I am attempting to set up a PyCharm License Server on my LAN.
I have an Ubuntu 16.04 server, hightower set up to do this. I've installed the license server, and it appears to be successfully running on 8080:
admin@hightower:/opt/jetbrains$ sudo bin/license-server.sh start

JetBrains License Service is running
But I can't access the webpage at 8080 from another computer on the LAN, in order to continue the process.
From a workstation, 01-e on the LAN with a GUI/Ubuntu 16.04, trying to access hightower:8080 or http://hightower:8080/register or 192.168.0.7:8080 or hightower.domain.local:80801 or any combo gives me:
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at hightower:8080.
I can ping hightower:
...-01-e:~$ ping hightower
PING hightower.domain.local (192.168.0.7) 56(84) bytes of data.

Firewall isn't on, on the server hightower
admin@hightower:/opt/jetbrains$ sudo ufw status

Stabbing in the dark to see if the page is actually being served:
admin@hightower:/opt/jetbrains$ wget hightower:8080

So how do I make this page visible on my LAN?
Edit: Additional digging, it appears 8080 is only being served to localhost. I'm guessing this is the problem.
admin@hightower:/opt/jetbrains$ netstat -nl

Edit:
admin@hightower:~$ cat /etc/hosts

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
Fixed it. I had to run:
<license_server_home>/bin/license-server.sh configure --port 8080 --listen 0.0.0.0
instead of the suggested:
<license_server_home>/bin/license-server.sh configure --port 8080 --listen license-server.mydomain.com
I probably could have also changed /etc/hosts to read:
admin@hightower:~$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
0.0.0.0 hightower
But it was recommended to me that this was not good practice since I only want the one port accessible.
