I installed Flexmonster Data Speed Accelerator for Miscrosoft SSAS according to the instructions on the website. Without changing anything in the configuration, I get this error message. I tried changing the port to a random number and still get the same error. I'm running this on a Windows machine that has installed SQL Server 2022 and SSAS.

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing the logs.
This error occurs when the specified port is already used. Even if you have tried changing it, it is worth double-checking if the port is already used by another application or is reserved by the system. We recommend using Windows network diagnostics commands to verify that the port you are trying to set is free. If this does not work, could you please share your config file so we can examine this further?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
Maksym
Thanks for the answer. The ports are free:
This is the config, I just changed the port number, the rest is the default that's configured when installing the program.
CONNECTION_STRING=Data Source=localhost
PORT=50392
HTTPS=false
CACHE_MEMORY_LIMIT=0
CACHE_ENABLED=true
GZIP=true
ALLOW_ORIGIN=*
WINDOWS_AUTH=false
