From what I have read, the license server does run as a service. You will only need to open a port if there is a firewall between the citrix servers and the license server. The location of the clients is not relevant. You can change from port 27000 if you want to. The licensing guide goes in to that detail. You can have the license server on a citrix server if you wish but they stated if you have more than 50 servers it is recommended that you have a dedicated license server. =20 =20 Philip Walley=20 Sr. Network Engineer=20 Consultrix Technologies=20 Memphis, TN. =20 Consultrix Help Desk: (601) 956-8909 Memphis Office: (901) 383-1300=20 Memphis Fax: (901) 383-1375 =20 -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lilley, Brian Posted At: Thursday, April 29, 2004 6:20 AM Posted To: The thin mailing list Conversation: [THIN] licence server resilience Subject: [THIN] licence server resilience Hi all, Does anyone happen to know how the licence server sits together? I understand that it is a nice and simple flat file, with a web interface component which can sit on a separate web server. =20 Does the licence server exist as some kind of service? Apparently it sits on socket 2700?? which I guess would need opening on firewalls?? I appreciate that the licence stuff has been detached from IMA, but I wonder why Citrix didn't continue to use the IMA socket and just have separate licence messages redirected off further up the stack?
