[Moabusers] software license management

Hey all,

In the Moab documentation (section 13.7), it talks about setting up
resource managers to monitor license managers, etc.  We've gotten that
set up, and 'mdiag -n' has output like this:

> NODE[GLOBAL] Config Res     fluent: 8  fluent-nox: 8  fluent-par: 24  fluent-post: 4  fluentall: 8  gambit: 8  geom-trans: 8
> NODE[GLOBAL] Dedicated Res  ---
> NODE[GLOBAL] Available Res  fluent: 8  fluent-nox: 8  fluent-par: 23  fluent-post: 4  fluentall: 7  gambit: 8  geom-trans: 8


So, it looks it's being monitored correctly.  However, when it describes
how to request the resources (see
http://www.clusterresources.com/products/mwm/docs/13.7licensemanagement.shtml#requesting),
it only shows how to request one type of license.  So, for example, what
syntax do I pass to torque's qsub when I want to reserve 1 fluent
license, and 10 fluent-par licenses?  I'm guessing it'd be something
like this:

> qsub -l nodes=10:ppn=2,software=fluent:1,fluent-par:10 cmdscript.txt

Can someone verify this syntax, or if I'm wrong, tell me what it should be?

Thanks,

Lloyd Brown
