Download the software

The software can be downloaded after logging in to 

https://www.gurobi.com/account/

The credentials can found the KeePass Database.

In the download section, select the Gurobi Optimizer and download the latest stable Linux release.

License

If the license has expired, you can follow these instructions to open a ticket. The license ID is 118477. Usually, the license is renewed within one day. You can check the progress in the support section of the website (if Stefan is not available to forward his e-mail).

Installation

Installation is simple, as there is an Easybuild eb-file (along with some easyblock, I think). Worked like a charm last time I tried (for version 9.1.2). I used the SYSTEM-toolchain version, another version exists with GCCcore which adds Python as dependency (to replace the Python included in Gurobi). In the eb-file, the location of the license file has to be edited to 

/cm/shared/uniol/licenses/Gurobi/gurobi.lic

This file contains the address and port of the token server as: 

TOKENSERVER=gurobi.license.uni-oldenburg.de
PORT=27001
