Comsol on Caviness

# # You MUST set ABABUSLM_LICENSE_FILE in your environment to point # to your Abaqus license server. Workgroups can create the file # # ${WORKDIR}/sw/abaqus/license-server # # containing the FLEXlm license path they use for Abaqus, and # this package will set ABAQUSLM_LICENSE_FILE to the contents of # that file. #

Both packages have a scripted component to their VALET actions. If checks for the file mentioned above and sets the appropriate license environment variable to that file's content. So e.g. for the Vlachos group's use of Comsol, all I had to create was

$ cat /work/ccei_biomass/sw/comsol/license-server ####@comsol-vlachos.che.udel.edu

The file is locked-down to their workgroup only, users aren't propagating a bunch of stuff to their login files, and there's no need to have each workgroup define their own VALET package for the product.

This should probably get added to the Caviness docs for these products. We may reuse this scheme in other commercial products, as well.
