Commercial software

Commercial software is installed in a separate module tree and is hidden from the default module list until that tree is loaded. On Trillium or Balam, the commercial module tree is available without loading CCEnv:

module use /opt/software/commercial/modules
module spider PACKAGE

Individual packages may still need modules from the Alliance stack; for example, VASP on Balam loads CCEnv before its prerequisite modules. Follow the package page.

In most cases you must supply your own license. For license-server access from a compute node, see SSH Tunnelling.

Package-specific instructions are maintained on the Alliance documentation:

• Ansys
• COMSOL
• Gurobi
• STAR-CCM+
• VASP

See Available software for the current module list.

Note that other commercial software is also available through the Alliance (formerly Compute Canada) software stack.
