[slurm-users] slurm jobs and and amount of licenses (matlab)

[Josef Dvoracek]

hello @list!

anyone who was dealing with following scenario?

* we have limited amount of Matlab network licenses ( and various 
features have various amount of available seats, eg. machine learning: N 
licenses, Image_Toolbox: M licenses)
* licenses are being used by slurm jobs and by individual users directly 
at their workstations (workstations are not under my control)

Sometimes it happens, that licenses for certain feature, used in 
particular slurm job is already fully consumed, and job fails.

Is there any straightforward trick how to deal with that? Other than 
buying dedicated pool of licenses for our slurm-based data processing 
facility?

EG. let slurm job wait, until there is required license available?

cheers
