My MSC Nastran SOL101 job crashes because it is unable to find a license. I have my company IT working on it, but they're a little stumped. But, in particular, there's a line in the .log file that says:
Feature NASTRAN not recognized; attempting temporary MD licensing switch
This is right before the section it would usually report finding a license:
14:46:07 Feature NASTRAN not recognized; attempting temporary MD licensing switch.

There are times that I can get a license, and when successful, that line about MD Nastran does not appear. Would anyone know, does that particular line mean anything important? Or would it show up every time a license is unavailable? ...just looking for ways to help my IT troubleshoot my issue.
