Retrieving and Setting Up a Gurobi License

Once your license is visible on the Current Page of the website, click on the License ID to view the License Detail page:

We strongly recommend that you place your client gurobi.lic file in a default location for your platform (either your home directory or c:\gurobi). Setting up a non-default location is error-prone and a frequent source of trouble.

Please consult the License Type field on the License Detail page to identify your license type, and click on the appropriate link below to proceed:

• Free Academic
• Named User
• Single-Machine
• Single-Use
• Floating
• Compute Server
• Instant Cloud

If your license includes the Distributed Add-On and you plan to use any of the Gurobi distributed algorithms, you'll also need to set up Gurobi Remote Services on your distributed worker machines.
