The following post walks you through how to set the port number on the server.

For the client machine:

1. Open the LP360 License Administrator using the right-click and "Run as Administrator" option.
2. Select the License tab.
3. Select the option to Use License Server and type in the name of the License Server, the Port Number the service is running on and the Desired License Level (this is dependent upon the purchased licenses available).
4. Select Set License Server.

Probable Resolution #6:

Is the port number in use by another program?

It is possible that another application is bound to the default or chosen ports used for the LP360 License Administrator. Modify the port on all machines using the LP360 License Administrator and then restart the LP360 License Server service.

If you are unsure of which ports are currently in use type ‘netstat -an’ at the command prompt.
