How do I determine which ports my FlexNet licence server will use?

Solution

Note: GOLD 5.4 and later uses CSD software suite based licensing, and does not require a flexnet license server to be run. The following information therefore only applies to GOLD 5.3 and earlier.

For GOLD 5.3 and earlier, by default the GOLD licence server will use two ports that are randomly assigned when the server is started. It is possible to specify the ports used for both the lmgrd server and the vendor daemon in the licence file that GOLD uses. In order to do so, you will need the following syntax:

SERVER name hostid port

e.g. SERVER mycomputer 0101010101 27000

vendor daemon:

VENDOR ccdc port=number

e.g. VENDOR ccdc port=27001

These changes can be directly edited into the licence file.
