You have to use your own license in order to run STAR-CCM+ on ZIH systems, so you have to specify the parameters `-licpath` and `-podkey`, see the example below.
Our installation provides a script `create_rankfile -f CCM` that generates a host list from the
Slurm job environment that can be passed to `starccm+`, enabling it to run across multiple nodes.
```bash
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --time=12:00 # walltime
#SBATCH --ntasks=32 # number of processor cores (i.e. tasks)
