This occurs with all Unix Agents, in version 12.1.0+build.1732. It doesn't happen automatically at the start of the Agent but some time after.

Investigation

First, check your license file and your Agent INI configuration.

Then check in the log of your Agent, if the following lines appear than you are affected by this issue:

[....]
20171117/180137.410 - License              :  '1'
