How to Obtain and Install a Gurobi License
The Gurobi Optimizer requires a license to run. We support several different license types. Your first step in setting up your license is to figure out what type you need (or perhaps already have).
If you are looking to use a free trial or academic license, you can create one yourself on our website.
If you have purchased a license from us, that license should be
visible through the
Current
tab of the Licenses page of our website.
If you see it there, your next step is to
retrieve the license key.
Otherwise, contact us at license@gurobi.com
.
If you are planning to use Gurobi as a client of a machine that is already set up as a Gurobi token server or compute server, you can create a client license yourself.
If you need to set up a Gurobi token server or Gurobi compute server, your first step is to retrieve your license key. Once you have done that, then you should consult the instructions for setting up a token server or for setting up a compute server, as appropriate.
If you already have a license key (stored in a gurobi.lic
file), you can proceed to
testing the license.
