Version 11.8 does not accept license

I have a 5-user floating license and have trouble since upgrading to version 11.8. Using 11.7 the compiler works fine, but if I use 11.8 (with the same environment settings, etc.) I get an error:

pgi-cc-lin64: LICENSE MANAGER PROBLEM: Failed to checkout license
pgi-cc-lin64: LICENSE MANAGER PROBLEM: Failed to checkout license
pgi-cc-lin64: LICENSE MANAGER PROBLEM: Failed to checkout license
pgi-cc-lin64: LICENSE MANAGER PROBLEM: Failed to checkout license
pgi-cc-lin64: LICENSE MANAGER PROBLEM:

License path:
…(license server port@host)…
For further information, refer to the FLEXnet Licensing documentation,
available at “www.acresso.com”.

The license server looks okay, as far as I can see:

Anyone an idea, what’s wrong here? What did change with 11.8 concerning licenses?
