Sorry, I was typing my other reply while you posted this.
Are you pasting these errors in or typing them?
If you're pasting, then you need to run chkdsk on your primary disk.
If you're typing, please paste instead.

Is that you fat-fingering or is that really what came up?

Edit: I'm going to assume that's fat-fingering
Some more information that might help you figure this out on your own (because I'm going to bed soon)
On Windows machines, host ID is usually either the serial number of your primary disk or it's the MAC address of one of your ethernet interfaces.
Now it may well be (not a Flex expert) that these are used to derive a host id rather than being used directly.
The point being that it's safe to assume that if you:
1) have physical disks changing drive letters (USB disks)
2) have ethernet interfaces that can be removed (Cardbus or PCMCIA)
3) have network interface(s) that are disabled (can't read MAC from a disabled ethernet adapter)
4) maybe even inserting and/or removing USB sticks
any of these could cause you to have licensing problems.

I have one laptop that shuts down the wired ethernet interface when it's running on battery.
And guess what?
I cannot run some Flex licensed products when the machine is running on battery!
