I've just (accidentally) found that one of our colleagues in the lab (who is a graduate student) uses a cracked piece of software on his personal laptop (We were talking near his station and a pop up went up and warned about the fake license of the software).

However, without solid proof you should not assume anything. Ask your colleague about the software. Chances are, they have a reasonable explanation for the error message you've seen: they may have a legit free trial version which expired, connection issues preventing license validation, missing license token etc. If they admit using cracked software, tell them it's against university policies (it almost certainly is), and give them a chance to fix the situation.
I'm a graduate student in a North American university, where utilization of such cracked licenses for personal use is not only common among students, but also between faculty members! It is not something deserving, but it's a fact.
A license is not required to simply open the client, so it is possible to skip 2. Configure the client, if you download the profile data file to your desktop. You can then open it by just selecting LOAD PROFILE DATA FILE and navigating through a file browser on your local system.
Interactive mode is similar to running STAR-CCM+ on a desktop machine in that the graphical user interface (GUI) will be sent from OSC and displayed on the local machine. To run interactive STAR-CCM+, it is suggested to request necessary compute resources from the login node, with X11 forwarding. The intention is that users can run STAR-CCM+ interactively for the purpose of building their model, preparing input file (.sim file), and checking results. Once developed this input file can then be run in no-interactive batch mode. For example, the following line requests one node with 28 cores( -N 1 -n 28 ), for a walltime of one hour ( -t 1:00:00 ), with one STAR-CCM+ base license token ( -L starccm@osc:1 ) on Owens:
