Looking on information on how to change InstallShield 2018 default update port.

[The1RadFox]

Hello All,

My security team is currently blocking the default ports for InstallShield products as port 80 or 8080. However, I am being asked to change it port to another port, but I am unable to find the setting or file where I am able to change (update) the standard port.  Needless to say all my updates and downloads continue to not function. 

Anyone know how?

Thanks,

Richard

Hi @The1RadFox ,

To get more clarity,can you please clarify when you mention "default ports for InstallShield products" is it only IIS related applications/websites or something else?

If it IIS,you can refer the below page:

Hello Jenifer,

  I am not trying to update an MSI, but I am trying to update InstallShield 2018.  I must change the default ports used by InstallShield 2018.  Is there a way to change the default update ports?

Thanks,

Hi @The1RadFox ,

Below KB article talks about the issue that you undergo and suggests solution like adding Server line entry like Server=http://spock:80/

in {Product_Guid}.ini which you could find under C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet\Connect\Database.

Let me know if that helps,
