Follow these steps to change the port number for the Floating License Server.

Prerequisites

• KeyShot

• License Server Application

• Windows Admin/Network Admin privileges

Procedure

How to change Port Number with Luxion License Server.

1. Start the Luxion License Server application.

2. Go to the Install License tab.

3. Click Set Server Ports

   1. FlexLM Port: Change this to avoid port conflicts if you have other license servers on the same machine. (Default: 27000)

   2. Daemon Port: This is only used for network setups with a Firewall. If a Firewall is used, both ports need to be set and opened in the Firewall.

4. Click OK.

5. Click Reread License File to make sure the changes are applied.

How to change the ports manually

1. Open your KeyShot floating license with a text editor.
2. Look for the Server line.
3. After the MAC address add your port number. (Default port 27000)
4. You can also add a port to Vendor Daemon by putting PORT= ####
   
   Here is a sample file with the server port set at 27003 and the Daemon port set to 27004: 
   # CUSTOMER KEYSHOT
   # SERIAL FPTESTING
   SERVER KEYSHOTSERVER 123456789101 27003
   VENDOR LUXION PORT=27004
   FEATURE keyshot2 LUXION 2025 permanent 9 DUP_GROUP=UHD BORROW=720 \
