"message": "Connection to https://license.advantest.com/flexnet/deviceservices failed with exception: exception: error on POST request for \ \"https://license.advantest.com/fL

Background information:

The connection to license.advantest.com with port 443 was not really available, but for the FNE server software it looked like that a connection is possible, therefor it tried and failed.

Solution: Enter the line

0.0.0.0   license.advantest.com

to file /etc/hosts.
