,WARN,server_warn.log
