Why do I receive errors when trying to start the network license manager on Mac OS 10.3.x Panther machine?

I receive one of the following errors when trying to start the network license manager:

These errors occur when the hostname of your Mac OS 10.3.x Panther machine is dynamically assigned, or if you are using a laptop.
To resolve this error:
1. Reboot your machine while disconnected from the network.
2. Run the Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities/), and enter the following:
hostname
The output of the hostname command is your Rendezvous hostname.
3. Open your license.dat file in /Applications/MATLAB701/etc using the TextEdit application and edit the SERVER line to read.
SERVER <your_rendezvuos_name> ID=<license_number> 27000
Where your_rendezvuos_name is the Rendezvous hostname from step 2.
4. Save the license.dat file as plain text and exit TextEdit.
You should now be able to start the network license manager on or off the network with any assigned hostname.
If, after applying the above workaround, you are still unable to start the license manager, check that the hostname of your machine is resolvable. You will need to check both the Rendezvous hostname and the network hostname of your machine. Run the Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities/), and enter the following:
traceroute Rendezvoushostname
where 'Rendezvoushostname' is the same hostname used in the above instructions for Step 2.
Then connect your machine to the network and enter the following command in the Terminal window:
hostname
If you receive a different hostname than the Rendezvous hostname, enter the following command in the Terminal:
traceroute networkhostname
where 'networkhostname' is the hostname of the machine while connected to the network.
If you receive an error, and cannot resolve either of the hostnames, then you will need to contact your System Administrator to validate your network services. The license manager will not be able to start if the hostname cannot be resolved.
