Checking the connection to a license server.

Checking the connection to a license server.

Problem:

How can a connection to a license server be checked without using Opcenter APS?

It appears that a license server is available, but Opcenter APS can't find licenses or is not available to use. 

Solution:

Use Microsoft Windows PowerShell to test the connection.

  1.  Determine the IP address or Domain Name of the license server computer
    1. Choose a port
      1. On the client computer, open Windows PowerShell
        1. In the Windows PowerShell window type the following

           Test-NetConnection -Port <port> -ComputerName <computer name or ip address>

          If successful, the output will be:

          ComputerName : <computer name or ip address>
          RemoteAddress : <ip address>
          RemotePort : <port>
          InterfaceAlias : <network adapter name>
          SourceAddress : <client ip address>
          TcpTestSucceeded : True
