[QODBC ALL] - Troubleshooting - Unable to verify license / Subscription is inactive / License verification is required

Problem Description:

QODBC stopped working this morning, and I got a message that / License verification is required.  I opened license sync and hit the "Sync Now" button. It seems like something might be happening, but I get no message of any sort popping up, and QODBC still has the message that license sync needs to be run. How can I resolve this?
