Using Licensed Software with LSF
Many applications have restricted access based on the number of software licenses
purchased. LSF can help manage licensed software by automatically forwarding jobs to
licensed hosts, or by holding jobs in batch queues until licenses are available.
In this section
LSF can manage three types of software licenses, described in the following sections:
◆ “Host-locked Licenses” on page 231
◆ “Counted Host-Locked Licenses” on page 232
◆ “Network Floating Licenses” on page 233
