ADAudit+ Starting Service - AuthenticationService Failed

ADAudit+ Starting Service - AuthenticationService Failed

Dear Manageengine Team,

We've installed ADAudit+ a while ago and it was working perfectly until today.
Suddenly the services starts and stops a few seconds afterwards.

What I see when I try to start the Service via startADAP.bat is the following:
