Unable to open license GUI for Lumerical

Discovery Cluster
1

Hello,

I am trying to open license GUI for Lumerical on discovery using a Windows computer. This is the error I get when I hit license-config command.

Any ideas how I should resolve this. I believe I’ve correctly enabled X11 forwarding using Xwi3n2 as I can see a pair of eyes using xeyes command.

Thanks,
Alok

Hi, not sure why it’s not working for you. I’m able to start license-config without issue. Luckily Lumerical has documentation on how to set up licensing without a GUI.

You will need to create a file at ~/.config/Lumerical/License.ini (create directories if needed) It should have these contents:

[license]
ansysserver\host=2687@hpc-licenses.hpcc.usc.edu
default=user
domain=1
flexserver\host=2687@hpc-licenses.hpcc.usc.edu

@csul It worked! Thanks!

UPDATE: Please use port 27000 by creating/updating ~/.config/Lumerical/License.ini with the following content:

[license]
ansysserver\host=27000@hpc-licenses.hpcc.usc.edu
default=user
domain=1
flexserver\host=27000@hpc-licenses.hpcc.usc.edu
