Accounting firm deployed new tax software across 15 workstations. Software installed fine but threw "Cannot connect to license server" on launch. Vendor support said "check your firewall." Opening Windows Firewall settings remotely through RMM was slow and manual. Needed quick way to test if firewall was the issue.

Could spend 30 minutes hunting for the right ports and creating rules, or spend 30 seconds toggling the firewall to confirm it's the culprit. Once confirmed, then create the proper rules.

Quick toggle script for troubleshooting. Disables all profiles, test the app, then re-enable. Confirms firewall as root cause in seconds.

This is a diagnostic tool, not a permanent fix. Toggle off to test, immediately toggle back on. Then create proper firewall rules for the specific ports needed. Never leave firewall disabled in production. Script includes warnings and displays current state clearly.

Ran toggle script, firewall off, app connected immediately. Confirmed firewall was the issue. Re-enabled firewall, created proper inbound rule for TCP 27000, deployed rule via GPO to all workstations. Software working across entire office.
