Installing Visual Fortran 9.1

[liaqat_khanaecom_com]

Recently, I purchased Intel Visual Fortran Version 1.11, Professional Edition. I have installed it on my computer and registered the software with Intel. Currently, I am using a CFD modeling software, FLOW3D. For writing user subroutines for FLOW3D, I need Intel Visual Fortran, Version 9.1. So I have downloaded Version 9.1 and I have several questions for installing it on a computer a) using Windows XP, Professional x64 Edition (Service Pack 2) and b) Intel Xeon CPU:

1. The installation guide indicates that I will need to enter serial number (or location of a license file). For serial number, can I use the serial number that I have received when I purchased Version 11.1.
2. Do I need to install FLEXlm license manager and obtain a license file from Intel. After receiving Version 11.1, I had installed it on a difference computer for registering the product. After registration, I have received a license file. For actual work, I will install Version 9.1 on a different computer (64-bit operating system with a larger RMA and faster CUPs). If I need a license file, will the already received license file work (on the other computer).
3. Under "The recommended installation order is as follows", the installation guide suggest installing Microsoft Visual Studio, and if necessary Microsoft Platform SDK, before installing Visual Fortran Compiler 9.1. Is this statement redundant for 64-bit operating system (see next item).
4. I am not sure what "Note" under Step 4 "Installation Instructions" means for Intel 64-based systems: "you must install the IA-32 compiler before installing the Integration into Microsoft Visual Studio, even if you will not be using the IA-32 bit compiler". With the downloaded *.exe file for Version 9.1, how do I first Install IA-32 compiler, then stop to install Microsoft Visual Studio in the second step, and in the third step install 64-bit version of Fortran compiler.

1. You can't use the 11.1 serial numnber. See this article for how to obtain the license file, though you say you already have it, so just specify it when you install 9.1.

2. Unless you have a floating license, you don't need a FLEXlm server.

3 and 4. Install Visual Studio first, then install the IA-32 compiler and then the Intel 64 compiler. You will need VS2005 (neither 2003 nor 2008 will work for you) and must choose a Custom instasll of VS2005 Professionsl Edition or higher and select the Visual C++ x64 Compiler and Tools component. The Standard Edition does not need this step.
