If you open a dos command propmt from your machine and type in the following:
ping DESKTOP-4B67AV2
Does it return an error?
C:\Users>ping DESKTOP-4B67AV2
Ping request could not find host DESKTOP-4B67AV2. Please check the name and try again.

This as a network issue.

You can edit your hosts file on your machine (c:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Add:
172.16.28.104    DESKTOP-4B67AV2

 

This is assuming the License server's hostname is:
DESKTOP-4B67AV2
And the ip address for the license server is:
172.16.28.104

After saving the hosts file (make sure there is not .txt added to the filename),
try pinging it again.

If it is successful, try running.

If not, please send me the error.
