For some preinstalled software products we offer a limited number of licenses only.
In case you do not want to queue for a certain license you can bring your own.
This requires the following bring/provide your own license to run a certain software on our systems take the following steps:
- Determine if you need to access your license server from our compute nodes, our login nodes, or both.
- Check, that your relevant license server ports are accessible from 130.73.234.140 (compute nodes) and/or 130.73.234.[1-20] (login nodes), respectively.
Usually, you need to ask your local admin to open your license server to external access from these IPs and ports.
Please configure the ports of your license server statically (see remark *). - Send a mail to support@nhr.zib.de including the name (FQDN), IP, and ports of your license server.
In case your license server is inside a subnet, we also need to know the name/IP of its access point. - Wait for our reply, that the corresponding IP forwarding rules are activated in our firewall/gateway. You can test it (from our compute/login nodes):
telnet your-license-server port
