Connecting to the License Service

The License Service manages your network licenses. You need to connect to it via the License Manager to activate or deactivate any licenses.

To connect to the License Service:

1. Launch the License Manager application.

2. In the Server Name field, type the server name (or IP address) for the location where you installed the License Service.

3. Click Connect.

If you want to connect to a different server, click Disconnect and then type the new server name (or IP address).

Tip:

If the License Manager is on the same machine as the License Service, set the Server Name to localhost.

Troubleshooting tip

The License Service uses UDP port 5093 to communicate with the License Manager as well as client workstations. If you have trouble connecting the License Service, ensure UDP port 5093 is open.
