Number of ports required for a floating license
I have added the server name and port to license.dat:
SERVER servername mac address 10000
VENDOR alterad C:\FLEXlm\alterad.exe
# VENDOR mgcld C:\FLEXlm\mgcld.exe
USE_SERVER
I have confirmed that port 10000 is open using Test-NetConnection.
However, even when specifying "10000@servername" in the Quartus License Setup, the "Current license" is not recognized.
The "Current license" is recognized if I temporarily open all ports on the server side, but I cannot keep all ports open permanently.
Are there any other ports required besides port 10000?
Example: Port 10001 is required
SERVER servername mac address 10000
VENDOR alterad C:\FLEXlm\alterad.exe PORT=10001
# VENDOR mgcld C:\FLEXlm\mgcld.exe
USE_SERVER
Thank you for your assistance.

The port number cannot repeat with your existing port number. For example, I would suggest you any random port number like 8888.

Thank you for your reply.
Is it sufficient to have just one open port?
Example: 1800
