Problems with Intel Fortran licence in Mac OS X

[cresplum7]

I got a free licence for students two days ago, and I downloaded the 11.1 version of the Intel Fortran compiler for Mac OS X.

I already have the GNU fortran version (gfortran).

I recieved an email after registering on-line with an attatchment of a licence and the serial-number to complete the installation of the compiler.

Once I installed it, I tried to compile with the command 'ifort', but I got the next message:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error: A license for FCompM could not be obtained
Your license is not current enough to allow you to use this
newer version of our software. Usually this occurs because
your support services license expired before we created this
version. You will need to purchase a new license.

License file(s) used were (in this order):
1. Trusted Storage
2. /usr/bin/ifort-11.1-base/Licenses
3. /Users/cristian/intel/licenses
4. /opt/intel/licenses
5. /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses/NCOM_A___XXXX-XXXXXXXX.lic
6. /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses/m_XXXXXXXX.lic
7. /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses/m_XXXXXXXX.lic
8. /usr/bin/ifort-11.1-base/bin/ia32/*.lic

Please visit http://www.intel.com/software/products to obtain license renewal information.

ifort: error #10052: could not checkout FLEXlm license

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then, I tried to copy the licence that I got in the email in the path that is specified in the error message (.5), but I got the same error.

What should I do to fix the problem?

Hi,

Moving this to the appropriate forum.

Cristian,

I looked up your license info and it looks ok. I suggest deleting all the other .lic files from that directory other than the one you saved there, and see if that helps. Let me know.

Also, you may want to check your ~/.flexlmrc file.
It should contain a variabledefinition pointing toyourlicenses directory.

Hope it helps,

Cristian,

It didn't work.

I remember that I got an evaluation licence last summer for one month for the version 46 of the 11.1 build, and I didn't renew it. Now I've got the version number 80. I couldn't run the uninstall script for the 46 version (once I had the 80 version installed) so I simply deleted it, and that's what I still had the old licence in the next path:

/Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses/

Now there's just the new licence I got in that path, and the error message that appears when I run the compiler is slightly different:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error: A license for FCompM is not available now (-15,570,36).

A connection to the license server could not be made. You should

make sure that your license daemon process is running: both an

lmgrd.intel process and an INTEL process should be running

if your license limits you to a specified number of licenses in use

at a time. Also, check to see if the wrong port@host or the wrong

license file is being used, or if the port or hostname in the license

file has changed.

License file(s) used were (in this order):

1. Trusted Storage

2. /usr/bin/ifort-11.1-base/Licenses

3. /Users/cristian/intel/licenses

4. /opt/intel/licenses

5. /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses/NCOM_A___XXXX-XXXXXXXX.lic

6. /usr/bin/ifort-11.1-base/bin/ia32/*.lic

Can't find the~/.flexlmrc file. Where is it supposed to be?

[cresplum7]

I finally solve it installing theIntel License Managerfor FLEXlm* for Mac OS X.

Thanks for the support,

Cristian

Glad to hear it. It seems the license file you have left is a floating license.
