# General Configuration

The `[Server]` section of the Answer Server configuration file contains general settings that affect the server. In most cases, the only parameter that you might need to modify is the `Port` parameter, which controls the port that Answer Server listens on. This port must not be used by any other service on the host machine.

For example:

    [Server]
    Port=12000

Similarly, the `[Service]` section controls the behavior on the service port. You must make sure that the `ServicePort` parameter uses a port that is not used by any other service.

For example:

    [Service]
    ServicePort=12002

You must also configure the License Server for your system. For more information, see Configure the License Server Host and Port.
