Server configuration

Configure port numbers

You can edit the following default ports:
  • License Server. This port number is used by the Citrix Licensing Manager. License Server Manager handles the initial communication among the products, starts the Citrix vendor daemon, and relays check out and check in requests to the vendor daemon. By default, this port number is 27000.
  • Citrix vendor daemon. This port number is used by the Citrix vendor daemon. The vendor daemon is responsible for the core operations of the License Server, including license allocation. By default, this port number is 7279. However, if you have a firewall or if the number is already in use, you must change the port number.
  • Web Services for Licensing. Port used by the Web Services for Licensing. The Web Services for Licensing hosts the Citrix Licensing Manager, so users connecting to the Citrix Licensing Manager use this port. Director and Studio use this port to communicate with the License Server using Web Services for Licensing. By default, this port number is 8083.

Register your Citrix License Server

Use the Register option in the Usage and Statistics section to register your Citrix License Server with Citrix Cloud. Once registered, the screen indicates that you are registered. Use the Remove Registration option if you want to remove the License Server registration. For more information, see Register Citrix License Server with Citrix Cloud.

Remove registration

There are reasons that you might want to remove the License Server registration with the Citrix Cloud. For example, you've registered your License Server to CompanyA, which is now merged into another organization. You want to consolidate your license usage data into one Citrix customer account. To do that, remove your registration, and then register with a new Citrix Cloud account. For more information, see Remove registration of your License Server.

Collect License Server event data

After you register your License Server with Citrix Cloud, you can choose to send your License Server's event data to Citrix. This option is enabled by default and is available only after registration. This data is used to display information in customer-facing dashboards. It's also used to provide alerts and notifications about license expiry, license renewals, and License burst mode.
