Licensing

Some software packages on Monsoon have a limited number of simultaneous users due to licensing restrictions. You can check the current status of all available licenses using the command scontrol show lic . You can also tell SLURM that your job requires the use of a license by adding a line of the form “#SBATCH ––licenses:<program name>:<number of licenses requested>” For example, to ensure that your job only runs when a MATLAB license is available, you can add the following line to your SLURM script:

#SBATCH ––licenses=matlab:1
