ERROR license

[Rune_Yttervik]

Hi,

I have received a new computer. This time with Windows 7 OS. I have installed Visual Studio and the Intel Visual Fortran Compiler 9.1, but I needed help from the system administrator because there are more rigid security issues than before on our system.

However, when I try to build one of my projects I get this error message:

1 Error A licence for FCompW could not be obtained

2 error:coulf not checkout FLEXlm license

I have put the license filefrom Intel in c:\\apps\\intel_lisens\\.

I am grateful for tips aiding me in rsolving this.

Thanks,

Best regards,
Rune

The default locations are slightly different on Win7 than on WinXP, especially if you moved from XP-32 to W7-64. The default location for the license file on W7-X64 is C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\Licenses.

Either place the license in the expected place or set the environmental variable INTEL_LICENSE_FILE to the full path of the directory where you placed the license file.

c:\apps\intel_lisens\ is not a standard place for placing licenses, at least on English versions of Windows.

Your options for use of old compiler versions on Win7 are limited. The oldest Visual Studio suitable for win7 is VS2005, which requires both SP1 and the Vista/Win7 service pack. The first ifort which supported normal installation on win7 came out in the middle of the 11.1 support sequence.
