Using community license of Intel MKL for multiple users

The community license is is a "Named-User" license.

My understanding is that multiple copies of the library has to be installed for each end user. However, this proves to be a little technical difficulty for us. Security is a major concern for us. The server will be isolated from internet except for limited access for certain business activities. Each end user will not be able to transfer data in or out the server. Only the administrator can do it.

Is it OK for the root user to install a single copy of the library system wide (/opt/intel is the default installation directory), and each end user will still register, and active an license, which will be put into each user’s home directory.

Hi Woodbird and all,

Add clarify, we removed The "named user" restriction and simplify the MKL license agreement now.

MKL follow the Intel Simplified Software License : https://software.intel.com/en-us/license/intel-simplified-software-license

Please see more in https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-math-kernel-library/topic/720015

you can install either multiple copies or one copy and share it with multiply users.

Best Regards,

Ying
