Composer XE 2011 License File Error in Windows 8.1

[Thomas_L_3]

I have a Windows 8.1 laptop that I am trying to install Composer XE 2011.n   Intel has provided the .lic file for my serial #/copy of the  installation disks.  However, the installation using a license file still says the Intel provided file in invalid.   Are there known compatibility issues with Composer XE 2011 license file installations and Windows 8.1?   A Google search was unproductive.

If you can't install either over internet by entering key or by file, asking on the companion licensing forum should get help faster.

I've moved this question to our Product Licensing and Installation support forum.

Hi, Thmoas

Intel Composer XE 2011 was initially released in 2010 and did not support Windows 8.1 yet.

That may cause the invalid license issue.

Could you consider upgrade to 2013 or 2015 versions?

Thanks
