Problem while using Academic license with multiple user on a single machine
Answered
Hello
I installed gurobi with an academic licence on my research team compute machine that is under ubuntu.
I would like that other users of the team may test gurobi on this machine too. Thus I installed Gurobi on a shared directory as recommended at /opt/gurobi912
It works well when I execute gurobi_cl from my user account
But if I try to launch it when logged with a another account on this machine ((for example, an account named "user.test") i have a license error :
Error 10009: User name mismatch (licensed to 'josquin ', current user is 'user.test')
I thought the licence depended only from the machine name and not from the user name .
Did I make a mistake in the configuration, or do I have the wrong licence for this kind of use ?
Thanks

Hi, I have a similar configuration, I want to associate only one academic license to more than one user to avoid them doing the process again and again but I am getting the same error. I do not know if this is not possible or if I am also doing something wrong. Thank you so much for the help!

Hi!
Free individual academic licenses are bound to a machine and to a specific user. You cannot trade this license between users on the same machine.
There are other license options available that are more suitable for such a use case (for example a free academic site license) - please open a ticket in our Support Portal and pass the relevant information in the ticket form.
Thanks,
