C and C++ are well-supported. C++ has gained lots of ground in the
HPC world over the past 10-15 years, for all but the most
performance-sensitive stuff. Probably due to the fact that "summer
slaves" all know C++ and rarely know "old" stuff like FORTRAN...even if
they're using "new" FORTRAN.
Unicos uses FlexLM from release 10 onwards. Cray negotiates
software/OS licenses individually, though there are some "boilerplate"
ones for simpler setups.

and what
software would you run on it
Anything written in Fortran. Some other languages were supported, but
the majority of customers used them for Fortran. (I assume
everything was custom per order)?
The system software (OS, compilers, etc.) certainly wasn't. Hopefully
the software licenses are transferable with the hardware, but having
never looked at Cray licenses, I have no idea.
