INTEL_LMD 4 error messages before checkout call returns rc 0

SCHWOERTZIG_T_ · ‎07-30-2013

Hi,

I set a log file before connecting to license server. I can see 4 error messages before flex_return_license is done.
I guess that there is trouble somewhere. Does anyone have an idea ?

Thank you very much
Thierry

what you observe is annoying but expected.

you would think that if you set INTEL_LICENSE_FILE that the Flex license check would go there first. Unfortunately, no. If you look in the log file you will see a list of places it will LINEARLY search for a valid license, and the Fortran feature FCompL (Fortran Compiler Linux).

I agree that this is most annoying. It will look for evaluation licenses in a place called 'trusted storage' first. And from your log you can see the other places it is going to check.

Some advice is to keep just one license on the client system with just the USE_SERVER line, and on the license host make sure the license server is serving up a license that is up to date.

Hi Ron,

Thank you for your reply.
You mean that ifort searches for evaluation licences before testing licence file locations listed in the log file ?
In my case i've got only one license file which contains :

SERVER [servername] ANY [port]
USE_SERVER

According attached log file it is placed in position 1 (I took care to mask serial number).

License file(s) used were (in this order):
** 1. /home/opt/intel/licenses/USE_SERVER.lic (correct one)
** 2. /home/opt/intel/Compiler/2011.9/293/composer_xe_2011_sp1.9.293/Licenses (empty)
** 3. /home/tschwoer/intel/licenses/*.lic (empty)
** 4. /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses (empty)
** 5. /home/opt/intel/Compiler/2011.9/293/composer_xe_2011_sp1.9.293/bin/intel64/USE_SERVER.lic

But if I change this order through INTEL_LICENSE_FILE definition :

    INTEL_LMD: ** 1. /home/tschwoer/USE_SERVER.lic (does not exists)
    INTEL_LMD: ** 2. /home/root/ (empty)
    INTEL_LMD: ** 3. /home/opt/*.lic   (empty)
    INTEL_LMD: ** 4. /home/opt/intel/licenses/USE_SERVER.lic (correct one)
    INTEL_LMD: ** 5. /home/opt/intel/Compiler/2011.9/293/composer_xe_2011_sp1.9.293/Licenses (empty)
    INTEL_LMD: ** 6. /home/tschwoer/intel/licenses (empty)
    INTEL_LMD: ** 7. /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses (empty)
    INTEL_LMD: ** 8. /home/opt/intel/Compiler/2011.9/293/composer_xe_2011_sp1.9.293/bin/intel64/USE_SERVER.lic

Then there is still 5 attempts to find the feature FCOMPL.
Is that expected ?

Thank you for your clarification
