Having now installed a number of MapGuide Enterprise and Studio applications, I came across a bit of an installation problem.
It appears that when installing Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise as a "Registered Installation" (not an Evaluation installation), see below...
Then installing the network license manager and obtaining the relevant network license file for the customer installation, occasionally 60 days later the following message appears when attempting to connect to your MapGuide Server from MapGuide Studio...
And, of course, your customers MapGuide Server and therefore applications are no longer accessible!
The following Technical Solution on the Autodesk Support site provides some good information with respect to the problem...

However, I found it a little confusing!
The bottom line is, I never installed as an Evaluation Installation in the first place, so why the problem? anyway the guide to the resolve the issue works.
You will need to modify your "serverconfig.ini" file, located in
"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\MapGuideEnterprise2009\Server\Bin" on your MapGuide Server.
Locate the following entries under the "General Properties" section in the file and add the following details...
The path to your network license file
LicenseServerPath = C:\Program Files\Autodesk Network License Manager\License\license.lic
The serial number of your software
SerialNumber = xxx-xxxxxxxx
(replace the x's with your serial number)
Restart the MapGuide Server and all should be up and running again.
