Hello - the only non-standard plug-in I see is Lynx - I do not expect it is involved here but you might try disabling Lynx in Options > Plug-ins page, then closing and restarting Rhino. Does that make any difference?
-Pascal
Maybe not involved, but that driver for your Quadro is ancient too:
Primary display and OpenGL: NVIDIA Quadro K2200 (NVidia) Memory: 4GB, Driver date: 8-1-2016 (M-D-Y). OpenGL Ver: 4.5.0 NVIDIA 369.09
This driver is from earlier this month:

Hello. Thanks for your responses.
Effectively, my Driver graphique card is very old so I have upgrade it 
For information Lynx is a RVB plug-in (Rhino script) it’s indispensable for our work (copy and orient Blocks automaticly).
it’s rare when rhino loses the license so if my rhino lose the license then i try to desable Lynx to test if I can run a new rhino instance.
I be back to you if the update graphique card doesn’t solv the bug.
Best regards.
Hello - my suggestion was to disable Lynx as a test, do see if we can pin the blame there, not to disable it permanently.
-Pascal
Humm…
I not have the bug every day but only one day time to time :S
I try to video screen if the bogu is back
Hello recently, the bogu as hit again 
If I closed all rhino instance and i run rhino again. the rhino is open normaly
The next time this issue happens, please take a screenshot of the following folder before you try to fix anything:
%programdata%\McNeel\Rhinoceros\6.0\License Manager\Licenses
Hi Andres,
I’ve been running in this issue a lot as well.
typically it happens after closing another instance and openeing another
in %programdata%\McNeel\Rhinoceros\6.0\License Manager\Licenses
thate is one file with .lic extension
I made a copy and can send it to you through PM if that helps, let me know if you want me to.

Hi Andrés,
Do you have any progress on finding a solution, I’m running into this multiple times on a daily basis
I want to add that I am running Rhino in 2 different schemes often simultaneously.
@SMC2 are you working with different Rhino schemes?
-Willem
Hi Willem,
Just for info, I do this all the time (French/German + English, different workspaces) and I haven’t experienced this, so maybe that’s not the problem…
Hi @Willem, unfortunately there’s nothing unusual with the files you were kind enough to send me. We are currently evaluating what the cause might be.
Thanks for the update,
Let me know if I can provide any more info.
Another possible cause is NordVPN maybe,
I’ll try to disable it and see if the issue persists.
Hi Andrés,
FWIW:
Running into this again and realize that the already open instance might not be responsive(enough) because it is running an intensive script.
Let me know if I can perform any more tests or provide info, It’s really slowing down my workflow.
-Willem
I found in a single first test that GoogleDriveStream might be the cause. I see you have DriveStream running as well so it might be the cause at your end as well.
What I did when this happened again was to Quit GoogleDriveStream from the trayicon.
After quitting I could open Rhino without the licensing popup.
NOTE: I only quit DriveStream after all syncs were finished and after the test did a restart to get running again.
Maybe you can do this test to confirm DriveStream might be the culprit.
I’ll be testing more today because I run into this multiple times per day and report back with my findings.
-Willem
Hello,
for the moment I did not meet the problem but if the problem apear again, i try your solution
