Assuming you are using Windows Firewall . . . and you have sufficient administrative rights to alter the settings (e.g. not being controlled by domain group policy settings)
Start => Control Panel => Windows Firewall => Advanced Settings => Inbound Rules => New Rule => Port => Next . . .

What service are you expecting to run on it? Port 1500 is a 'User Port' assigned by IANA using the "Expert Review" process, as per [RFC6335] - listed as "VLSI License Manager" - see

Hope this helps.
