APPLICATION LIBRARY & LICENSE MANAGEMENT
End-to-End Software Management for HPC and AI
Rescale’s application and license management tools streamline the complexities of HPC environments, empowering global application managers, HPC architects, and IT teams to efficiently deliver the software R&D teams need. By automating software deployment, simplifying license administration, and providing robust controls, Rescale eliminates IT bottlenecks and accelerates engineering innovation.
Application Licensing Challenges
License Availability
Simulation setup, scheduling and job runs are time-consuming, and software license availability is a major cause of delays.
Deployment Wait Times
Administrator managed software deployments prevent engineers from accessing the software they need, when they need them.
Software and Hardware Misalignment
Selection of optimal hardware and software configurations is time consuming and error prone, causing decreased performance and increased spend.
Smarter Applications. Bigger Impact.
Expand Availability
Provide engineers with on-demand access to a comprehensive catalog of 1,200+ pre-installed engineering and AI applications.
Simplify Publishing
Empower engineers to self-publish commercial and in-house developed software, providing unprecedented agility.
Optimize Configurations
Automate selection of optimal hardware and software configurations to ensure every application is performant and cost-effectively.

Fewer Headaches. Better Results.
Leading organizations use Rescale to eliminate application management headaches and accelerate digital engineering.

ON-DEMAND SOFTWARE DEPLOYMENT & VERSIONING
Your HPC Software & Versions, Ready to
Run Today
Rescale provides on-demand access to a comprehensive catalog of 1,200+ pre-installed HPC and AI applications. This includes both the latest releases and older versions, ensuring consistency and reproducibility across teams. Rescale simplifies the onboarding of new software versions, so engineers always have access to the cutting-edge tools they need. IT administrators can also define policies to manage software versions, ensuring standardization and compliance.


LICENSE HOSTING & LICENSE PROXY MANAGEMENT
Connect or Host Your Licenses, Your Way
Rescale gives IT teams two flexible paths to license administration. License Proxy bridges your existing on-premises license server to the cloud through IP forwarding or an encrypted SSH tunnel, so jobs can check out licenses without ever moving them off-site. License Hosting lets you securely self-host your license files directly on the Rescale platform, with no on-premises server required. Both options support FlexLM, RLM, and LSTC license types, so IT teams can match whichever model fits their existing environment.
LICENSE QUEUING & OPTIMIZATION
Never Lose a Job to a Missing License
Rescale’s license queuing holds a job in a pending state until the license features and token counts it needs are confirmed available, preventing wasted compute spend on jobs that would otherwise fail from a license shortage. Define AND/OR conditions across multiple license features for precise control, and set license caps to manage how many tokens Rescale jobs can check out at once. License queuing works across both License Proxy and License Hosting configurations, maximizing utilization on license servers.


CUSTOM SOFTWARE PUBLISHING
Full Control to Publish and Scale New Methods
Rescale Software Publisher empowers users to self-publish both commercial and in-house developed software, providing unprecedented agility. This feature eliminates the wait times associated with traditional software deployments, allowing organizations to quickly provide engineers with the tools they need. The self-service publishing workflow is designed to be intuitive, minimizing the need for specialized cloud or IT skills.
HPC APPLICATION OPTIMIZATION
Peak Application Performance, Continuously Upgraded
Rescale provides the tools and flexibility to optimize HPC applications for peak performance by automating the selection of optimal hardware and software configurations.
