To repair the permissions of the folder in R14SP2, click on the "Fix" button and restart the machine. The error will not be reported at system startup and the network license manager should also now start successfully, allowing MATLAB to start.
The permission fix removes write permission from users for the MATLABLmgr folder:

After fix is made:
NOTE: To start the license manager manually if it is currently not running, do the following:
1. Open a Terminal Window(Applications->Utilities)
2. Navigate to your $MATLAB/etc folder on your machine.
(Where $MATLAB is your root MATLAB directory)
Example: If /Applications/MATLAB704 is your root MATLAB directory then run:
cd /Applications/MATLAB704/etc
3. Run the following command to start the license manager:
This will start the license manager and return to the command prompt. You should now be able to start MATLAB.
