I'm showing a bunch of these errors in our logs. Would this cause any issues or cause for concern?

Do you have a firewall preventing your gateway from checking in with IA's activation servers? (Leased activations have to do this regularly--4 hours I think-- to remain licensed.)

11:30-2:30 Appeared yesterday for these errors, it's running fine now. Was there any maintenance on the IA side yesterday?
