Project mode

Known license requirements

Project mode supports known license requirements specified in the rusage section of job submissions. By default, each license feature is reserved for the full length of the job.

Optionally, use the Feature section parameter DYNAMIC=Y to enable the use of duration in the rusage string, and release license features after a specified duration.

Unknown license requirements

Unknown license requirements not in the rusage string are counted as jobs not managed by LSF, and license distribution policies are not applied by default.

Optionally, license requirements not included in the rusage string can be tracked as part of the managed workload in project mode, as long as there is at least one license feature specified in the job’s rusage string. Set the parameter ENABLE_DYNAMIC_RUSAGE=Y in the Feature section to apply project distribution policies even when license rusage is not specified.
