System: macOS New to the VP, when I tried to create the PMBOK template, the VP asked me to select among the three. When I selected ‘set up workspace’ and waited, it finally showed ‘Port 2000 / 8018 used by other application or server corrupted’. How to fix this issue?

Dear Asker, Please try to restart your machine and re-perform the setup. If the problem persists, please check if port 2000 and 8018 are in-use. The following article gives you some ideas about how to perform such a checking: > **[How to Check Open TCP/IP Ports in Windows](https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/28609/how-can-i-tell-what-is-listening-on-a-tcpip-port-in-windows/)** > > Whenever an application wants to make itself accessible over the network, it claims a TCP/IP port, which means that port can’t be used by anything else. So how do you check open ports to see what application is already using it? If the ports are not in-use, then they could be blocked by Firewall and Antivirus. Best regards, Jick Yeung
