Location of `remote.lic` in 2026.6

Coreform Cubit
#1

Coreform Cubit Version: 2026.6
Platform: Linux; Ubuntu 22.04

Issue
I’ve installed Coreform Cubit 2026.6 on a Linux machine and I’m currently trying to figure out where the remote.lic file needs to be located in this new version.

We self-host an RLM server on which our floating license is located. In previous versions of Cubit (e.g., 2025.8 and 2025.12), we had the details related to the license server located under

/some/path/Coreform-Cubit-2025.12/bin/licenses/remote.lic

where the contents of the file looked something like

HOST 000.00.000.00 ANY 0000
ISV csimsoft

(But obviously replacing the IP address and port number with the ones relevant for our remote.)

I’ve tried doing the same for 2026.6, but Cubit can’t seem to find the license file. For example, if I run

/some/path/Coreform-Cubit-2026.6/coreform_cubit -nogui

I get the following error:

RLM session initialized
WARNING: No RLM logins were valid: -1
No credentials file on disk
No login credentials
RLM hostid: ...
ERROR: License Error: No license found
To activate Coreform Cubit for the first time, contact sales@coreform.com with your hostid: ...
Coreform Cubit will quit.

(Note that I’ve stripped the hostids from the above message.)

Where is the correct place to place the remote.lic file in 2026.6?

Hi @pmarty,
on linux the licenses should be stored at

/home/username/.config/Coreform/licenses

Coreform Cubit Version : 2026.6
Platform : Linux - Fedora

I have, what I believe to be, a related question.

  • Cubit launches well, finds the license no issues.
  • But when I attempt to run Sculpt (from within the GUI) an error - " Licensing error: No credentials on disk." from each processor.
  • I have checked and remote.lic is located in ~/.config/Coreform/licenses and contains the appropriate enteries:
    HOST <server_IP> ANY <port#>
    ISV csimsoft
  • I have tried to define an environment variable
    setenv RLM_LICENSE ‘<port#>@<server_IP>’

Any other suggestions?

Thanks so much @Norbert_Hofbauer! That works perfectly now :smile:

Hey @Bob_Avery,

Something maybe worth checking is whether there’s a sculpt license attached to your Cubit one. I had an issue a few years ago once where my license had permissions to use Cubit, but not to use sculpt.

I assume from this thread that you’re using a self-hosted RLM server, so you can check whether you have permissions to use sculpt by doing the following:

  1. Establish an SSH tunnel to the machine that’s hosting the license server using:
ssh -N -L 5054:localhost:5054 name_of_remote
  1. Open localhost:5054 in your browser of choice.
  2. In the home page, there should be a table with the header ISV Servers. Under the Server Status column, press the csimsoft button.
  3. There should be a table with the header License pool status with a list of products that your license has access to. Make sure that trelis_sculpt is listed here.

Cheers,
Pat

Hi Pat,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, a self-served RLM (on a different Linux machine). The Sculpt license is available - the Windoze client works flawlessly. Checking the license file (good thru 2027), the “trelis_sculpt” line is present.

Hi @Bob_Avery,

Ah darn, I’m also not sure then, sorry! Might be worth opening a separate thread to try and figure that one out with the people from support.

Cheers,

Is sculpt working when you run it directly and not inside from the gui?

Can you post the full error message that you get in cubit?
