COMSOL comes without command line options that alter the license. This is inconvenient, since it would require us to do one setup for students and one for staff.
But in the script
, the license file location gets set like this:
comsolroot
/bin/comsol
setlicfile () { FEMLAB_LICENSE_FILE=${FLROOT}/license/license.dat export FEMLAB_LICENSE_FILE LMCOMSOL_LICENSE_FILE=${FLROOT}/license/license.dat export LMCOMSOL_LICENSE_FILE }
We alter it to:
setlicfile () { FEMLAB_LICENSE_FILE=${FLROOT}/license/license.dat if echo ${USER} | grep -q ^s ; then FEMLAB_LICENSE_FILE=${FLROOT}/license/license.std.dat fi export FEMLAB_LICENSE_FILE LMCOMSOL_LICENSE_FILE=${FLROOT}/license/license.dat if echo ${USER} | grep -q ^s ; then LMCOMSOL_LICENSE_FILE=${FLROOT}/license/license.std.dat fi export LMCOMSOL_LICENSE_FILE }
Now the students' license is used if somebody with a username starting with an 's' starts the program.
