Listening Port - The Forum Sentry License Server will listen for incoming calls from all Sentry instances that are leasing licenses. Theses calls happen over HTTPS. The default port for this communication is 443 but this can be changed during the installation of the License Server to any available port.
Network Availability - Each Forum Sentry instance configured to lease a license from the License Server will need constant access to the server on the listening port. Failure to reach the License Server will eventually result in the Sentry instance becoming unlicensed.
