What protocol is used in the communication between the license server and clients?

Question

Is there any application protocol used with FlexNet license manager and the licensed clients? Is it application protocol RDP, HTTP, FTP, RPC etc, understanding that TCP is used as a transport mechanism?

Answer

Flexera Software uses a proprietary protocol over TCP/IP. We don?t use SSL/TLS between vendor daemon and a FlexEnabled client.

(However, lmadmin uses HTTP/HTTPS in addition to the proprietary TCP/IP protocol to display the administrative content).
