If a firewall is present, the system administrator may need to specify which TCP/IP ports are accessible from outside the firewall. This forces "idl_lmgrd" to communicate using that specific port number rather than dynamically selecting a port number when the license manager is started.Discussion: In this case, the vendor daemon port number is selected dynamically from a predetermined range of available port numbers.Ī port number may be specified for the "idl_lmgrd" program on the "DAEMON idl_lmgrd" line of the license file. Also note that by default, there is no TCP port number specified for the vendor daemon (idl_lmgrd) program. Note that it is the "lmgrd" program that communicates using the port number listed on the SERVER line in the license file. This port number can be changed in the license file if the port is already being used by another program on the same system. Each of these two programs establish TCP/IP communication channels in order to communicate between each other and with Exelis programs that request access to the available license seats managed by the license manager service.īy default, a server-based Exelis product license file specifies a TCP port number of "1700" at the end of the "SERVER" line in the file. Running "lmgrd" (the "master daemon" program) also invokes the Exelis products vendor daemon program, "idl_lmgrd". Server-based Exelis Visual Information Solutions licenses (such as network floating licenses or server based node-locked licenses) require running the FLEXnet license manager program (lmgrd) on a designated license server machine, in order to administer the those licenses. How do I enable floating or server-based node-locked licensing through a firewall? THIS INFORMATION ONLY PERTAINS TO SOFTWARE VERSIONS IDL 8.5, ENVI 5.3 AND PRIOR
