Specific Firewall information:

Firewall issues are usually solved by adding the Sentinel RMS License Manager to your the firewall exceptions. The provider of the licensing system SafeNet states that:
"The Sentinel RMS License Manager only uses the UDP port 5093 at Server end by default. And at client end the ports are used dynamically and controlled by Operating System i.e. for communication only UDP port 5093 is used at server end and at client end it is used dynamically on the basis of available port."
