Configure the license server

The FLS manages the licenses. The licensed application (PRISMAprepare and/or PRISMAdirect)

must connect to the FLS. Therefore, you have to specify:

1. The port of the FLS. You have to specify the license server port in both the licensed

application and the [License Server Administration].

2. The name of the FLS. The server name can be a network name or an IP address. You have to

specify the server name in the licensed application.

Terminology

FLS: the computer where the Floating License Server is installed.

Licensed application: PRISMAprepare and/or PRISMAdirect

Configure the ports

1. The license server port

The licensed application uses this port number to initiate communications with the FLS. The

lmgrd.exe process listens on the license server port.

Range: [27000 - 27009] or [ANY].

If the port number is [ANY], the FLS uses the first available port in the range [27000 - 27009]

to listen for the licensed application. The licensed application tries to connect to the FLS

starting with port 27000. If the FLS does not respond, the licensed application tries the next

port. When all ports in the range [27000 - 27009] are blocked or in use by other applications,

the licensed application cannot connect to FLS.

2. The vendor port

When the licensed application connects to the license server port, it receives the vendor port

number from the FLS. Then, the licensed application opens the vendor port. The

ocelmgrd.exe process listens on the vendor port.

Range: [49152 - 65535] or [ANY].

If the port number is [ANY], the first available port in the range [49152 - 65535] is used by the

FLS and the licensed application.

Check the port numbers

The FLS uses TCP/IP ports to communicate with the licensed application. You have to check if the

same license server port is used in both the [License Server Administration] and the licensed

application.

To check the license server port for the FLS in PRISMAprepare, do:

1. Open the "Floating Licence Server Administration" console.
