Checking License Status

License Status

Note: hpc8 is our license server

In the licensed software installed in HPC, you may want to know about the number of licenses available for particular packages. 

Ports & license servers (check the section Utilizing the License if the ports have been changed): 

Matlab:   27000@swc-licenses-1.case.edu  or lic 27000@swc-licenses-2.case.edu

Schrodinger: /usr/local/software/schrodinger/2024-4/run lictool status --licsrv-hostport hpc8:53001
# Schrodinger is no longer using FlexLM license. 

Ansys: 1055@hpc8

INTEL: 28518@license5.osc.edu 

Use the lic command to check the license using the correct license ports

lic <port>@hpc8 # example: lic 1055@hpc8 for Ansys.

Utilizing the License

• Our licenses that are installed on the HPC Environment are shared resources, so please conserve them as you continue to use them. 

• You may sometimes get "license error" when the licenses or some of the license features are already used up.

You can determine the path of the license by issuing

module display <Software>

For the example Software, Schrodinger, it becomes:

module display schrodinger

output:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   /usr/local/share/modulefiles/Core/schrodinger/20XX-Y.lua:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...

pushenv("SCHRODINGER_LICENSE_SERVERS","hpc8:53001")

...

You have the license path/file for Schrodinger as "hpc8:53001".

Now, you can check Schrodinger license using:

 /usr/local/software/schrodinger/2024-4/run lictool status --licsrv-hostport hpc8:53001
