TCP connections between iTest client and License Server

Hi,

 

I have read the thread "How to prevent your firewall from blocking the default port used by FlexLM" and could see communication is done on a configured specific port (e.g 27001) in license file.

 

However, after check out complete ,it seems like other tcp connections exists b/w iTest client and Lic server other than 27001.

 

netstat -nbv

 TCP    itest_client:4509      lic_server:41813    ESTABLISHED     540
  C:\WINDOWS\System32\mswsock.dll
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\WS2_32.dll
  C:\Program Files\Fanfare\iTest 3.3\jre\bin\net.dll
  -- unknown component(s) --
  [iTest.exe]

  TCP    itest_client:4512       lic_ser:41813    ESTABLISHED     540
  C:\WINDOWS\System32\mswsock.dll
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\WS2_32.dll
  C:\Program Files\Fanfare\iTest 3.3\jre\bin\net.dll
  -- unknown component(s) --
  [iTest.exe]

  TCP    itest_client:4515      172.16.64.224:41813    ESTABLISHED     540
  C:\WINDOWS\System32\mswsock.dll
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\WS2_32.dll
  C:\Program Files\Fanfare\iTest 3.3\jre\bin\net.dll
  -- unknown component(s) --
  [iTest.exe]

Should I also open these port on firewall ? and Why these connection exist ?

 

Thanks

Look at this thread for your answer:

You have to configure your server in such a way that it uses a single port only. By default, Flex will use a well known port for initial connection - but a dynamic TCP port for actual license checkouts and heartbeats.
