2.5. Configuring the License Server

This section provides information on how to configure your license server machine (post-installation) and modify your firewall settings to allow server communications.

2.5.1. Specifying Firewall Settings

If you use a firewall at your site and if you run Ansys products outside the firewall but access the license server within the firewall, you will need to add the Licensing Interconnect and FlexNet port numbers to the exceptions list, as well as the PORT designated on the VENDOR line of the license file. By default, these port numbers are:

Licensing Interconnect: 2325
FlexNet: 1055
PORT designated by PORT=#### on the VENDOR LINE in the ansyslmd.lic file (see VENDOR Lines for information on this PORT number)
