Davide,
No worries. I like to see folks engage SchedMD, especially if they are
seeing value in all the work that has gone into creating the software
that runs the majority of fastest clusters on the planet.

So if I understand correctly, this "remote database" is something that
is neither part of slurm itself, nor part of the license server per

I am a bit confused by remote licenses.

like local licenses. Then why call them remote?
