Changing Port Numbers

You can change the port numbers used for the License Administration Console Web browser communication, the Citrix License Server, and the Citrix vendor daemon. You can change these ports:

Console Web Server Port: The HTTP TCP/IP port that the Web server uses to listen for communication with clients connecting to the License Administration Console. By default, the port is set to 8082. If you are already using that port number for another application, you can change it to a range between 1 and 65535. If you use HTTPS, the default port is 443. If you change the port, you must stop and restart the Citrix Licensing service.
License Server Manager Port: This port number is used by the license server manager, which handles the initial communication between the products, starts the vendor daemon, and relays check out and check in requests to the vendor daemon. By default, this port number is between 27000 and 27009.
Tip: You can verify which port number is being used from the System Information tab in the Administration area.
Vendor Daemon Port: This port number is used by the Citrix vendor daemon, which is responsible for the core operations of the license server, including license allocation. By default, this port number is 7279; however, you may need to change it if you have a firewall or if the number is already in use.
Tip: You can verify which port number is being used from the Vendor Daemon Configuration tab in the Administration area.

When using the License Administration Console you no longer need to use the License Server Port Utility to change port numbers. The License Server Port Utility was used to change port numbers before this functionality was developed in the License Administration Console.
