In some cases, the port used on the floating license server may conflict with an organization's current setup or policy. In this case, the port number used by the floating license server must be changed and/or specified.

Changing ports

1. On the floating license server, launch LMTOOLS.
2. On the Start/Stop/Reread tab, click the Stop Server button.
3. Find the sfpflv2.dat file. This is typically located in the C:\Program Files\Actify\Floating License Manager folder.
4. Open the sfpflv2.dat file into a text editor.

5. On the first line of the file, add a port number after the Ethernet address.
   
   The first line uses the format:

    SERVER <host name> <Ethernet address> <port number>

   
   Example: 

   SERVER MY-TEST-SERVER 000B0C05BBA0 2701
   VENDOR actifyd
   FEATURE CADDS actifyd 1.0 permanent 3 0D6D1EC52042 BORROW=1080 \
   	SIGN=D62D2E28254E
   FEATURE CATIA actifyd 1.0 permanent 3 D2A2ADEDBC68 BORROW=1080 \
   	SIGN=DD435C0047D0
   .
   .
   .

6. Save the file.
7. In LMTOOLS, on the Start/Stop/Reread tab, click the Start Server button. 
8. Click the ReRead License File button.
9. In SpinFire Ultimate, navigate to the Activation page.
10. Click the CHANGE SERVER PARAMETERS... button.
11. Add the port number to the Server Port field.
