Client license file location

We recommend that you place your client gurobi.lic file in the default location for your platform:

  • Windows: c:\gurobi
  • Linux: /opt/gurobi
  • Mac: /Library/gurobi

You can store the license file in other locations. Read this section to learn more about using a non-default license file location,

Once your client license is in place, you can test the license. If you are unable to connect to the server, you'll need to make sure the server is installed and running. Please consult the instructions for setting up a token server or setting up a compute server for more information.
