What ports must be open on firewall to allow RDS/TS CAL checkouts?

Hello,

What ports must be allowed through a firewall for a W2K8 R2 server or
Windows7 client to check out RDS aka TS per device CALs from a W2K8 R2 RDS
licensing server? I think port 3389 TCP must be allowed to pass through but
I am not sure and if port 1688 TCP must also be allowed.

Thanks in advance to who knows for sure who enlightens me.

Have a nice day!

As I posted already in the other forum "server.setup" :

if you are meaning the KMS activation services with "checkout CAL" then yes,
the KMS service default port is 1688 (TCP). This must be enabled to allow
your clients/servers to activate their self. But I'm unsure here if this
fits into your scenario....
