License file installed, but still in the evalution period

[florianh]

Hello,

we had installed the evaluation version of the Intel Fortran Compiler on our Windows Server 2008R2 terminal server some weeks ago. We uninstalled this version because of the missing Visual Studio Shell.

Today I installed the full version with the license file, but when I open the Command Prompt and run the ifort.exe I get the message:

Copyright (C) 1985-2011 Intel Corporation. All rights reserved.
30 DAY EVALUATION LICENSE

ifort: NOTE: The evaluation period for this product ends on 28-dec-2011 UTC
ifort: command line error: no files specified; for help type "ifort /help"

How can we solve this?

best regards,
Florian

You can ignore this - the message will go away when the evaluation period expires - or you can use the Activation tool as described in the Fortran compiler release notes:

Activation of Purchase after Evaluation Using the Intel Activation Tool

Note for evaluation customers: Intel Activation Tool ActivationTool.exe is included in this
product release and installed at [Common Files]\Intel\Parallel Studio XE 2011
SP1\Activation\.

If you installed the product using an Evaluation license or serial number or using the Evaluate
this product (no serial number required) option during installation, and then purchased the
product, you can activate your purchase using the Intel Activation Tool at Start > All Programs >
Intel Parallel Studio XE 2011 > Product Activation. It will convert your evaluation software to a
fully licensed product.
