SpeechExec Flexnet error

The Windows Service 'Flexnet Licensing Service' is either uninstalled or has been disabled. This is generally caused by a Windows update or antivirus update where the service seems suspicious.

You can check the service under task manager/ services. If the service is installed, it should look like the picture below

Flexnet task manager step

  1. Locate “Flexnet Licensing Service”, right click and select Open service

  2. If it set to 'Disabled', change to 'Manual' and try launching SpeechExec again

If the service is missing, run a repair on the SpeechExec software.
