Failed to connect to database

[jamiehollingsworth]

So after updating my license file i now get this error when trying to access my database. 
Failed to connect to database. No arcgis server license file found. contact your admin.

i have tried creating a geodatabase using all of my connection info and i get an Error.
Error connecting to database as geodatabase admin.

I can connect to the database outside of arcgis.

arcgis server 10.1.1
windows server 2012
IIS 8
postgresql 9.1

everything was working prior to updating of license file

any thoughts

but i was not getting the update arcgis license box

then i found this
