sorry, no way to get it.
btw - in the registration center you can find 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1 and the latest 10.2
Zhangwei, i am just curious why are you looking for this version?
What is the advantage of 8.0 versus the latest versions ?

Yes, that's clear.In this case, it seems to me, you are not interested in the latest CPU optimizations available in the latest versions as well as a lot of others improvements....

Note that MKL 8.0 is not matched with ifort 8.0 (a relatively buggy version) in the sense of sharing the same libguide OpenMP library, for example, while the recent ifort professional releases give you matched MKL and Fortran compiler. You can't assume that the older tools will work better on the older OS, even though they may indicate in release notes that they were tested on that OS.
