In the API server page, try configuring the FCM Server IP address and port 3801. Try clicking the Retrieve MVM Certificate button. If the OnDemand scan fails, try changing the port back to 3800. |

C:\Program Files\Foundstone or
C:\Program Files(x86)\Foundstone does not have write permission for Local Service.
