How do I use the Right Hemisphere license server across a firewall?
If you want to serve licenses across a firewall, generally you will need the license server to have a known port number in order to allow your firewall to pass requests on the port. The network license server itself is always at a known port number (contained in the license file on the SERVER or HOST line). Typically, the network license starts up all the ISV servers with dynamic port numbers which are not known before startup time. However, it is possible to have license server assign fixed port numbers to any of the ISV servers. In order to do this, you need to specify the port number for the ISV server on the ISV line. The port number is the fourth parameter in the isv line: ISV isvname options-file port-number Once you have specified the port number, instruct your firewall to allow connections to both the port number on the SERVER line (for rlm) and the port numbers on ISV line.
