AKMC License

[AsifShah]

I was running adaptive kinetic monte carlo (AKMC) on 80 cores using the following command:
mpiexec.hydra -n 80 atkpython akmc_test.py > akmc_test.log
however i get this error, though we already have more than 80 licenses of ATK.

License Error: Unable to obtain a required license for the
requested license feature. It could mean there are no valid
licenses left, a problem with the connection to the license
server, or the license file does not contain the requested feature.
See below for more details.

Licensed number of users already reached.

FlexNet Licensing error:-4,234



Kindly help resolve it. Also, are there separate licenses required to use AKMC module.


Also, is there a way to add external potential energy contributions in CINEB/NEB calculations? I am interested in observing how the migration barrier is affected by some external potential energy/ applied field? If it is possible how to do it?

Please use SolvnetPlus for license-related issues. As an answer to your general question, no, there is not a specific license required for the AKMC module.

You can monitor the license server while it's running to see how many licenses are in use. Maybe someone else is running a lot of calculations at the same time, or licenses sometimes get stuck for up to 5 minutes if a calculation crashes.
