With those attributes you told Windows Installer that you care about the
result of running your action, which of course requires that it end, so
Windows Installer waits until the program ends before it exits.
By not setting the Execute attribute you have identified the CustomAction as
"immediate" which is completely appropriate. However, immediate custom
actions always run as the installing user, so the Impersonate attribute has
no effect. You can drop it.
You need to use the Return attribute, and the value you need is asyncNoWait.
So, your CustomAction tag should look like this:
<CustomAction Id="LaunchLicenseManager" BinaryKey="WixCA"
DllEntry="WixShellExec" Return="asyncNoWait" />

Hi Blair,
The CustomAction tag looks as follows:
<CustomAction Id="LaunchLicenseManager" BinaryKey="WixCA"
DllEntry="WixShellExec" Impersonate="yes" />
