(B) Connecting to the License Server

1. We have x8 network licenses. So you’ll have to coordinate between yourselves regarding who has access.
2. For those in TES you can easily access the Meraki device via our VPN connection.
3. For those outside the main Chennai office you’ll have to connect via a separate VPN connection – please follow the “outside the office” instructions noted on our VPN post.
4. I will give you the necessary passwords.

(C) Firewall Troubles

• 9342 port to be opened on Server side. Check whether this is blocked via various firewalls, including your Meraki device, and/or the firewall located on your PC.
