Your license server must be reachable by our compute nodes, so your firewall will need to be configured appropriately. This usually requires our technical team to get in touch with the technical people managing your license software. Please contact our [[Technical support|technical support]] and we will provide a list of IP addresses used by our clusters and obtain the information we need on the port and IP address of your server. | Your license server must be reachable by our compute nodes, so your firewall will need to be configured appropriately.

Sharcnet provides a small but free license consisting of 2cae and 21 execute tokens where usage limits are imposed 10 tokens/user and 15 tokens/group. For groups that have purchased tokens, the free token usage limits are added to their reservation. The free tokens are available on a first come first serve basis and mainly intended for testing and light usage before deciding whether or not to purchase dedicated tokens. The license can be used by any Compute Canada member but only on SHARCNET hardware - purchased tokens that run on the license server fall under the same agreement. Such hardware includes gra-vdi for running abaqus in full graphical mode and graham cluster for submitting compute batch jobs to the queue. Before you can use the license you must open ticket at <support@computecanada.ca> and request access. In your email 1) mention that it is for use on Sharcnet systems and 2) include a copy/paste of the following <tt>License Agreement</tt> statement with your full name and Compute Canada username entered in the indicated locations. Please note that every user must do this ie) cannot be done one time only for a group (including PIs who have purchased their own dedicated tokens). | Sharcnet provides a small but free license consisting of 2cae and 21 execute tokens where usage limits are imposed 10 tokens/user and 15 tokens/group.

The Western site license may only be used by Western researchers with hardware located on Western's campus such as the Dusky legacy cluster. Graham and gra-vdi are excluded since they are located at Waterloo (use the Sharcnet License for these systems as described above). Contact the Western abaqus license server administrator (located in Robarts) to make arrangements before attempting to use the Western abaqus license. Submit a ticket to Compute Canada support to request the admins contact information if necessary. You will need to provide your Compute Canada username and likely make arrangements to purchase tokens. If you are granted access request the port and server values and enter them into your abaqus.lic file as shown in 1) near the top of this wiki which will in turn be used by the Compute Canada module on dusky when it loads. | The Western site license may only be used by Western researchers with hardware located on Western's campus such as the Dusky legacy cluster.
