Steve,
I'd pretty much assumed toggling back and forth wouldn't fly, but I'm not sure you've answered the single-toggle question of my second paragraph -- if I upgrade now to Pro, can I purchase the $200 non-Pro renewal subsequently, or have I locked myself into the (much) higher annual renewal fee?
I understand that a non-Pro renewal would bar me from IMSL tech support, and I expect my existing IMSL libraries would work less well than those updated with bug fixes and rebuilt usingthe later compiler. I just want to know if this is even an option.
Thanks,
Matthew

Hi Steve,
Any feedback yet from your marketing group? Again, the concern is whether I can get IMSL without locking myself in to the higher annual renewal fee.
Thanks,
Matthew

I got this from VNI:
"The IMSL Fortran version bundled with the Intel Visual Fortran compiler can
only be used with that compiler. The library nature of IMSL requires a
specific port to each individual compiler."
Am I right in assuming that if I get the IVF-specific IMSL DLL then I can use it with VC++ 6, for example, so long as the IVF rtl is accessible?
Also, Programmers Paradise Canada have catalog listings for IVF 8 Std and Pro, but not for an upgrade from Std 8 to Pro 8. Does this product have an Intel part/kit number or, even better, can it ordered directly from Intel?
Thanks,
Gerry T.

Here's the Programmer's Paradise link to the IVF Std-Pro upgrade. It is not available from Intel.
Yes, you should be able to use the IMSL DLL from C++ assuming the IVF DLLs are available.

"The end-customer needs to go to
http://www.intel.com/software/products/registrationcenter/index.htm and
register the PURCHASE AUTH. SERIAL # to receive the product licensing
information - license key, FTP address site, install instructions - from Intel."
Said Registration Center has a login button which when clicked responds with the '403 Forbidden: Access Denied' blather.
What to do?

It seems that the server was having a siesta when I dropped by and is now supplying the goods. By the size of it it's not merely IMSL but the whole shebang, undoubtedly requiring an inconvienent uninstall, backup, and reinstall.
BTW, how much of Intel Premier Support has been offshored so far?
Thanks,
Gerry T.

Well, yes, it is IMSL and the compiler, but what you can do, if you have a current standard edition is this. Run the EXE to unpack. It will bring you to a web page with TWO install links. Skip the one for the compiler and just install IMSL.
None of Premier Support has been "offshored", in that jobs have not been transferred out of the US. We have expanded local coverage in areas where we have lots of users, such as China and India, and also have support engineers in Germany (but not for Fortran.) We're looking to expand in Japan, as we don't have any local coverage there and need it. There is still a sizeable group in Hillsboro, Oregon, and other support engineers scattered around the US such as myself in New Hampshire. Someone is on duty around the clock, somewhere in the world.
Earlier this month we had a big get-together in Oregon; almost everyone was there and we did a lot of training that week on new technologies.
By the way, patches are coming to Fortran for Windows - in fact, I think the next update will be a patch rather than a full kit.

IMSL can interact with MKL but I don't see anything in the VNI docs on this. Perhaps it's transparent. I posted this to the MKL forum:
"I'm playing with the trial 6.1 at the moment but I gather that 7 will come in different editions one being 'gold'. What are the rest and how will they differ?"
but there doesn't appear to be anyone at home (that's what got me wondering about offshore support). MKL looks like it's well worth getting.

Steve,
I have a question regarding the upgrade. I have CVF 6.6 Pro and I am in the process of upgrading to IVF Pro. I understand I also need to buy C++.net standard to get the Visual Studio interface I'm used to have since the Microsoft Fortran Powerstation times.
If I also want to use VB to write GUI's for my fortran number-crunching codes, should I buy VB.net standard (which would be enough to write my simple GUI's) or do I need the whole .NET Pro package?
Years ago I used to do mixed-language programming using VB and Fortran and I could nicely have them both under Visual Studio and sort of debug them together. Is this still possible? And if so, do I need .NET Pro or C++.net standard and VB.net standard are enough?
Hope this is clear enough.
Roberto
