Allowing Access to License Manager Daemons :: Network Installation Procedure (Installation Guide for Windows)

Installation Guide for Windows

Allowing Access to License Manager Daemons

If you run the license manager on a server that is protected by a security firewall, you must open the firewall to allow client installations to communicate with the license manager daemons: mlm.exe and lmgrd.exe. (For information about these daemons, see License Management Daemons.)

Opening Access to the License Manager Daemon

Using the interface provided by your firewall program, allow access on port 27000 for the license manager daemon. This is the default port used to communicate with the license manager. If you changed this port number, specify the port number used at your site. See SERVER Line for more information.

Opening Access to the Vendor Daemon

By default, the vendor daemon port is assigned dynamically. To open access to the vendor daemon, you must first specify the port number used to communicate with the vendor daemon and then open that port number in your firewall.

To specify the vendor daemon port number, edit the License File on your license server and add the port= syntax to the DAEMON line. For more information about specifying the vendor daemon port number, see DAEMON Line.
