Configuring the Listening Port for HP Anyware License Server

HP Anyware License Server listens for communication from Anyware Agents in your deployment on a defined listening port. By default, this listening port is set to 7070, but can be changed by specifying the PORT setting in the C:\Program Files\HP\HP Anyware License Server\server\local-configuration.yaml configuration file.

Info

Anyware Agents are configured to use port 7070 by default. If you change the license server port, you must also change the configuration of all Anyware Agents that use it.

To change the listening port of the license server:

  1. Open C:\Program Files\HP\HP Anyware License Server\server\local-configuration.yaml in a text editor.

  2. Locate the port assignment line:

  3. Change the value of port to the new one. The port number must be an integer between 1 and 65535.

  4. Save the file and exit the editor.

  5. Restart the license server for the new value to take effect:

    1. Navigate to the Services app.

    2. Select the "HP Anyware License Server" service.

    3. Stop and then start this service.

  6. Update the configuration of any Anyware Agents that communicate with this HP Anyware License Server. For instructions, see one of the following guides:
