A possible solution! (worked for us!)
This is a result from working with Mike Morrison on a problem we were having with soholaunch. This is our experience in solving this problem.
Soholaunch was working perfectly on our server until we performed a security update. We started getting the error message "Error: Cannot connect to licensing server". The problem was that the update "hardened" our PHP by disabling php functions that might have security issues. By doing this, shell_exec and fsockopen were both disabled. We re-enabled these php functions, and everything starting working as it should.
What put us off track is that we also installed a new firewall with the security update. When the error message suggested that the problem might be caused by a firewall, we started focusing in the wrong direction. Mike mentioned that the error message will be updated.
Hopefully this will save others some stress...
