-Because the cluster compute nodes do not have direct access to the internet, it is necessary to use ssh-tunneling through another node to contact the user's license server, which will need to have the license manager and vendor daemon ports open.  Tunneling is done via a separate node, either chpclic1 or dtn (NOTE: Ask CHPC staff for assistance, things have become more complicated as of July 2026_. Please apply to  [[http://users.chpc.ac.za/helpdesk|CHPC Support]] in order to supply the public IP address and port numbers of your license server so that the CHPC firewall can be configured to allow the necessary traffic.  You will need to take similar firewall configuration measures at your end.  Also please add the lines at the end of the script top kill your ssh-tunnels on completion of the job. +Because the cluster compute nodes do not have direct access to the internet, it is necessary to use ssh-tunneling through another node to contact the user's license server, which will need to have the license manager and vendor daemon ports open.  Tunneling is done via a separate node, either chpclic1 or dtn (NOTE: Ask CHPC staff for assistance, things have become more complicated as of July 2026.

 For the majority of users simply checking out PoD licenses from the international STAR-CCM+ license servers, it is easiest to use the CHPC's permanent tunnels on chpclic1.  As per the examples  scripts given below, you can simply set the license variable to point to ''1999@chpclic1''. For the majority of users simply checking out PoD licenses from the international STAR-CCM+ license servers, it is easiest to use the CHPC's permanent tunnels on chpclic1.  As per the examples  scripts given below, you can simply set the license variable to point to ''1999@chpclic1''.
