Hello, I am attempting to execute an existing test suite on a build server using Katalon Runtime Engine v7.2.1 (previously it was running on v5.10.1 of Katalon.)
When running the suite using the Runtime Engine locally, it succeeds, but when running it on the build server, it fails during license activation despite the fact that I am providing a valid API key in both instances.

Process completed with exit code 3 and had 3 error(s) written to the error stream.
My organization has two Node-locked KRE licenses still available, so that shouldnāt be the issue. The API key being used is the same when I run it locally and on the server.
I initially thought that the build server might be unable to communicate with Katalon, but I tested it, and the build server is able to send HTTP traffic to both store.katalon.com and analytics.katalon.com successfully, so connectivity should not be an issue.
The error message gives no indication of what is wrong. āPlease make sure you are using a valid licenseā is confusing because as far as I can tell from the CLI documentation, there is no way to specify a license, only an API key.
How can I troubleshoot this issue further? This is currently preventing my organization from adopting Katalon v7.x.
Thanks for your time,
