- The metadata server of the cloud environment (169.254.169.254)
It must also be able to communicate with the client systems using the license. The following ports are used for this communication:
- TCP/8083: must be permitted from the client to license server to enable the use the the license by the client.
- TCP/8084: must be permitted by the the license server for any system that should access the web interface to display license information.
