When an ExtendSim License Manager is activated, a default port (51006) is assigned as the ISV Server port, as shown in the Status command. We recommend unblocking and using this port since it will not change when the Server restarts or the license is reactivated. It is possible to specify a different unblocked port as the permanent ISV port, but you will need to reset it each time the license is reactivated.
To set a different ISV port, use the RLSA window to edit your already-activated extendsim.lic license file:
- Using a browser, open the RLSA window as indicated at Part 2 • Activate License Manager of the separate document Installing & Activating ExtendSim Floating Licenses.
- On the left side of the RLSA window, click the Edit License Files command. (Note: The License File to Edit should be extendsim.lic.)
- In the window that appears, click the Edit License File button.
- In the license file field, change the number for the ISV extendsim port to be the unblocked port you’ve chosen.
It should now read "ISV extendsim port=nnnnn", where nnnnn is your unblocked port, as shown here: - In the RLSA window, click the Update License File button. The window should report license file extendsim.lic written.
- On the left-hand side of the RLSA window, click the Reread/Restart Servers command (this restarts the License Manager, not your Server).
- For the ISV, select extendsim, then click the Reread/Restart button to restart the License Manager.
- If successful, the window will display the message Reread command sent to extendsim. This indicates that the new port will be added as an alternate port.
- Click the Status command on the left side of the RLSA window to verify that the new ISV port is running. If it isn’t listed or isn’t running, and you’ve followed the directions correctly, you will need to restart the Server.
- You do not need to copy the updated extendsim.lic file to each Client, but each Client does need to have that ISV port open for outbound access.
