The WLS (Web License Service) allows you to run Gurobi Optimizer wherever you want, across regular machines or container environments (Docker, Kubernetes...). This portable license can be used seamlessly across multiple platforms, including those outside an academic network.
A WLS license is a perfect option for running Gurobi on the cloud. For more information, see What are the options for using an academic license on the cloud?
