local machine network adapter with network connectivity.

to Allow All.

SmartPlant License Manager on a Stand-alone System in the SmartPlant License Manager Installation
and User’s Guide.
Bridged Adapter
The SmartPlant License Manager license machine for this configuration can reside on the same physical
machine as the virtual machine or on the network that the physical machine is connected to.
