Godfather 2 pc game doesn't start and how I find the licence server?

I want to play the PC game Godfather 2 but everytime I try to launch it says, "The game can not start. There seems to be a problem contacting the LICENSE SERVER. Ensure your internet connection is active." I went to the folder where the game is located, but I did not see the LICENSE SERVER. I do have internet and my computer works fine. Can you please tell me what the LICENSE SERVER looks like in detail and help me fix this so I can play the game that I very loved when I was child.

P.S. The game I bought in the past is original on a disk, PC DVD-ROM.

    Check your install folder Rolf2002​ and see if you have paul.dll and WINUI.dll listed there. 

    If so, delete both and then try launching the game again.

    With older games on newer systems lil_trawler​ you may run into issues like this and the best thing we can recommend is to continue troubleshooting. Try running in comparability mode to see if that helps.
