Schrodinger license check in issue

Schrödinger is an application that uses a FlexNet license server. To run a job, the application needs to check out licenses from the server and check it back in once the job is completed. However, we've identified an issue where licenses are not properly checked back in occasionally.

This problem is due to communication issues between the license server and the compute nodes. A remedy suggestion is posted by the vendor [1], but it hasn't been effective for our clusters. We are actively working to resolve this issue.

The Starccm software license at OSC will be terminated on Sunday Feb 21, 2021 at 12 am. It makes the starccm software unavailable until it is renewed. OSC is actively working on getting the license available as soon as possible. It is unknown whether this will affect current running jobs using starccm software. Queued and new jobs requesting Starccm will be held till the license is renewed.
