Can't create job for the server: Forcite

We have a standalone MS licence installed on a lab-PC. However, when trying to access forcite module, the forllowing error message read:

Can't create job for the server: Forcite.
This computer was unable to communicate with the computer providing the server.

Any solutions/suggestion are welcome. Thanks.

PS. Last year, the PC was connected to a MS licence server, but now we switched to a standalone licence. We do not know whether this caused the issue.
