Gurobi Optimizer Delivers Flexible Licensing
Flexible Licensing
Deploy your model where and how you want. One user can solve a single model on one machine, or many users can solve multiple models using many machines. You can also solve models locally or on an internal or public cloud.
- Each license can be used for both development and deployment.
- Each license can run multiple applications.
- Licenses can be transferred from consulting developer to end user.
- License grows as chip capabilities grow.
-
Web License Service
Web License Service
With the Gurobi Web License Service (WLS), you can deploy Gurobi almost anywhere—across Amazon Web Services (ECS and EKS) and Microsoft Azure (AKS) clouds and container environments on Docker and Kubernetes. Compared to other licensing options, WLS provides unique advantages for some use cases because:
- It does not require the installation of any licensing tools on the client.
- It is scalable and available out of the box using multiple worldwide servers.
- It is dynamic and does not require you to register the container hosts.
Ready. Set. Solve.
With Gurobi, the world's leading organizations make fast, confident, unbiased decisions every day—even amid rapid change and global disruption.

Meet Your Powerhouse Solver
What makes a solver “robust”? Its numerical stability, the correctness of results, scalability with problem size and difficulty, and solve times over a range of model instances. But you can just call it, “Gurobi.”
-
Gurobi Optimizer Delivers Non-Linear Solving
Nonlinear Solving
Nonlinear solving can help us find solutions to equations or systems of equations that involve nonlinear relationships between variables.
In mathematics, common examples of nonlinear expressions include equations with variables that are raised to powers greater than one, or that involve trigonometric functions, exponentials, logarithms, or other nonlinear operations.
-
Gurobi Optimizer Delivers Parallel Optimization
Parallel Optimization
We designed our code to fully exploit parallelism. It’s not a sequential code that was parallelized, but a fundamentally parallel code that you can also choose to run sequentially.
