Registration and Serial Number

Register your copy of LabView through Labview’s own registration tool, using our serial number which is listed in:

(This key works across all of our versions of LabVIEW, and actually covers other NI packages, too.)

Lumerical

Step-by-step instructions on how to run Lumerical, including parallel FDTD jobs with MPI, are here.

The Lumerical licenses are FlexNet floating licenses, authenticated by username. When a new lab member needs to be able to access Lumerical for a particular lab’s license, they need to contact ENG-IT to be manually added to their group’s access list on the license server. Note that on whatever computer you are using to access Lumerical, you must be logging in on that computer with your Kerberos username, not any other username.

When setting up FlexNet licensing in your account, in the license server configuration menu (from the GUI or by manually running fdtd-config-license), choose server lumericallm.bu.edu and the default port. “Configure redundant servers” should not be checked.

To check the status of all license usage, ssh to enggrid.bu.edu and run lumerical-license-info

If you wish to use Lumerical and are affiliated with one of those labs, ask the lab PI to send an email to enghelp@bu.edu requesting that your Kerberos username be added for your lab group name. If you are not affiliated with Lumerical, email enghelp@bu.edu to request a quote for a license. In 2015, the group academic discount price was $1200 for one seat of the combined FDTD package (one design license and one engine).

Mathematica

  • BU Mathematica download page

  • BU Mathematica Renewal Keys

BU Offers installation media for Mathematica for download from the IS&T website for use by students, staff, and faculty. These require the user to request a license number and “password” (license key) from Wolfram directly. Both numbers will be unique to the particular copy in use. BU also has a site-license for Mathematica, with a shared license number and passwords. The license number is for all copies in use under this license, but the passwords vary by version and platform, and expire annually in late September. They must be updated regularly from IS&T’s Mathematica people (once each year in August/September). IS&T also provides free student licenses for download as well, separate from any of these. (Finally, Mathematica is already installed on the network for use in Linux.)

The install media we have is intended for use with the site-wide license for use in ENG labs and offices. Mathematica installations for other purposes should go through IS&T, getting media from them and license info from Wolfram itself. General Mathemetica support questions can go to mathematica@bu.edu . The license passwords are sent to those on mathematica-list each year, as well.

  • See here for current passcodes for the site-license.

Microsoft Windows

If you’re on campus you can use BU’s Key Management Services (KMS)

New Installation Product Keys

If you’re installing Windows from Media you can use these KMS Client Setup Keys, and your OS will activate via BU’s Key Management Service (KMS).

Deploying KMS Activation

TechNet: Deploying KMS Activation

Existing Installation

If Windows is already installed and needs activation, you can direct it to the Key Management Services as follows: Start a command prompt as Administrator (i.e. Start>Accessories>[right-click]Command Prompt, and select ‘Run As Administrator’).

BU has 2 KMS servers: ist-kms1.bu.edu and ist-kms2.bu.edu. If you are binding to the domain these aren’t needed. If isn’t bound you can add ad.bu.edu to the Domain Suffix (in the same menu where you bind just select the more, it will activate).

Historically, we’ve also used ist-881-kms.bu.edu.

At the prompt type:

If you’re activating Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB (or any other LTSB version):

Updating from Windows 10 Home to Pro

If you’ve received a computer with Windows 10 Home pre-installed, but need to add to the domain, you will need the Pro version.

Go to System- Change Product Key, and enter the Windows 10 Pro Default Key:

From here, run the activation scripts below to activate and deploy off of KMS.

If this does not allow you to upgrade from Home to Pro, you may have to reinstall the OS completely with a fresh Windows 10 Pro ISO, deleting and formatting all the preexisting partitions.

Riverbed

Riverbed Modeler (Formerly owned by Opnet) The license manager runs on OpnetLM.bu.edu (a CNAME for eng-license3.bu.edu) on port_a (UDP/IP port_a is. 2047, port_b is 2123, and port_c is 2345). It is a class-locked license, serving to anything on the 128.X.X.X Class A. Because it is class-locked, it must be run from a public 128-class IP, like eng-license3, and not a private 10-class IP, like the other eng-license servers.

The Windows installers are in:

For Linux the installers for Modeler, Models, and Docs are in:

In the instruction labs OPNET is located in /ad/eng/opt/opnet. Do not use the path /ad/eng/support/software/linux/all/all/. It’s deprecated.

You can add and update the licenses by running modeler and starting the license Manager — in the menu under License. If the licenses have expired modeler will prompt you. I (Jamie) have an account you can use to express install with — mucho más rápido. Our OPNET Group ID is 96415.

RSoft

Location: Installed in PHO701 & Altug lab

Contact: Professors Roberto Paiella and Hatice Altug

All of our RSoft licenses are associated with 6 license dongles, according to an audit in January 2012 and information confirmed by Carl Klinges < carl@rsoftdesign.com > at RSoft:

The 3-node cluster dongle was purchased by Hatice Altug to support her cluster which is no longer in use. Individuals within her lab have been using it on their local workstations. The other dongles are primarily for use in PHO701 and have 1 license apiece. 3 are for research, and two are marked “restricted” — for teaching use only. This is important whenever a researcher needs to call RSoft for technical assistance — use the research keys.

More info and the license files (associated to the dongles) are located in: engna2.bu.eduSupportsoftwarewindowsi386RSoft

Synopsys & Synplify

Synplify is now part of Synopsys and the license is served on SynopsysLM.bu.edu (port 27000).

SynopsysLM is a DNS alias for eng-license4.bu.edu.

Misc:

      • BU’s Synopsys User Notes

      • Synopsys’ Client Quick Setup instructions

Managing Synopsys

We are not allowed to logon to software28, and the license manager can’t run on license-srv4, so OIT set up a strange work around for controlling the license manager. You can start/stop/restart the license manager by creating a file synopsysLM.<action> in the /local directory on license-srv4.bu.edu. Every minute a cron script reads the dir an performs the corresponding action on software28.

for example to restart:

      • ssh to your account.
        • Note your account need to be added to license-srv4 and the machine your sshing from needs to be added to hosts.allow.
      • cd to /local
      • sudo touch synopsysLM.restart

If you don’t trust it’s restarted cleanly, you can also just stop it and then start it again:

      • sudo touch synopsysLM.stop
      • watch the log file and wait as long as you need to wait to be sure it’s shut down
      • sudo touch synopsysLM.start

There are log files in /var/log/

Synopsys_License_MGR is run from root’s cron on software28 and is what detects when you attempt a stop/start/restart of the license server by touching the appropriate file. After the command is run Synopsys_License_MGR should remove the touched file from “/local” on license-srv4.bu.edu

The Cadence license file is stored on license-srv4.bu.edu in

VASP

ECE purchased VASP 4.6 for educational use. It runs on Enrico Bellotti’s cluster.

Zemax

Separately, Photonics has a copy of Zemax that is updated each year for general use by all Photonics faculty, students and researchers. You must apply for access to PHO936, identify that you request to use Zemax and other software and then you can enter the computer room (PHO938) and use the computer with Zemax on it – logging in with your Kerberos account. Yvonne Cancino <icancino@bu.edu> can show you which computer, but there is a list next to each computer with what software is on it.

Anyone looking for general and steady upgraded Zemax should use the facility provided on the 9th floor.
