I have the Intel Parallel Studio XE 2011 installed on 32 bit Windows XP Pro. The installation has a local license file in the /program files/common files/intel/licenses directory. Starting the FORTRANcompiler from the command line I initially was seeing compiler load times of 30 seconds.Windows environment variable "INTEL_LICENSE_FILE" correctly references the license directory. I put a copy of the license file in the local directory with the compiler executable and the compiler now starts in 5 seconds. 5 seconds is still a long time to start when I have 1000's of files to compile. I next disconnectedthe computer from the network and found the compiler starts instantaneously. I should note that the network I'm connected to is not connected to the internet. So the question is what is the compiler trying to access on the network and how do I stop it? Is it looking for a FlexLM license before using the local license? Is it trying to contact Intel for some certificate?
