CLC Main Workbench CLC bio - CLC Main Workbench on Mac OS X free last get CLC Genomics Workbench 9.5.2 CLC software. 6.6.2 includes all features and functions of CLC DNA Workbench. Conversion english text into hindi. CLC Genomics Workbench is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux platforms. It includes a number of features within the fields of genomics, transcriptomics and epigenomics, and additionally it includes all the tools of CLC Main Workbench.
When purchasing software like CLC Workbenches, commercial Workbench plugins for the CLC Assembly Cell, two types of licenses, static licenses and network licenses, are available.
CLC Server analysis products use static licenses for single servers, for master server+CLC job nodes and for the master server in a grid node setup. Grid workers are licensed using network licenses.
The two license types are explained with reference to CLC Workbenches on our website at:
Key points about these license types are also found below.
Static licenses
Limitations: Static licenses for CLC Workbenches and the CLC Assembly Cell can be used on machines with 64 or fewer cores. For use on machines with a larger number of cores, you will need a network license.
Network licenses
If a CLC software licenses is covered by our Maintenance, Update and Support (MUS) program, we can support you in moving the license to a new machine.
To learn if your license is covered by MUS, please refer to the article How can I find out about my licenses?
CLC software licenses are specific to the machine they are downloaded to. A given machine is identified by its host ID, which is generated from the MAC address.
Before you can start using your CLC software on a machine with a different MAC address, we have to take steps at our end to release the license from its connection with the older host ID. Once we do this, your license order ID can be used to download a license to the system with the new host ID.
If you need to move your CLC software license to a new machine, please use the online request form:
If you wish to transfer your CLC data as well there is useful information in the Related Page 'Where is my CLC Workbench data'?
Re-installing to the same hardware as before? If you are re-installing your Workbench, Genomics Server or CLC License Server to the same hardware it was previously installed on, then you you should be able to download a license to the newly installed software directly.
CLC bio software licenses are files that are usually downloaded using a license order ID, which you receive from us when you purchase your software.
Some tips on how to find out what license order ID you used to download a license for a particular piece of CLC bio software depends on the software.
Under some circumstances, you may wish to change the owner of your CLC licenses. To do this, please ask the current owner to email [email protected] and specify what licenses are involved and who the new owner should be.
When it is not possible for the current license holder to contact us, then please email [email protected], telling us the license order IDs involved. Please also let us know that the owner cannot contact us directly. We may need to ask you a few questions to ensure that the licenses are being transferred appropriately, so the fastest route is generally to ask the current owner to get in touch directly if that is possible.
The location of a license file for your CLC software depends on the what software you are running and what type of license you have. General information is provided here, but if the information here does not match your setup, please refer to the manual for your specific product.
For static software licenses, look in the folder called licenses within the installation area of your CLC software, for example:
(On Windows)
C:Program FilesCLC Genomics Workbench 12licenses
(On Linux)
/opt/CLC Genomics Workbench 12/licenses/
(On Mac)
/Applications/CLC Genomics Workbench 12/licenses/
For network licenses, look in the folder called licenses within the installation area of your CLC License Server software.
All the CLC software manuals are listed on this page:
If you wish to find out what licenses you hold, you can do this yourself by logging into myCLC.
If you do not already have access to myCLC, please email [email protected] to request access.
You can find information about the license being used for the copy of a CLC Workbench you are running by going to the menu item in the Workbench:
Help | License Manager
The License Order ID for the license you are working with will appear under the License Information tab after you select the row representing your Workbench license.
For a detailed description of all licenses available to you, you may click on the button labelled Export License Information in the License Information tab.
In that file, you will see information associated with the license you are using, and if you are using a static license, you will see enough of your license order ID for it to be identified uniquely among the full order IDs given via your myCLC account or in emails you have received from us in the past.
You install your the desktop license via the Workbench License Manager:

General description
A network license is installed to the CLC License Server software. Client software such as CLC Workbenches then connect to the CLC License Server to check out a network license for use.
The CLC License Server 4.0 manual contains installation and configuration information:

html: http://resources.qiagenbioinformatics.com/manuals/clclicenseserver/current/index.php?manual=Introduction.html
System requirements for CLC License Server 4.0.
Getting and using network licenses
To make use of network licenses:
1) Install the CLC License Server if it is not already in place.
The CLC License Server must be installed onto a system that is contactable by the machines running the client software (e.g. a CLC Workbench). Normally the license server would be installed on a machine that is not turned off frequently and it would be run as a service.
2) Download the network license fileinto the licenses folder of the CLC License Server. When downloading your license, you will be asked for a License Order ID. Please copy this from your email from our licensing department or from your myCLC account.
3) Start (or restart) the CLC License Server after the new license file is added.
4) Configure client software (e.g. CLC Workbenches) to connect to the CLC License Server if this has not already been done.
Once configured, client software can request licenses from the CLC License Server. If licenses are available, they are then checked out for use.

The CLC License Server manual contains information on configuring CLC Workbenches to use a network license, as well as details about when network licenses are checked out and returned: http://resources.qiagenbioinformatics.com/manuals/clclicenseserver/current/index.php?manual=Configuring_Workbenches_use_network_licenses.html
Client software manuals also contain information on how to connect to the CLC License Server. E.g.
In standard installations, the Workbench must be run as an administrative user to configure license information.
Downloading network licenses is covered in the CLC License Server manual:

The FAQ entry What do I do with a network license? may also be of interest, as it outlines information useful when getting started with network licenses, and provides links to information about installing the CLC License Server and configuring client software (e.g. Workbenches).
CLC licenses are specific to a particular machine. In the case of network licenses, which are served by the CLC License Server software, the license file(s) you need will be specific to the machine the License Server software is running on. If the machine the CLC License Server is running on does not have a direct connection to the external network, then you can download a license for that machine by following the steps outlined in the CLC License Server manual here:
When you upgrade between major versions of CLC software, you need to download a new license file.
For upgrading network licenses, details are provided in our CLC License Servers software manual:
Linux:
http://resources.qiagenbioinformatics.com/manuals/clclicenseserver/current/index.php?manual=Downloading_license_files_Linux.html
Mac OS X:

Windows:
http://resources.qiagenbioinformatics.com/manuals/clclicenseserver/current/index.php?manual=Downloading_license_files_Windows.html
Note! When you are upgrading an existing license file, then it is very important that old license files, that is, the ones you are replacing, are deleted from the
Licenses folder before the License Server is restarted.
To find the host ID of the machine running the CLC Workbench software:
In recent versions of the Workbenches, you should see the host ID reported in the section of the License Information tab called Local Machine Information:
Alternatively, if a License Wizard opens automatically when you start up the Workbench, then you should see the host id for the machine at the bottom of that window:
For older versions of the Workbench, you will see your host ID reported at the bottom of the License Wizard of the Workbench (see above). If it has not opened automatically, then you can open it by going to the the Help menu and choosing License Manager and then clicking the button labeled Upgrade License* in the main License Manager window.
* If this button is greyed out its because you are not running the Workbench with administrative rights. For information on how to run the Workbench with administrative rights please refer to the Related Page 'How do I run the Workbench as administrative user?'
You can find the host ID relevant for the CLC Genomics Server software by following the instructions below:
On Windows: Initiate the
downloadlicense.command script found in the installation directory of your CLC Genomics or Server Server software.On Mac: Run the downloadlicense.command script found in the installation directory of your CLC Genomics or Server Server software.On Linux: Run the downloadlicense script found in the installation directory of your CLC Genomics or Server Server software.
In all cases, the host ID is reported near the top of the window.
You can find the host ID relevant for the CLC License Server software by following the instructions below:
Windows: Initiate the licensedownload.bat script found in the installation directory of your CLC License Server.
Mac: Run the downloadlicense script found in the installation directory of your CLC License Server. Linux: Run the downloadlicense script found in the installation directory of your CLC License Server.
In all cases, the host ID is reported near the top of the window.
A CLC license is tied to the machine that it is downloaded to. To find out which machine your license has been downloaded to, you can look up this information by logging into myCLC.
If you do not already have access to myCLC, please email [email protected] to request access.
Host IDs are based on network interfaces. To be able to download and use a license for CLC software onto a particular piece of hardware, that hardware needs to have at least one network interface.
A blank Host ID field means that when our licensing software looks for network interface information, there either is no such information, or that information is being filtered away before it can be used.
An example of what this situation can look like when trying to download a license to a CLC Workbench is below.
Clearing up this situation, so that at least one network interface is found, should resolve the problem and allow you to download a license.
CLC licenses are specific to a particular machine. In particular, the machine that the license file was downloaded to is the machine that it is tied to.
Static licenses are tied to the machine the Workbench is running on. In the case of network licenses, which are served by the CLC License Server software, the license file(s) are specific to the machine the License Server software is running on.
An error like 'The requested license order is not available for the specified Host ID' means either that
We provide information about the steps required to move a license from one machine to another, or in the case where the MAC address of a machine has changed in a related FAQ:
It is necessary to have a Maintenance, Upgrades, and Support (MUS) subscription that covers the release date of the version of the Workbench you are attempting to upgrade to. For example, if you are attempting to upgrade to Genomics Workbench 12, it is necessary that the MUS subscription did not expire before November 28, 2018.
An error like 'Version not covered by license' suggests that the license you are using did not have MUS coverage on the date that version of the Workbench was released.
If you would like to upgrade from your current version to a newer version it will be necessary to renew your MUS subscription. Please contact [email protected] for information about renewing your MUS subscription.
Information about your licenses and MUS subscriptions can be found through myCLC. Please see the FAQ page How can I get access to myCLC?to learn how to gain access to your myCLC account.

An error that looks like this:
indicates that you have copied a license file for a network license into the licenses folder under your CLC Workbench installation area.
Network licenses are made available using the CLC License Server software. They should not be copied into an area under your Workbench installation.
Assuming you already have the CLC License Server software installed, the general process for installing and upgrading network licenses is:
Full instructions for the CLC License Server, including information on downloading licenses, can be found in the manual, which is available from:
A direct link to the section where downloading a network license is covered is:
The CLC License Server software can be downloaded from:
An error message saying 'Unable to connect to license server' means that your CLC Workbench is unable to make contact with the CLC License Server that it has been configured to contact to obtain a license from.
This problem could be due to
The License Server information is configured in the Workbench as described in the manual section on setting up licensing:
If that information is correct, then you will need to contact the administrator of your License Server at your site and let them know you are experiencing this problem. If they say the CLC License Server is running fine from their end and that other users can connect to it, then please check your own machine and Workbench settings to ensure that the Workbench can connect to your License Server. For example, if there is a proxy set up at your site and it could affect your connection to the server running the CLC License Server software, please check your proxy settings for your machine and also check your Workbench proxy settings. The Workbench proxy settings are described in our manual here:
An example of what such an error looks like in the Genomics Workbench 12 is:
This FAQ entry relates to messages seen in the Workbench where a license is not valid. This can occur for both network and static licenses. In both cases, the license file that is being used is not valid for the version of the Workbench you are attempting to run.
If you are attempting to use a static license, the error message indicates that a new license file needs to be downloaded to the Workbench. The error message will appear as follows:
If you are attempting to use a network license, the error message indicates that the license file on the license server needs to be updated. The error message will appear as follows:
