Why might the DNC-Max server service fail to start?

Direct answer
Common causes include an unavailable license server, inactive licensing, a stopped NC-Base dependency in enhanced MDC or MDM configurations, expired service-account credentials, lost file-share permissions, or a Windows update that changed a required component. Check the CIMCO services, dependencies, Event Viewer, credentials, and recent system changes systematically.
Practical checkpoint
Record the first error and timestamp before restarting services so the root cause is not erased by a temporary recovery.
