Add a facility to customise messages shown to users when License checkout fails during Login

Organisation may want to instruct users to open specific internal websites for further guidance when their DOORS 9 login fails due to license checkout issues. This could be instead of or in addition to the string returned from FlexLM. For example, at present a user gets the following message, when the license pool has been exhausted: "License Error: Licensed number of users already reached. Feature: DOORS License Path: port@host; Flexnet Licensing error: -4, 132 For further information , refer to the FLEXnet Licensing documentation, available at "www.flexerasoftware.com" " Understandably, organisations would prefer to provide their users with more applicable, organisation-specific messages.
