Enforcement of grid license managment plugin licenses
The new license optimization features enabled by the grid license management plugin
require the
lsf_mv_grid_filter license feature.
The number of
lsf_mv_grid_filter licenses should be at least the number of LSF
License Scheduler licenses.
Banded licensing
You can use permanent licenses with restictions in operating system and hardware
configurations. These banded licenses have three classes, with the E-class licenses
having no restrictions. Banded licenses support the following operating systems and
hardware configurations:
