Could you help to define/change port numbers for server line, mgcld and alterad daemons. FYI, The FLEXlm software works with Internet firewalls that require you to specify port numbers. You must specify a port number on the SERVER line in the license file (27000-28000 should not be used). You also have to specify different port numbers on each VENDOR line with the PORT=<number> syntax.
Finally, you must allow firewall access to those port numbers. The following example shows how to specify port numbers in a floating license file. example, specify ports 1800, 1801, and 1802.
SERVER myServer 0123456789ab 1800
VENDOR alterad ./alterad port=1801
VENDOR mgcld ./mgcld port=1802
Port Numbers in the FLEXlm Auto Assign region 27000-28000 should not be used.
If you do not specify a port number, the FLEXlm license manager automatically chooses a free port between 27000 and 27009. However, in Windows systems you must specify an explicit port number.
