Modifying server port numbers
In rare cases, you may need to change the port number used by the Vectorworks Site Protection Server. For example, another application may already use the default port number. The port number can be easily changed at installation. Otherwise, change the port number by editing the license file (.lic).
Use caution when editing the license file.
Select View/Edit License(s) from the server administration Home screen Server menu.
The View/Edit License screen opens.
Select the license file you want to edit from the License File to Edit list.
Click Next.
The Edit license file window opens. A portion of an example license file is described below.
5053: This is the port number of the RLM server. The default setting is 5053. This port is necessary to connect to the clients.
ISV vektorwrx: This parameter specifies the port number of the ISV server, for internal use. By default, an open port is assigned automatically.
To change the port number, type: ISV vektorwrx port=nnnn (where nnnn is the desired port number).
Do not edit any other portions of the license file. The Vectorworks Site Protection Server may become inoperable.
Click Update License File to save the changes.
Restart the Vectorworks Site Protection Server; see Shutting down the RLM server.
