Great now I know :-)
Port 139 and 445 are needed.

Tanks for all help

 Hi, I'm having the same problem. I haven't played a lot with windows firewall, does someone have any step by step/tutorial on what to do if I'm having this exact problem?

ALM works on the network fine as long as firewall is turned off, when I turn it on, I can't transfer licenses.

Split from Automation License Manager and ports.

Consider adding an exception in your firewall.
I am assuming you are using Windows 10..

I have a Windows server 2016 which is supposed to host Automation License Manager, and have client devices which are mostly windows 10. 

Currently if I have to get the license from the server onto the client, I have to disable firewall in both.

This is what my inbound rules section looks like on the server for Automation License Manager Service

All column not visible here are "Any"

Thanks for your help!
