I have a legacy application, which when it is run listens on a port. When I execute the application, it works fine. When I run it through a scheduled task, it starts the process, but does not listen on the port (netstat -ao). It is using the same user account I am logged in as for the task user.
Any ideas why it won't listen on the port?
Thanks.

1I understand it's the same user account, but does that account have administrative privileges? do you get a UAC prompt when you run it normally? if so I would double-check the "Run with highest privileges" option in the task, or trying playing with the other security options – mael' – 2019-05-28T19:34:44.763
The account is a member of the administrators group, and I don't get the prompt. Thanks. – Sako73 – 2019-05-29T11:55:58.793
This turned out to be a licensing issue. Thanks for the help. – Sako73 – 2019-05-30T12:44:52.850
Glad you figured it out! – mael' – 2019-05-30T13:46:16.410
