Is it possible to access the IPA floating license from a location outside the firewall?
Yes it is possible to access the IPA floating license from a location outside the firewall. To configure FLEXlm to work across a firewall, an open and available TCP port must be assigned to the IPA daemon in the license file. This is done by simply adding “PORT=tcp_num” at the end of the DEAMON line inside the IPA license file. You must also verify that the assigned TCP port values are open and available on the Firewall. For example, the modified license file: SERVER 204.56.125.221 DISK_SERIAL_NUM=28468214 1700 DAEMON idi_d c:\ipaflexlm\idi_daemon.exe PORT=1107 FEATURE ipa idi_d 1.000 01-jan-0 1 7B30A0112A5D32BAF8B4 “” ( Note: TCP port values 1700 and 1107 are open and available on the Firewall.
