Using Academic Named-User licenses for use in a computer lab, on a campus network, or with a HPC cluster is not recommended as a separate license is required for each user on each computer, and each license file must be set up individauly.
Gurobi offers two other types of licenses that are better suited for these situations.
Academic WLS License
A WLS (Web License Service) license 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. Each user should generate a WLS license for their own use.
Educational Institution Site License
Gurobi also offers a multi-user Educational Institution Site license that provides a central license token server; this eliminates the need to request and set up a license file for each user on each computer.
This type of license must be managed by a system administrator. To request this license, please ask the system administrator to submit a support request in our Help Center.
