COMSOL collapses when 3D postplot

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I have installed COMSOL 3.5 in Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS. Everything works well on the local machine, but when I use remote desktop software, Xmanager 4.0, to logon that machine and run comsol script M file, COMSOL collapses when it postplots 3D figures.
The error report log is attached

Hi

I suspect that is because normally the "stand alone" COMSOL licence does not accept remote connection. For that you need a network licence. This has a commercial sens when you are in a big company, to avoid they run a 3x8h licence all around the world, while paying for a "single person at the time access".But I agree, it's very limiting for a small or single man company ;)

If you take a consultant today, wanting to provide a reasonable service, with commercial software, he must consider about the equivalent to his own salary for the purchase and licencing of the required software. Not ideal for maximum flexibility and freedom to do your business in a liberal wold. But on the other hand a company selling good software need some income too. The optimum for individuals is seldom (if ever) the optimum of a system ...
