How to set the Metashape/PhotoScan license server port so it doesn’t change with a reboot?

Probable Resolution #1:

There are two ports used by the license server. One for the host and one for the ISV. Both are set in the license file and the ports are used upon restart of the license server service.

1. In all valid Metashape/PhotoScan license files, modify the line “HOST hostname hostid XXXX”, where XXXX is the desired port number for the license server.
2. In all valid Metashape/PhotoScan license files, modify the line “ISV agisoft” to be “ISV agisoft port=XXXX”, where XXXX is the desired port number for the specific ISV on the license server.
3. Restart the Metashape/PhotoScan license server service, then the Agisoft ISV should always use port the desired two ports.

Note: The ports can be changed as desired without impacting the validity of the licenses.
