I thought it might have been a version thing, so I went ahead and updated to the latest version and I am still getting the same issue.

Thanks for whatever help or hints you may be able to provide!

If you want to direct message me your account id and license key I can test locally.

I don’t think I send DMs at the moment? I just joined today. Hate to sound like a newb, but I don’t see on your profile where I can DM you.

You should be able to click my profile name and click ‘Message’ ?

Yea, I dont have that option.

Just a note for the community … after checking the output from:

journalctl -n 200 -u flowcoll.service

… we noticed a GLIBC error related to the operating system. The Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS release is not supported. It is end-of-life and you can’t upgrade GLIBC without upgrading the operating system. Upgrading the OS resolved the issue.
