Baron License error

GAMS
1

I am a student using a valid Community Academic License. I am having an issue with the BARON solver when running a MINLP model. It says I do not have a valid license and does not run. Below is my error.

I thought my community license does have the BARON solver included. What can I do?

Please help me.

The error message is slightly misleading, it probably failed because the model you want to solve is too big for the community license. See https://www.gams.com/latest/docs/UG_License.html#UG_License_Additional_Solver_Limits for the model size limits for the community license. BARON has tighter limits than GAMS: “Antigone, Baron, and LindoGlobal require m≤300, n≤300, and nlnz≤100 with a community license.”

SCIP is the only global solver that works with the GAMS community limit ( m≤5000, n≤5000).
