An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions

[tgraupmann]

I ran into a System.Net.Sockets.SocketException trying to initialize the LIFX client.

var task = LifxNet.LifxClient.CreateAsync();

{"An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions"}

What's the best way to work around this? My first thought is to run as administrator or some other app manifest permission like "Private (Networks Client & Server)".

Thanks,

This might be an issue that occurs if you already have the LIFX DLL loaded by another instance of your application or by another application.

This is almost always the reason. Make sure you close down any other running LIFX apps. Only one process can bind to the UDP port needed
