# 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.
