Intel PSXE License Usage on a Cluster

Dennis_T_ · ‎10-13-2016

Hi,

we want to buy the Parallel Studio XE for Linux, but are not sure about the usage of a named license.

We would load the cluster suite as a module.

But I already found a thread where it says, that you can't use it as a server wide installation with multiple users at once.

Therefore we thought about a different usage:

1. Compile stuff with the user intel.

2. Use the compiled stuff with the user dennist

So, is it possible to compile stuff with one user and use it with eg. IMPI/OMPI as another user?

Furthermore, how does the named license actually work on a cluster? Do I have to choose a user while installing the suite so that only the specified user can use the suite? Or do I just have to type in a license/key?

I would really appreciate your help.

Best regards,

Dennis T.
