That's pretty wild - a kind of flexible "hybrid" license, that's a very thoughtful implementation.
However, it sounds like if we want to fully leverage every GPU on our cluster, and because we have the hardware config split into 6 VMs, we would need 6 licenses for GPU-accelerated sim work.
Since we are basically splitting GPUs into VMs, we could reformat to 3 machines, 2 cards each, and only require 3 licenses - something to think about, I guess.
