  I have activated a new entitlement of Ansys Lumerical FDTD. How can I make the host computer a server for the other remote computers in our lab?

  Configure your license file with static ports and open the 3 TCP ports (1055, 1056, 2325) for access on the license server. https://support.lumerical.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500003726142-Ansys-entitlement-activation-and-installation
  Then configure Lumerical 2021 R2 on the other computers to obtain the license from the license server machine where the ANSYS LM is hosted. https://support.lumerical.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026079294-How-to-obtain-a-floating-license

  Can you please give me a more detailed instruction about the first step "Configure your license file with static ports and open the 3 TCP ports (1055, 1056, 2325) for access on the license server."?
