Jerry,
No, I haven't installed anything except the two patches mentioned in my
original posting. The server is behind our firewall, so it doesn't have
anything firewall like on it. It's been FLEXlm for about two years, so
it isn't some recent change. I ran across an article in the KB
regarding port use, according to netstat nothing is using its ports.
