Is this a UAC error?

BTW I’ve tried Firewall (Already off). Disabled Symantec Endpoint. And I tried “run as Administrator”.

The process that appears to be failing to bind to a socket is the License Forwarder’s Web Forwarder. By default, it attempts to bind to port 443. It’s possible that there is a conflict with another process binding the port or that the user does not have permission to bind to the port. To rule out the former, try changing the Web Forwarding port for that License Forwarder. This can be done from the License Forwarder panel in the Monitor: right-click the License Forwarder instance and go to “Modify License Forwarder Properties -> Web Forwarding Port”. You will need to restart the License Forwarder for this change to take effect.

Upping it to 444 worked. Thanks!
