Known license requirements

For many applications, all license features needed to run its jobs are known before the start of the job.

  1. The job submission passes a license usage request to the Platform LSF cluster.

  2. LSF sends a query to License Scheduler to see if the license token can be given to the application.

  3. When License Scheduler grants permission, LSF gives authorization to the user application.

  4. The user application sends a request to FlexNet to check out a license.
