License checking

[peonor]

I've had cases now where licenses have been available, but the license checking in the Q2MM code itself fails for various reasons. I'd like a modification so that only proof of licenses unavailable will break here; on checking failure, let the code continue and keep your fingers crossed.

Do you want something like this? If the regex fails, go for it anyway. This may lead to data misalignment because MacroModel doesn't always return a nonzero exit status when it fails to complete a job, but I suppose it would fail either way.

The only thing that would worry me in this case is if there is an old log file from a previous iteration around, that got used instead of the one that should have been created. As long as the data misalignment is guaranteed to cause a crash, not erroneous data, I’d say let it run.

Oh, good thinking. Maybe the simplest way to deal with this would be to delete .q2mm. files before attempting a new MacroModel calculation.

Yes. It's not thinking, it's remembering (I've done sooo many mistakes in this field...)
