This is the latest from the Xess tech support people about the

I did this before my prior mail to you and it didn't seem to help. I don't
really have anything else to suggest as the license manager internals are a
"black box". Perhaps the netbsd-help folks have other ideas? I'm not certain
that the fact that a local machine called "ziggy" exists is the cause of the
problem, but if it could be renamed that's one more thing to try...
One other thought- do you know of any other LCS machines (NetBSD or not) that
you could try Athena Xess on? That way you could tell if it's something
associated with your machine or not.
