The CNM holds 2 GUI licenses (for running CAD), each with accompanying FDTD licenses, and 10 additional engine licenses.

  1. X11 forwarding.
  2. License port forwarding.

  • Disadvantage: May run slow or unstable.

  • Advantage: Native graphics speed.
  • Caveat: needs an active network connection to a Carbon login node.
