Error starting compute service job: The session requested is currently in a failed or stopped state.

I'm currently getting the following error at a JobExecution endpoint (happens to be:  /SASJobExecution/?_program=/Public/app/common/sendArr)

Error starting compute service job
The session requested is currently in a failed or stopped state.

We've recently been sending a lot of special characters to that service as part of testing for SASjs so I don't know if it's related (probably not).

I've tried:

sudo /etc/init.d/sas-viya-all-services stop
sudo /etc/init.d/sas-viya-all-services start

and: 

sudo systemctl stop sas-viya-cascontroller-default
sudo systemctl start sas-viya-cascontroller-default

(the above command is suggested by the terminal when I try to run: `sudo /etc/init.d/sas-viya-launcher-default stop`)

Any tips for booting it back up, other than config file searching as per https://support.sas.com/kb/63/260.html ?  (pretty sure nothing has changed there)

After reinstalling from a backup the following note was present in SASStudioV:

The compute server session is in a failed state.

This let to this usage note:  https://support.sas.com/kb/64/718.html

And the realisation - the licence had expired!
