A new license file was downloaded and, since no SPE console was being used, it was manually copied into /opt/Symantec/Licenses
Protection Engine 9.2
The account the symcscan service was configured to start with did not have read, or any permissions to /opt/Symantec/Licenses
Note: To verify the name of the account the service is starting with run the following command: cat /etc/init.d/symcscan | grep User=
The problem resolved after granting permissions for the User account the service starts-- allowing at least "Read" permissions to /opt/Symantec/Licenses
Then restarting the service again. /etc/init.d/symcscan restart
