Third-party Antivirus and firewall programs can sometimes interfere with the functionality of CurrentWare.
If you have any 3rd party antivirus or firewall installed on your client computers, we recommend adding the following CurrentWare files to your antivirus exclusion list (also known as the exceptions list or allowed list on some antivirus programs).
Add the following to your exclusions
cwClientSetup.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\CurrentWare C:\AppData\Roaming\CurrentWare\ -This folder may be hidden by default C:\Windows\System32\WinDivert64.sys
Exclude all the files from these folders
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\wcsystck\ C:\Windows\Temp\cwClientSetup.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\CurrentWare\cwClient\cwClientSetup.exe
*for 32-bit OS, the directory is C:\Windows\System32\wcsystck\
C:\Program Files (x86)\CurrentWare\cwServer\cwServer.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\CurrentWare\cwServer\CWSM.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\CurrentWare\cwConsole\cwConsole.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\CurrentWare\cwClient\cwClientSetup.exe
*for 32-bit OS, the directory is C:\Program Files\CurrentWare\
Based on your solution(s) installed you may have different port requirements.
Ports and Protocol | What the ports handle |
8989-8992, 8995-8999 TCP/UDP | Client+Console connection and data upload ports |
