We are a hosting provider for QuantumATK. This means that we have QuantumATK software installed on our clusters, but we do not provide a generic license accessible to everyone. Many institutions, faculties, and departments already have licenses that can be used on our clusters. Alternatively researchers can purchase a license from [https://account.cmc.ca/en/WhatWeOffer/Products/CMC-00200-00368.aspx CMC] for use anywhere in Canada, or purchase a dedicated [https://solvnet.synopsys.com/SmartKeys License] directly from Synopsys company for use on our systems. | |||
Once the legal aspects are worked out for licensing, there will be remaining technical aspects. The license server on your end will need to be reachable by our compute nodes. This will require our technical team to get in touch with the technical people managing your license software. In some cases such as CMC, this has already been done. You should then be able to load the COMSOL modules, and it should find its license automatically. If this is not the case, please contact our [[Technical support]], so that we can arrange this for you. | Once the legal aspects are worked out for licensing, there will be remaining technical aspects.
