Reply To: Running Lumerical FDTD files on a Campus cluster using Sun Grid Engine (SGE)

If you are able to run Lumerical simulations on your local desktop (university computer), check the Lumerical license configuration on the local machine, from which server and port it is obtaining the licenses from. And use the same license configuration on the cluster. See the following KB for details:

• Lumerical license configuration with the Ansys Optics Launcher (GUI) – Ansys Optics  
• Lumerical license configuration from the command line (headless Linux systems/without GUI) – Ansys Optics 

Otherwise, consult with your IT/admins that the cluster/nodes are allowed to connect/communicate on the ports used by the Ansys license manager on your license server.
