  • During installation, exceptions are made to your firewall to ensure smooth running. The exception is added for:

C:\Program Files\Chaos\VRLService\OLS\vrol.exe

C:\Program Files\Chaos\UnifiedLogin\ula.exe

After installing the License Server, you need to ensure that TCP Port 30304 is open for both incoming and outgoing communications in the firewall software running on the machine where the license server is installed.
