Back to Hoffman2 Scripts

Use Cases

  • You need to run a MATLAB script and want to check that there are sufficient licenses. If not, you are grabbing a coffee or going for a run until they free up.
  • You tried running a MATLAB script and found that you couldn't check out sufficient licenses to do your work. Now you want to see if the users taking up precious licenses are part of your group so you can ask/yell for them to release the license and step away from the computer for a bit.



A bit about licenses

Every time you run the MATLAB program, you need a MATLAB license. If you also make use of the utilities in a specific toolbox, say some statistical plotting commands line boxplot from the Statistics Toolbox, you need a license for that specific toolbox in addition to the one just for MATLAB.

If you were trying to run multiple MATLAB instances at once and each used a specific toolbox, you can see how the number of licenses you'd need could get out of hand.

Compiled MATLAB only needs the requisite licenses to create the compiled code. After that it can run without taking up a license making compiled code very attractive for massively parallel processing.


Help/Usage

    matlab_license_check.sh
    2013.06.17

    Wrapper script for the command
        /u/local/licenses/lic_manager.sh users matlab
    which is used to check on the status of MATLAB licenses on Hoffman2. The
    output is slightly modified and managed to make it more readable for users.


    USAGE:
      $ matlab_license_check.sh [-h --help -r -f]


    ARGUMENTS:
      With no argument, a simple digest version is displayed listing the
      number of used and avaiable licenses of each MATLAB tool.

      Optional arguments:
        -h, --help  Show this usage message
        -r          Show the digest version plus reservation information,
                    because reserved licenses are counted as in-use, so even if
                    it says all licenses are used, it is important to check to
                    see if there are any reserved licenses that you are able to
                    make use of.
        -f          Show the full output, including details about which users
                    are using licenses and on which nodes


Example Output

Digest

$ matlab_license_check.sh
20130409T144846-0700

Symbolic_Toolbox
---- (Total of 1 license issued;  Total of 0 licenses in use)

This shows that all MATLAB licenses are either in use or reserved, so it is unclear if I have one available to checkout. It also shows that things like SIMULINK and Symbolic Toolbox are not in use by anyone right now but things like the Wavelet and Bioinformatics Toolboxes are in use or reserved.

This shows that there are still five (5) licenses reserved for cohenlab (mscohen) and fmrigroup (sbook), despite all other licenses being used. The Wavelet and Bioinformatics Toolboxes are all in use because they are all reserved by specific groups, but SIMULINK and the Symbolic Toolbox are not used and don't have any reservations on them.
