If you have one copy of Visual LANSA installed, you already have one listener, normally using a default of 4545. If you have completed the exercises you will have another listener for the JIT server. The suggested port number for this was 4547.
The LANSA Listener is a local Windows service and if necessary, you can check how many listeners you already have using Windows :
Scroll down to find the entries. The example shown above is unusual. This PC has a number of Visual LANSA installations as well as a number of deployed applications.
