Systemctl license server service administration
The Advantest FlexNet Embedded license server runs as a standard Linux service and is controlled (starting, stopping, restarting, and displaying status) by systemctl. The license server can be used in a standalone system (not connected to a tester) providing licenses for tester workstations in the network. It can also be used to provide licenses primarily for the local attached tester. The license server uses the port 7070 which is opened in the firewall with the installation of the advantest-fne-server package.

Firewall
The RHEL setup for V93000 tester workstations uses a firewall to control incoming connections. If the FNE license server is being used by multiple tester workstations connected to the network, SmarTest clients running on the local workstation where the license server is installed are not affected by the firewall. Outgoing connections from the local tester workstation to other license servers, even those accessible over the internet, are also not affected be the firewall. The FlexNet Embedded license server uses the port 7070 which is opened in the firewall by installing the advantest-fne-server (RPM) package.
