Maya can't communicate with the licensing system. The cause for this is usually a firewall that's blocking local communication between programs or the licensing service is not running at all.
To check if the service is running go to
Start -> Run -> type 'services.msc' and confirm.
In the window that opens you should see a row for '3d-io license server'. Make sure that the status column for this row says that it's started.
If the service is running and you still get the error it means a firewall is blocking it.
