Draftable Legal network requirements

​

License Verification

On launch, the application will verify the product license by connecting to Draftable license servers.

Property	Value
Host	draftable.com
Port	443
Protocol	HTTPS
Required	Yes

​

Software Updates

If you use the default installer (EXE), Draftable checks for updates automatically unless your administrator has turned automatic updates off. Updates download in the background and are applied the next time you restart Draftable. The machine-wide MSI does not update itself: your administrator downloads and deploys each new version.

This host also serves the JavaScript Office add-ins, including Redline in Email, so allow it on every machine that uses them.

Property	Value
Host	dl.draftable.com
Port	443
Protocol	HTTPS
Required	Yes

​

Error Reporting

If unexpected error conditions are encountered, the application will send an error report to Draftable servers for diagnostics purposes.

This can be disabled by the user (via application settings) or by network administrators (via Group Policy).

Property	Value
Host	draftable.com
Port	443
Protocol	HTTPS
Required	No

​

Telemetry/Usage Data

Draftable Desktop uses Microsoft Azure as the host for telemetry/usage data. Hence there are outbound connections to the Azure AppInsights servers. For further information, refer to the Microsoft documentation.

This can be disabled by the user (via application settings) or by network administrators (via Group Policy).
