I have an instance of Mirth that will not start every time I install a plugin. Once I install a plugin, the only way that I can get the Mirth Connect service to start again is to manually remove the plugin from the folder. There is nothing that is going into the logs, so I don't really have much to go on as to why this is happening. I have another instance of Mirth that is on identical hardware, version etc. and it takes plugins just fine. Any ideas of what I can try?
Edit Based on Comment Suggestions from Freiheit:
Mirth Connect version is 3.8.1 The plugin is the Cluster Administrator
I believe that Freiheit is correct that this is an issue with my licensing. When I enter my license key and click on the "save" button, I get the following error:

executable. It runs in the console and will sometimes log startup issues better because it can write to stdout if there is an issue that happens outside of a logger statement or before the logger starts. – Freiheit
