For PDM to connect properly to all components of the application, all necessary PDM ports must be opened and unblocked. This guide will explain what ports to open and how!
The following ports must be open and whitelisted:
- PDM Archive Server: TCP and UCP ports 3030
- SQL Server: TCP port 1433 and UDP port 1434
- Web2 Server: HTTP port 80 and HTTPS port 443
- SolidNetWork License Server: TCP Port 25734 and 25735

3. Select Port and then Next.
4. Select TCP and enter ports 3030, 1433,1434, 80, 443, 25734, and 25735 separated by commas. Then click next.
5. Allow the connection, Next.
6. Allow the connection for Domain and Private connections.
