Changing license keys after installation

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to change license keys post installation. We have a complex development installation including many tools, Intel Fortran is only one of them. To simplify this process for lots of users, we've set one machine up with all the tools and then 'ghosted' it - we can then let many users start from copies of the ghost image saving lots of individual startup times. This works well for tools/products which use a licensing scheme allowing us to buy many seats all with the same license key. Intel Fortran license keys are unique to each installation, and are requested during installation throwing a wrench into our process. Is there a way to update the installation with the personalized license key after the installation, allowing us to use our 'ghost' process then require individual users to simply update to their personal license key?

Thanks

Matt

Copying the license file into program files (x86)common filesintellicenses folder should be sufficient. Then the support account would have to be activated separately by logging into http:registrationcenter.intel.com. The same result could be achieved by restarting the installation, entering the license key, and quitting. Of course, neither of these shortcuts are tested or supported formally.

You should also have an option to trade your licenses for a flexlm server license.

I had to do this for the new Visual Fortran Composer XE 2011 when I accidentally used a shared license number during the installation. I can comfirm that copying my individual .lic file to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\Licenses on my Widows 7 box worked.
