Hi All,

We just built our first HPC and I have what seems like a rather dumb question 
regarding best practices and compute nodes. Our HPC setup is currently small, 
we have a HeadNode which runs MOAB/Torque and we have 4 compute nodes connected 
with IB. The compute nodes are on their own private network. My question is, 
what is the best way to handle software that requires licenses to run on the 
compute nodes? For instance we are trying to get STARCCM+ up and running on the 
cluster, the license server is on our general user network, the headnode is 
also on the user network, but when we submit a job to torque for STARCCM it 
keeps throwing errors that the software cannot connect to the license server. 
Is it best practice to create a network path from the compute nodes out to the 
license server through the HeadNode? I feel like I'm missing something really 
simple here.

Thanks!
