Turns out the problem is rubbish software design by Adobe. It cannot
handle localisation and so I have to deceive the software into
thinking it is in the US so that it authenticates, then return it back
to the local time zone.
Explained on this page:

Since the problem has only recently occurred, I am putting it down to
it not being able to address changes occurring as a result of daylight
saving.

Hi all,
I vaguely remember this topic appearing previously. This is not the
same issue as the license expiry problem. I have already applied
that patch because mine expired.
Framemaker 10 reports that it cannot authenticate over internet and
still allows me to run the program. I do have an internet connection
(this email is proof of that). It is possible that from where I am
working, the port that Adobe wants to use for authentication is
blocked, but does anyone know what that port is? I have previously
run the program at this location. It is running on a Macbook Pro, is
installed on a Bootcamp partition and I am running it through
Virtual Box. VB is using my OSX 10.8 network settings.
Also, Adobe Air has been updated through the same settings.
