In Windows systems with Hyper-V, Docker or WSL we may find that the port 1116 used by the License Server is not available. so this application cannot be run, therefore any of the SGO's softwares can't be activated through the Activation Tool.
This is due because dynamic tcp port range should be changed in Windows distributions following IANA's recommendation, but some Windows installations don't have this change applied:
In a cmd we can also check if the port 1116 is available navigating to "C:\Program Files\SGO Apps\License Server\bin" and executing "sgoLicenseServer.exe -v". Any trouble with the port connection will appear prompted:
To list the ports in use in our system (and check that it does not appear the port 1116):
netstat -aof
To consult the list of excluded ports (and check that port 1116 is found in the excluded ports list):
netsh int ipv4 show excludedportrange protocol=tcp
this is an output example of the command above:

One temporary solution is to stop/start the winnat service. As admin:
net stop winnat
net start winnat
Now the port exclusion list may be something like:
netsh int ipv4 show excludedportrange protocol=tcp
Protocolo tcp Intervalos de exclusión de puertos
Puerto de inicio Puerto final
---------- --------
2869 2869
5357 5357
50000 50059 *
* - Exclusiones de puertos administrados.
We can also check in our Windows system our dynamic port interval in use:
netsh int ipv4 show dynamicport tcp
If the system is wrong configurated it will prompt something like:
Intervalo de puerto dinámico de protocolo tcp
-----------------------------------------------------------
Puerto de inicio : 1024
Número de puertos : 13977
To solve it permanently we can make use of these two commands (as admin):
netsh int ipv4 set dynamic tcp start=49152 num=16384
netsh int ipv6 set dynamic tcp start=49152 num=16384
and then reboot the system. After the reboot the output of command above should be:
