Configuring Ports and Tabs in @RISK Platform Server Manager (8.6.1+)

 

Determining the Licenses Tab

1. Launch Server Manager:

   Start » All Programs » @RISK Platform Server Manager » Server Manager
   

2. Depending on your setup, determine whether to use the Licenses tab or the Legacy Licenses tab.

   • Legacy Licenses tab: Default settings select both communication ports dynamically and disallow borrowing. 

   • License tab: Default port number is 8090. 

   • Your current options are shown in the Network Server Information box.

   • Click Options if you want to change these settings.

 

Checking Active Ports

• Click Status in Server Manager to see which ports the server is using.

• Note: Dynamic ports may change each time the service starts.

Changing the Port on the License tab

1. Note: changing the port requires the service to be restarted, which will prevent users from accessing the license until their machines are redirected to the new port number.

2. Navigate to the License tab.

3. Click Options in Server Manager.

4. Change the Port number and then click on OK
5. You will receive a pop up to confirm the port change and warn of restarting the service. Clicking Yes will remove any active users and then change the required port number.
6. You will need to use the new client.ini file to update existing users (see article on redirecting here), or to install new users.

Changing the lmgrd Port

1. Click Options in Server Manager.

2. Under Communication Port Number (lmgrd):

   • Specify an unused port, or select Dynamic.

3. Click OK, then Stop Service, then Start Service.

4. Generate a new Palisade_NetworkClient.ini file, even if no new clients are being installed.

5. Update any existing Concurrent Network clients to use the new lmgrd port.

 

Changing the Palisade Vendor Daemon Port

1. Click Options under the lmgrd port.

2. Under Communication Port Number (vendor daemon), specify a port or select Dynamic.

3. Click OK, then Stop Service, then Start Service.

Notes:

• No new INI file is needed if only the vendor daemon port changes.

• Client settings do not store the vendor daemon port.

• If firewalls were configured for this port, update client firewall rules accordingly.

 

Summary

• Tabs: Use Licenses or Legacy Licenses depending on your server’s existing setup.

• License tab uses 8090 as default, this can be updated. Changing the port number requires updating any existing clients.

• lmgrd port: Dynamic (default 27000–27009) or fixed; changing it requires updating all clients.

• Vendor daemon port: Dynamic (any unused port) or fixed; changing it only requires server update and firewall adjustment if needed.

• Always generate a new Palisade_NetworkClient.ini after changing the port on the License tab, or the lmgrd port on the Legacy Licenses tab.
