Client machine requirements

Server-based client configuration

• is necessary for the machines running Schrödinger software (the "client machines")

client machines may be on an office network, connected from home, or be part of a cluster
if you are using Schrödinger software on the license server, see Using Schrödinger software on the FlexNet License Server

• you do NOT install the server entitlement file on the client machine - you install the server identifier file

• requires a TLS hostname of the license server and the port number

Communication requirements:

client machines need to have at least one of the TLS hostnames and the server port from your license server administrator

connections should not be blocked by firewalls on either the clients or the server itself

connections must be allowed by any network security layers (e.g., VPNs)

NOTE: If you currently have FlexNet-based Schrödinger licenses and will be switching to Schrödinger License Manager licenses, you must adjust your firewalls / network security to allow access to the new Schrödinger License Manager process with the new port and/or server information (with Schrödinger License Manager either the port or the server machine must be different so as not to conflict with the FlexNet licensing).
