Acrobat Pro

We support 2 options. You can purchase Acrobat Pro through BU Departmental sales for $80.

ENGIT has the media if you don’t want to purchase your own disks. Just arrange a time with us to install the software.

For administrative offices and faculty, we offer Acrobat Pro on our Citrix server. These are shared licenses, and users must be added to the ENG-Citrix-Adobe-Users group to access Acrobat Pro. At this time we can’t provide Acrobat Pro for others, such as research labs. You can install the Citrix client for free.

Other Adobe products can also be purchased via BU Departmental sales.

Lumerical

Step-by-step instructions on how to run Lumerical, including parallel FDTD jobs with MPI, are here.

The Lumerical licenses are FlexNet floating licenses, authenticated by username. When a new lab member needs to be able to access Lumerical for a particular lab’s license, they need to contact ENG-IT to be manually added to their group’s access list on the license server. Note that on whatever computer you are using to access Lumerical, you must be logging in on that computer with your Kerberos username, not any other username.

When setting up FlexNet licensing in your account, in the license server configuration menu (from the GUI or by manually running fdtd-config-license), choose server lumericallm.bu.edu and the default port. “Configure redundant servers” should not be checked.

To check the status of all license usage, ssh to enggrid.bu.edu and run lumerical-license-info
