I'm sorry to hear that you find our licensing frustrating. It is true that in the past we focused a lot on local deployments holding on to the notion of a physical machine. However, we have added a few licensing options that you might find interesting, specifically the Web License Service (https://www.gurobi.com/web-license-service/), where you can get a short-lived JSON Web Token inside of a Docker container which renews automatically. You can find our Docker Hub images here (https://hub.docker.com/orgs/gurobi/repositories).

There are also other ways like the Instant Cloud (https://www.gurobi.com/products/gurobi-instant-cloud/) which give you a very scalable SaaS approach.

Feel free to reach out to me (<lastname>@gurobi.com) to discuss more!
