Facts about Platform LSF License Scheduler:
- Fairshare of resources allows you to assign a fixed number of application software licenses to each user or group to ensure optimum access for all. Administrators can configure and define project or user-based fairshare policies
- Right-share of licenses ensures that high priority jobs are always guaranteed access to the appropriate licenses by setting policies to allow for non-equal sharing of resources
- Job failure reduction eliminates costly “No license available” job failures by intelligently allocating and tracking software license resources throughout the extended enterprise
- Enforce license allocation and availability for high priority jobs by reserving licenses for high priority jobs and automating the job preemption process. As a result, high priority jobs are guaranteed licenses when needed
