You should add TIMEOUTALL to your options file. See your FLEXlm end-user documentation for further information.

This problem is very common and has been around for a long time. It occurs because FLEXlm implements a TCP/IP timeout by default, which is up to 2 hours on Windows. The problem only occurs when an application exits in a "unclean" way and doesn't terminate the TCP/IP session properly (for example, if the application crashes).

Looking for a better alternative to FLEXlm that doesn't have this problem? Learn more about X-Formation's LM-X License Manager, the simpler solution for your license management needs.
