Dear Sir/Madam,
I have bought a license for the intel visual fortran compiler for windows. I am wondering how many computers can use the intel visual fortran compiler concurrently. If more than that number are running the intel visual fortran. What will happened? will i receive a message to notify me that more than that number of machines are running it?
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Jingfen

I believe that the answer is, legally, one. Depending upon your licence Intel may or may not track that you have installed it on more than one machine.
The Borland policy, and at one stage this also applied to Microsoft's Office products, was that you could install the product on more than one machine, provdiing that you never used the software on more than one machine at once. Borland described it as the equivalent of a paperback book uisage rights - and it was convenient for having the software installed at work & at home, when laptops were relatively rare & expensive. Now you have to pay about 16 for the 'right' to use Microsoft Office on your work & home machine, and I think Borland /Inprise (?) have joined the standard approach of 'if you want it at home & work, buy two licences.' Or get it installed on a laptop ;-)

We offer two types of licenses in the general case.
A "single user" license is licensed to a named individual. That individual can use the compiler on as many computers as he or she wishes, without limit. But anyone else using the compiler requires their own license. No separate license manager is used.
A "floating" license enables a fixed number of "seats", depending on how many licenses you bought. Each "seat" enables one compile, anywhere on your organization's netwok by anyone. A license manager must be installed on a supported system on your network, but this doesn't have to be a system where the compiler is installed. If you attempt a compile and all licenses are currently in use, the compiler will wait for one to become available.
These licenses are for the compile only - they do not regulate running the application or developing in an editor or debugger.
