My customer asks:
How does the Mac
floating license work? If we invoke the compiler 20 times in one minute
do we need to access the server 20 times?
Please advise.
thanks.....Dave A. from Lifeboat Distribution.

Yes, each invocation of the compiler results in a request for the license (and a release when done.) One can compile multiple files with one compiler invocation (from the command line), and that's just one license call.

and, I suppose, that even if one uses the nifty and relatively new /MP option, the multiple compilation threads that may be launched will still result in a single license being checked out by the master compiler driver thread?

Each use of "ifort" consumes one license and makes one checkout call, no matter how many source files are on the command line. The Linux/Mac equivalent of /MP is
