Retrieving a license
To retrieve a Gurobi named-user academic license, please refer to the quick start guide. This type of license is designed for a single person, on a single machine.
You must be connected to an academic domain to request a new named-user academic license, otherwise, an Academic Domain Error will be issued. In the case of UFPB, a workaround to this issue can be found on how to access academic portals from outside UFPB’s network domain.
Setting up a license
Assuming the license has been downloaded to the home directory, i.e., home/<user>.
1. Rename the license file.
$ mv gurobi.lic $HOSTNAME
2. Add the following line to the .bashrc file.
export GRB_LICENSE_FILE="/home/<user>/$HOSTNAME"
These steps are especially important for users with a home folder shared among multiple machines. For example, assume the user log has a home directory shared between machines q1 and q2, and each machine has a Gurobi installation (see shared installation). In such case, downloading and exporting the GRB_LICENSE_FILE as in the aforementioned steps, for both machines, lets Gurobi select the corresponding license file according to the machine you are logged in.
Do not forget to source the modified .bashrc file, or reboot the machine, for changes to take effect.
$ source .bashrc
