Edit the batch file e.g., with Notepad. You will potential need to do this as administrator
Replace the line SET startParameters= by
SET startParameters=LicenseServer=xxxxxxx (instead of xxxxxxx use the actual host name or IP addresss of the license server - If necessary, the port number can also be specified i.e. :22350)
