Re: [Condor-users] counting licenses

[Miron Livny <miron@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joshua,

Doing licenses "right" is a challenge. It also depends on your workload and 
how you are submitting jobs to the pool. How many jobs that request the 
license do you typically have and how many submission points (SchedDs) are 
you using?
