1. Determine how many tokens your job requires. For abaqus  use the Abaqus Token Calculator.
   For a 1-core job (--nodes 1 --ntasks 1 --cpus-per-task 1 ) you would need 5 tokens.
   For a 28-core job (--nodes 1 --ntasks 1 --cpus-per-task 28 ) you would need 20tokens.

2. Submit your job passing the --licenses  option to srun or sbatch .
   The syntax to use is <software>@<server>:<count>. For the 1-core job this would look like:

   Code Block
   theme Midnight
   --licenses=abaqus@stilic3:5

   
   

...

1. To check how many licenses can be used in the cluster, and how many are free one can use:

   Code Block
   theme Midnight
   scontrol show licenses

   The output looks like (today on the Fidis cluster):

   Code Block
   theme Midnight
   $ scontrol show licenses LicenseName=abaqus@stilic3 Total=80 Used=0 Free=80 Remote=yes

   
   

2. To check how many licenses are available from the license daemon perspective one needs to use a command that is specific to each software. in the case of abaqus it would be (after loading the abaqus  module):

   Code Block
   theme Midnight
   lmstat -c 27005@stilic3.epfl.ch -f abaqus
