Sassafras KeyServer (keysrvr)

The license-management port of Sassafras KeyServer, used by its KeyAccess clients.

TCP UDP IANA registry

Description

IANA registers 19283 as keysrvr, "Key Server for SASSAFRAS", to Sassafras Software, whose KeyServer product does software-license metering and computer-inventory tracking on university and enterprise fleets. Managed machines run a KeyAccess client that talks to the server on this port, which is why it shows up across a whole lab or campus subnet at once. Nmap sees it more often on UDP than TCP.

An internal asset- and license-management service that every managed endpoint trusts. There is no reason for it to answer outside the organization's network.
