Is it possible to change UDP 5093 for QTP to a more standard Port?

Tags:

Question ID: 105165

Since UDP 5093 is non-standard it posses a high degree of vulnerability. The sentinel license manager uses UDP 5093 to issue licenses for QuickTest Pro clients. I would like to change the port to a standard port.

Yes you can change the port as mentioned above however before changing port I would review the fact that the port is a reserved port by Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).
