Summary
Instructions provided explain how to lock the dynamic vendor daemon to a static TCP port.
Procedure
The steps provided in this article require that you briefly stop the License Manager. During this time, connections to the License Manager will be lost.
1. On the License Manager server, open the License Manager Tools.
- ArcGIS 8.x or previous is found by clicking Start > Programs > ArcGIS > License Manager > License Manager Tools
- ArcGIS 9.0 is found by clicking Start > Programs > ArcGIS > License Manager (9.x) > License Manager Tools
2. Select the radio button for Configuration using Services.
3. Ensure ESRI License Manager (ArcGIS 8.x) or ArcGIS License Manager (ArcGIS 9) is highlighted.
4. Click the Start/Stop/Reread tab. Click Stop Server.
5. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the following path, in which you will see one or more files with a .lic extension.
- ArcGIS 8.x or previous: C:\Program Files\ESRI\License
- ArcGIS 9.0: C:\Program Files\ESRI\License\arcgis9x
6. Open the first .lic file with a text editor such as Notepad. The file should look similar to this, depending on the software version.
SERVER hostname ESRI_SENTINEL_KEY=37123456 27004
VENDOR ARCGIS
FEATURE ARC/INFO ARCGIS 9.0 01-jan-00 1 D850B0D8TW7F63C611QB
vendor_info="Q99EPCSAX6R49UU2094" ck=241
At the end of line one, note that 27004 has been assigned as the TCP port for the lmgrd daemon.
7. On the VENDOR line, add 'PORT=####', where #### is a specific port number designated by you, to lock the vendor daemon to that specific port. For example:
VENDOR ARCGIS PORT=27000
8. Save the .lic file.
9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 in every .lic file in the directory, using the same PORT=#### in every file.
10. Restore the License Manager Tools and click Start Server.
11. Click Reread License File.
12. The vendor daemon is now static; locked to the port specified.
