Re: [WiX-users] Set firewall exception

It's all peer to peer, no server. So each AddIn listens for the UDP broadcasts and replies to the broadcaster saying they exist. The broadcast occurs at startup and if the number of replies is greater than the license allows that AddIn is disabled. So the first N can run, the rest cannot. Thanks

Re: [WiX-users] Set firewall exception

OK, so I see that your port (1707) is registered with IANA, so you could do it by opening this port, although other applications could get a surprise if they are allocated this port by the OS. Presumably you're broadcasting in order to find a licensing server? As I recall, you don't need to open a

Our copy protection is a UDP broadcast and a TCP reply to limit the totally number of AddIns in use to what is licensed. So we definitely want that port opened no matter what :) David Thielen www.windwardreports.com 303-499-2544 x1185 Cubicle Wars - http://www.windwardreports.com/film.htm
