How to change license service port

The Automation Anywhere Control Room default license service port is 8080. If the port is busy or blocked, for example, due to a firewall between the license server and clients, you have the option to change the license service port.

Prerequisites

Stop the following Automation Anywhere Control Room services, before you change the Control Room license service port:
  • Automation Anywhere Control Room Caching

This process requires downtime. During the downtime, clients are not accessible.
