The license servers are fire-walled to only allow connections from within Tufts. NOTE: Authenticated access is restricted to the Tufts network domain. This makes possible uninterrupted 24x7 license service requests by software clients. In most cases software on the research cluster is supported by a 3-head redundant FlexLM license server. The following software license count is as follows: As a result, there is no guarantee of obtaining a fixed number of licenses. These licenses were scaled to support research work and not classroom or instructional use.

In effect, access is possible for Tufts owned workstations found in various computer labs and faculty desktops.

As a result, most of the licensed software on the cluster is 'shared' within Tufts. Concurrent network licenses are chosen to allow flexible use by a larger user-base than the number of licenses offered. However, not all cluster software is of this type. Network concurrent licenses are a class of licenses that grants access to a Tufts network attached software client installed on remote hardware. Fox, Gaussian, Inc., Wallingford CT, 2013. For HPC public domain codes, refer to the website and or included information in the software distribution.įor example, a specific citation regarding the use of Gaussian 09 software: This is often found in the documentation or on the vendor website. This varies by software and you should check the vendor/author for suggestions. In addition, be aware that use of licensed software requires a specific citation format for publication. Specifics vary and if you believe there are possible issues around your situation, feel free to contact via email to discuss this further. A common constraint is that the cluster installed software is intended for non-commercial academic use such as research and/or teaching. Please be aware that each licensed product has end-user specific compliance constraints. License information on a per product basis is found on.
