Needs explicit error message when incorrect license is used

When an incorrect license is used, zDT fails to start with errors:

AWSEMI315E zPDTA License Unavailable for CPU 2
AWSEMI315E zPDTA License Unavailable for CPU 0
AWSEMI315E zPDTA License Unavailable for CPU 1
...
***************************************
*** runzpdt terminated with errors. ***
***************************************

Problem is that the message does not say explicitly that the license is incorrect which leads to more time consuming investigation.

    This requirement has been re-assessed. It is not likely that this will be implemented in the next 1-2 years and so it is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
