RUNNING COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS® WITH AMAZON™ ELASTIC COMPUTE CLOUD™ | 11
You have now created a security group. You will now need to create an Elastic
Network Interface in your security group. To do so, follow the steps below:
1 Navigate to https://console.aws.amazon.com/ and click EC2.
2 Click Network Interfaces
3
Click Create Network Interface.
4 If wanted, write a description for the ENI, e.g. ENI for my COMSOL license server.
5 Choose a subnet from the list in order to use this with your ENI.
6 Leave the field for private IP address empty to let Amazon™ create one for you
automatically.
7 Choose the security group that you created in the previous step. We called ours
COMSOL security group.
8 Click Yes, Create.
You have now created an Elastic Network Interface, and you can contact your local
COMSOL office to obtain a COMSOL Multiphysics floating network license (FNL).
To do this, you need the MAC address of your ENI. You can find this information in
the Network Interface details.
Also note the Network interface ID, VPC ID, and Security group name. This
information is needed when creating the license server.
Once you have an FNL for your ENI, you need to create an Amazon S3™ bucket to
upload the license file to the cloud. To do this, follow these steps:
1 Navigate to https://console.aws.amazon.com/ and click the Amazon S3™ icon.
2 Click Create Bucket.
3 Choose a name for your bucket—for example, comsol-server-bucket. Please note
that your buckets must have unique names within the Amazon S3™ namespace.
4 Click Create.
5 Click the bucket that you just created.
6 Click Upload.
7 Click Add Files and choose the license file created for your ENI.
8 Click Start Upload.
You have now uploaded your license file to Amazon™, and you can proceed to create
your COMSOL license server.
1 Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/ and click the AWS CloudFormation™.
