Some possible errors
If the Gurobi shell didn't produce the desired output, there's a problem with your license. We'll list a few common errors here.
No license found
The message
ERROR: No Gurobi license found (user smith, host mymachine, hostid 9d3128ce)
indicates that your gurobi.lic file couldn't be found.
Do you have the appropriate permissions to read the file? Missing read permissions for the file or the directory is a common problem, particularly if someone else performed the installation.
Did you use a non-default license file location? See Where do I place the Gurobi license file (gurobi.lic)? for further information.
HostID mismatch
The message:
ERROR: HostID mismatch (licensed to 9d3128ce, hostid is 7de025e9)
indicates that your gurobi.lic isn't valid for this machine. You should make sure that you are using the right gurobi.lic file.
Token server issues
If you are running as a client of a Gurobi token server, the message:
ERROR: Failed to connect to token server 'myserver' (port 41954)
indicates that the token server isn't currently running. The message:
ERROR: No TOKENSERVER specified for TOKEN license
indicates that your license file is missing the TOKENSERVER= line that provides the name of your token server. Please consult How do I start a token server?
Compute server issues
If you are running as a client of a Gurobi Compute Server, the message:
ERROR: Failed to connect to 'myserver' port 80
indicates that the Compute Server isn't currently running. Please consult How do I set up and use a Compute Server license?
