You cannot use port 80 for the License Statistics server under Linux unless you have root privileges, because ports with numbers lower than 1024 cannot be bound without root privileges. This is a security precaution in most kernels.

If you don't have root privileges, use a port with a number higher than 80. To change the port number, edit the WEBSERVER_PORT variable in the configuration file, xflicstat.cfg; for example, WEBSERVER_PORT = 8080.
