Schrödinger License Manager Instructions

 

Schrödinger is pleased to announce the launch of Schrödinger License Manager, our new licensing infrastructure which will be rolled out to replace the existing FlexNet package over 2024. Our goal in transitioning to a new licensing infrastructure is to empower our users to focus on scientific pursuits rather than the intricacies of licensing. We strive to enhance transparency and simplify the underlying mechanism to the benefit of both your IT teams and end users.

 

The 2024-4 Schrödinger software release uses Schrödinger License Manager by default.

Transitioning from FlexNet licensing to Schrödinger License Manager.

 

If you prefer to continue using FlexNet licensing with the 2024-4 release, see FlexNet License Instructions for 2024-4. Please note that FlexNet licenses will NOT WORK in Schrödinger software as of the 2025-1 release. We encourage customers to transition to Schrödinger License Manager at their earliest convenience to ensure a seamless experience.

 

 

Server-based License Server Set-up

Server entitlements are installed on one machine (the “license server”) and are checked out by the machines running the software (the “client machines”).

Server-entitlements must be installed on the machine that will act as the “license server” NOT on the machines that are using the software (the “client machines”).

 

 

Server-based Client Machine Set-up

Machines running Schrödinger software must be configured to connect to the license server by installing a server identifier file.

 

 

Machine-locked Licensing Instructions

 

Machine-locked licenses are typically for evaluations of Schrödinger software and are used by one machine.
