After installing Windows XP service pack 2 on my FLEXLM License Server, I find that the client machines now cannot connect unless I disable the fire wall. How can I fix this?
A. You will need to modify the SERVER and VENDOR lines of your license files. EXPLANATION: By default FLEXlm will use ports 27000 to 27009 to serve licenses, and most client applications will also check those ports unless directed to do otherwise. Unless you wish to open 10 ports between 27000 and 27009, you should specify one port for “lmgrd.exe” communications. You must also specify a port for our vendor daemon “atechlm.exe” communications. The list of available ports is between 1024 and 65535. The Windows firewall will not allow you to open an unavailable port. EXAMPLE: The “gauss.lic” file on the machine named “FLEX1_XP” has port 32000 specified for the lmgrd process and port 3030 for the atechlm process. The Server line should look like this: SERVER FLEX1_XP 00063e3eb0b00 32000 The vendor lines should look like this: VENDOR atechlm port=3030 On the client machines, you will need to add the TCP port number to the client.lic file. The license should look like the following: SERVER F
