Port Management

This section describes port management.

DS License Server Ports

There are three ports involved when managing the DS License Server:

  • Administration port (https protocol): default 4084, used by the License Administration Tool to connect to the server
  • Licensing Port (https protocol): default 4085, used by license clients to request licenses
  • Failover port (https sockets): default 4086, used by intercommunication between cluster members.
Note: Note that:
  • The https protocol is of the tcp type.
  • The license administration tool and licensing clients can communicate with a license server through a VPN if this VPN is properly configured to support https.
  • If a port number is changed while the license server is running, the change is taken into account immediately without the need to restart the license server.
