Modifying SolidNetWork License Manager Settings for Windows Firewall

If you are using Windows Firewall, you must modify the SolidNetWork license file to use the firewall ports to distribute licenses to the license client computers.

  1. Start SolidNetWork License Manager ( Start > Programs > SOLIDWORKS version > SolidNetWork License Manager > SolidNetWork License Manager ).
  2. On the Server Administration tab, under License Server, click Stop. (Click Yes when prompted for confirmation and OK to complete stopping the license server.)
  3. Under License Information, click Modify.
  4. Under Server Type, select the server arrangement for your network (Single or Triad) and then click Next.
  5. Under Server Information:
    1. Select A firewall is in use on this server.
    2. Port Number and Vendor Daemon Port Number should contain the port numbers specified for the Windows Firewall (for details, see Modifying License Manager Computer Ports for Windows Firewall).
    3. Select Options File and click Browse to locate the file. Click Edit to change any of its parameters.

      The options file allows the license administrator to control various operating parameters of FLEXnet Licensing.

      The recommended location for the options file is in the SolidNetwork License Manager installation directory (SolidNetwork_License_Manager_install_dir\Licenses \sw_d.opt). This file must in the same directory as the sw_d.lic file.

      For more information about the options file, see the FLEXnet Publisher License Administration Guide in the SolidNetwork License Manager installation directory (\Docs\flexuser\licensingenduserguide.pdf).

    4. Click Next and then click Finish.
  6. On the Server Administration tab, under License Server, click Start.
  7. Click OK to close the SolidNetWork License Manager.
