Summary

Default TCP Ports for Components of FNP License Server

Synopsis

Discussion

FlexNet Publisher's (FNP) default ports for lmgrd are between 27000 and 27009. Therefore, if you do not specify a port number in the license, then FNP will choose one of these ports. If none of them are open the server will fail to start. The debug log will explain why.

The vendor daemon chooses an open port automatically. It has no set range. You can always specify a fixed port on the SERVER line for the lmgrd and on the daemon line for the vendor daemon.

SERVER name hostid 27011
DAEMON demo /path/..demo PORT=27015

The fixing of the vendor daemon's port is to allow the server to be accessed through a firewall.
