Flex works by getting the mac address only of the eth0 device, and if the server machine's Lan port was mapped on any other eth port like eth2 or eth3 , it may not get the correct MAC address. If you forced it to be eth0, then that may resolve the issue. Also try mapping the Ethernet address that is on license file to eth0.
