Entering port values on license servers

In some cases, you might change the port values on your single, multiple, or redundant license servers.

The default value of the lmgrd port in the license server is 27000. There are two situations in which you change the port value:

These procedures assume that you have already started the license servers and specified the license server names in the clients.

To change the lmgrd port value on single, multiple, or redundant license servers:

  1. Select Settings > Server Ports in the License Key Administrator.
  2. In the Server Ports window, enter a value in the lmgrd Port. In a firewall situation, enter a value in the Vendor Port . Do not set the lmgrd port and the vendor port to the same values.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Repeat Steps 1-3 for the other license servers. The port numbers can be the same on all license servers.
  5. In the firewall situation, give users the vendor port value to enter into their clients.
