License expired

So. I logged in a few days ago and here’s what happens today. I try to open a new Rhino window and get this:


I press the Login button and the screen just keeps loading and loading without doing anything.
I cancel and end up on the same licensing window. I try login again. The same problem: loading and loading.
I try to exit: it starts the same loading window as if I pressed “Login”.
I press cancel again and end up on this licensing window again.
I press the “x” again, now I get a window saying rhino needs a license to run and Rhino will close now.
Rhino closes. I try again and end up in the same problem as before: licensing window & loading. After 3 times of trying to close it I end up on the window saying rhino needs a license to run and Rhino will close now.

Then, before I decide to restart my computer and hope that that will fix it I start writing my reply here. I try to restart rhino so I can take a screenshot of the “rhino needs a license” window and now for some reason it does work without an issue.

I’m not asking for any advice on what to do now, as my Rhino now seems to be working again. This is just not the kind of stuff I feel like dealing with when I want to do some work in Rhino. Is it maybe an issue with my computer? Or are these steps expected?

I also remembered I ran into this issue before: Cannot open new Rhino window: "Contacting McNeel server" Restarting my computer fixed it back then which is why I wanted to restart but then it somehow got fixed without restarting.
