I contacted the original author of looking glass (visix) about this problem
and guess what - THERE IS A BUG IN THE LICENSE SERVER ! Having read some
of the previous comments attacking the license numbers introduced in 2.2, I
can't help grinning at the irony of this situation :-). Anyway, Visix is hard
at work correcting the problem. If you need to chat with them, try 
1-800-832-8668 - I found them to be very pleasant and helpful.

By the way, I have also noticed that lg runs at init 2. It seems that
lg bypasses the license server if it finds that TCP/IP is not running. If
you do not need to access lg over the net, you can start it at init 2 and
then increase to level 3, lg then continuesto run just fine. This leaves 
you with the net up and running and lg running locally.
