Do DLL's created still require valid license?

[John_L_1]

Hi, sorry if this is a dumb question. I have a broken version of Python 2.7 with a horrible mix of VS libraries that I cant debug. I figure what the hey, I'll just rebuild everything from source, including SCIPY, etc, using Visual Studio FORTRAN, C++, MKL, etc. What could go wrong :-)

I have VS 2017 for C++, but and have now just downloaded an evaluation copy of FORTRAN compiler. My assumption is that any Fortran-related DLL's, etc, that get built will all survive the loss of the FORTRAN compiler license (after 30days) , but I wanted to check first.

Thoughts?

The DLLs will survive, but using them after the end of the evaluation period is a violation of the license terms you agreed to. You are not permitted to use an evaluation license to compile code that will be used after the license term.

A. Evaluation License. If You obtained the Materials under an evaluation license, You may use the Materials only for internal evaluation purposes and only for the term of the evaluation period, as specified on Intel’s download website or controlled by the license key for the Materials. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, You may use the Materials only for evaluation purposes and only for any term of the Evaluation, You may not distribute any portion of the Materials, and the application and/or product developed by You may only be used for evaluation purposes and only for the term of the evaluation.
