Please find a table of the ports used below:

Ref	Purpose/URL	Port
1	FlexNet Manager Suite cloud authentication (not used for on-premises implementations) ?https://agw.flexnetoperations.com/agw/login Note: In your on premises implementation, the inventory beacon completes registration directly with your central server, and is not redirected to any other URL for registration.	Not applicable
2	Web application server ? typically like http://ourPrefix.example.com/Suite. The URL used for your implementation is fully configurable during installation, and may use either of the HTTP or HTTPS protocols.	Configurable during installation. Defaults are port 80 for HTTP connections and port 443 for HTTPS.
3	batch scheduling server ? determined during installation. Depending on implementation scale, this may be the same server as the web application server (using the same URL), or a separate server having a changed prefix in the URL. Ask your administrator for more information.	Configurable during installation. Defaults are port 80 for HTTP connections and port 443 for HTTPS.
4	Inventory server (for FlexNet inventory scanner and inventory agent data) ? determined during installation. Depending on implementation scale, this may be the same server as the batch scheduling server (using the same URL), or a single server for all three purposes; or it may be a separate server having a unique prefix in the URL. Ask your administrator for more information.	Configurable during installation. Defaults are port 80 for HTTP connections and port 443 for HTTPS.
5	Thawte SSL revocation server (for cloud implementations only). Note: This URL is relevant both to the production instances and to the UAT instances, for both the North American and European cloud implementations. For on-premises implementations, you may have your own certificate validation, or you may not be using digital certificates at all.	Either not applicable, or dependent on local configuration if you are using digital certificates.
6	SAP: Gather SAP Inventories Port. By default, the last two digits of the port number match the SAP instance number.	33nn (default)
7	FlexNet Manager Suite sends the log rotation command to FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications.	61616 (default)
8	FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications agents upload the report log ?http://beaconServerName/inventory-beacons/api/flexnet/servlet/ReportLogReceiver	80 (default)
9	FlexNet Manager Suite reads Microsoft Active Directory users, computers and groups. (Active Directory security groups are resolved into the individual user/computer members needed for consumption calculations for several inventory adapters, including App-V and XenApp. However, these groups are managed exclusively in Active Directory, and are not available for display in the web interface of FlexNet Manager Suite.)	389 (default)
10	SQL-based inventory collection (third-party inventory), reading from other databases	1433 (default) for Microsoft SQL 1521 (default) for Oracle 50000 (default) for DB2
11	SAP sends license recommendations ? http://beaconServerName/SAPService/SAPService.asmx	80 (default)
12	Discovery of computers on your network, including isolating other specialized computer use. The port depends on which scans you have included in the discovery rule(s). You can customize the ports used for discovery and inventory together when setting a rule. Note that the system requires a response to a ping before continuing with port scans and other methods of discovery.	ICMP is used for ping discovery of networked computers 80, 443 for VMWare ESX/VCenter (default) 1433 for Microsoft SQL Server (default) 1521, 2483 for Oracle DB (default) 137 for NetBIOS discovery of networked computers (default) 161 for SNMP discovery of networked computers (default)
13	Remote execution, where the default ports depend on the target device and the remote execution technology in use (SSH for Windows, SMB for UNIX-like platforms).	80, 443 for VM ESX/VCenter (default) 1521, 2483 for Oracle DB (default) 22 for SSH on Unix (default) 445 for SMB on Windows (default) 139 for NetBIOS (default)
14	Communications between inventory beacons ? configured during implementation, using either the HTTP or HTTPS protocol and the DNS machine name (or IP address) of the inventory beacon server. All communications are "pull" by the child beacon; there is no downward "push". Example: http://parentBeaconname/	80 (default for HTTP) 443 (default for HTTPS) If other values are configured during installation of the parent inventory beacon, the specialized port number is added to the URL. Example:https://parentBeaconname:886/
15	Communication from the FlexNet inventory agent or light-weight FlexNet Inventory Scanner to an inventory beacon? configured during installation of each inventory beacon. The URLs for each inventory beacon are collated by the central server and shared with all inventory beacons and theFlexNet inventory agents they manage. Each FlexNet inventory agent contacts its nearest available inventory beacon to upload collected inventory. It is mandatory that the URL for each inventory beacon includes both the protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) and the port number on which is it listening for uploads. In the case of the light-weight inventory scanner, there is no support for an upload infrastructure. You specify the destination for an upload with the command-line option, such as -o UploadLocation="http://InventoryBeacon/ManageSoftRL" If the scanner needs to upload to a non-default port, include this in the UploadLocation parameter, such as -o UploadLocation="https://InventoryBeacon:886/ManageSoftRL"	80 (default for HTTP) 443 (default for HTTPS) The port number (even when a default value) may be included in the URL that agents or scanners use for uploading. Example:http://parentBeaconname:80/

The whole table is not good readable. I have to scroll to the left and to the right every line to see both columns "Purpose/URL" and "Port", this is not very convenient 😉 because the scroll bar for horizontal scrolling is at the bottom end of the table... 

If I try to reduce the font size, this has no effect to the table size. I tried Google Chrome and MS Edge for testing. M.
