- Edit the sfpflv2.DAT to use 27500 port as shown below. Skip Step 2 if you do not need to do define the Actify Vendor Daemon Port.
...
In order to set the license manager to interface with the vendor daemon over a predefined static TCP-port port number (by default the port number is dynamic), add the number in the end of the VENDOR line in the license file (sfpflv2.dat) on the license server machine, in the following format e.g.:
VENDOR actifyd port=<VendorPortNumber>
For example:
VENDOR actifyd port=52500
The vendor daemon is now static-locked to the specified TCP-port 52500. Proceed to Step 3 for this change to take effect.
3. Reread the SFPFLV2.DAT in the Floating License Manager for the changes to take effect
3. Stop, Start and Re-read the sfpflv2.dat file, you will see a success or error message along the bottom. After the confirmation that the sfpflv2.dat has been successfully loaded into the Floatng License Manager proceed to the next step.

. SpinFire End User Activation
There are two methods for Floating License Manager users to activate their SpinFire. the first is to go to their Options > Activation page and enter the server details (Server Name, MAC(Physical) Address and the now specified port for SpinFire as shown below. In the first instance they should test the connection works and then to do "Activate Floating License", a window will pop to say it has been successful or not.
The second method is to copy the license.al and sfpflv2.date with the updated ports to put in this folder: C:\ProgramData\Actify\SpinFire11dat files to the end users license folder, both files must contain the specified SpinFire port and the Vendor Daemon port if that as also done on the server. The next time the user opens SpinFire Ultimate the license will be activated.
Listed below are some guidelines to follow when it comes to SpinFire/Floating License Manager configurations:
- If a port for SpinFire has been specified on the Floating License Manage, all SpinFire Clients must be using the same port or they will be unable to activate. They must specify the port in the "Activate Floating License" as well as the other server details.
- If Activate Floating License is not successful, copy the two license files (License.al and sfpflv2.dat) to the Spinfire license folders on the end user machines.
- If their license folder is empty after trying to do Activate Floating License, it may be that there is insufficient permissions on the license folder.
- When the Floating License Manager has been updated with a new SFPFLV2.dat file that has a new End of Maintenance date, the end users must also update. Normally by Activate Floating License, they will of course need to know the server details AND the specified port in the SFPFLV2.DAT file otherwise they will be unable to activate.
- When a specified port is being used for SpinFire or ActifyD.exe , it is your Network Administrator's responsbility to ensure that no other products on that Server is using the port to avoid problems later.
- Please note that the latest Floating License Manager is mandatory to use 11.7.x release!
