Activating Intel C++ compiler on a Mac

[velvia]

Hi,

I have used the evaluation of the Intel C++ compiler on a Mac. At the end of the evaluation period, I have bought a license and I have now a serial number that I have entered in the Intel Software Manager Tool.

When I run

icpc --version

I get the following message. What should I do to fix that ?

Best regards,

Francois

As you can see from the output above, your licenses are stored in  /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses

But look how many licenses are in there!  I would bet some of these are pretty old.  You might get a Terminal window and cd to that directory.  These are text files so you can examine them.  Look for the INCREMENT line to find expired licenses.  Here is one of mine that is still up to date, notice the date in the INCREMENT line:

INCREMENT IC17361E0 INTEL 2015.0621 permanent uncounted etc

I create a new directory named 'archive' in this Licenses/ directory.  Then I move the old expired licenses into this new Licenses/archive/ directory.

So do this to clean up the old licenses and get them out of the way.

Next, let's get your new license and drop it in the Licenses/ directory:  follow these instructions:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/how-do-i-manage-my-licenses

follow step 5 to send yourself email with your license file as an attachment.  Then save that into the Licenses/ directory.  That should fix it.  If not I'll send you private email to get your serial number - do NOT post that in this public forum!

Hi Ronald,

Thanks for the help. It works now.

But I have made a mistake and registered the product with a new account (I am using a new email now that I run my own company). Would it be possible to transfer my forum points and belt to that new account (sylvatica) ?

Best regards,
Francois
