# What URL and port is needed for on-line activation of license?

**Applies to: All FlexStand OI versions**

- Port **443** (HTTPS)

You can get the IP address using the command line:

1. Click the Start button, type "cmd" (without the quotes) in the search bar, and press enter to open the Command Prompt.
2. Type the following command:  
   **ping secure.softwarekey.com**
