Hi,

Regarding the License Manager Error -8 you have encountered, issue indicates that the license file is served from the Network License Manager and that there is a problem with the license.dat file on the machine running the Network License Manager. The cause of this error may be due to one of the following:

• If your license file has been manually modified (excluding lines starting with SERVER, DAEMON, or #), then your license file has been corrupted.
• If a network license is attempting to be used in place of an Individual or Designated Computer license.
• If the system time and date are not set properly.

Kindly refer to the following article by MathWorks Support Team that could be helpful in resolving the above-mentioned issues:
