Checking that the floating license server is listening to incoming connections on Windows

To make sure that the floating license server is running and listening to connections on the specified port (13 by default) on Windows, run the resource monitor as follows:

• From the Windows Start menu, type "resmon" without the quotes, right click on the "resmon" best match and click "Run as administrator"
• Once the "Resource Monitor" window is open, go to the "Network" tab
• Open the "Listening Ports" group
• Locate the "TurboFloatServer.exe" item and check that it is listening twice (IPv4 and IPv6) to the correct port (13), and that the "Firewall Status" column indicates "Allowed, not restricted"

Checking that the floating license server is listening to incoming connections on Linux

Once activated and running, we can test that the floating license server is listening to incoming connections on Linux. How this is done depends on your Linux distribution. On Ubuntu, you can use the following command:

• sudo lsof -i:PORT_NUMBER

Where:

• PORT_NUMBER is the port the server should be listening to. It is “13” by default, and can be changed from the “TurboFloatServer-config.xml” file
