Thanks Robert, though I was speaking about NAMD, not VASP :)
Do you enforce license validation for NAMD ?
VASP is pretty clear-cut, but NAMD seems a bit more fuzzy.

We do the same thing by making the package in a particular group. We

I hope this helps too!

Hi Maxime,
At JSC we install NAMD in a directory that belongs to the namd
group. Access to others is not allowed. To add users to that group
they have to send us proof that they acquired a license. I believe
there is also an arrangement to communicate with the NAMD
developers which users have access to the software, even though I
might recall wrong and that might be for another software.
I hope that helps!

Hi all,
I would like to know how various sites handle NAMD licensing. The
license seem to imply that each user has to have the license
(similar to
VASP). However, I could find many sites who do this check,
while others
don't.
Do you do it at your site ?
