This Guide is how to configure SpinFire and actifyd.exe to use specific ports (static ports) and not automatic ports (dynamic ports). PortNumber specifies the TCP/IP port to use for communication with the license manager daemon.
A valid port number is any unused port number between 0 and 64000. If the TCP/IP port number is not specified, FLEXnet uses a port number in the range 27000 to 27009.
 
NOTE - Setting a specified port for the Vendor Daemon (actifyd.exe) and the lmgrd.exe is not needed in most cases. But with some "firewall" configurations and/or VPN configurations this can be required . Steps for adding actifyd.exe + lmgrd.exe to the firewall can befound here

1. If a port for SpinFire has been specified on the Floating License Manager, 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.
   
   
2. 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.
   
   
3. 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.
   
   
4. 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.
   
   
5. 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.
   
   
6. Please note that the latest Floating License Manager is mandatory to use SpinFire Ultimate 11.7.0 release!.
   
   
7. If you are using a Floating License Manager supplied from somewhere else  the following must be true to be compatible with SpinFire Ultimate:

• Must be 64 bit version of the Floating License Manager
• lmgrd.exe version must fit to ours, mean our version # = or > to ours
• lmtools.exe version must be related to lmgrd.exe version
• actifyd.exe will be used from the folder of the related lmgrd.exe used and setup by lmtools.exexe
