Hi,

We've bought a bunch of named licenses recently and here are some of the questions.

1- Do we give each key to a developer and ask them to register themselves? OR as an administrator, should I register all keys (and receives license files) instead and distribute license files later

2- As per intel document - each named license allows 3 installations (same user) on different hosts as long as one copy is used at a time, do we have to register/add each MAC address somewhere?

3- It sounds like each download installer is embedded with a specific key, is this the case? Can I use one installer for all licenses  we bough?

3- We tried to install with one key, but for some reason, Intel sent us another key and indicates the original key was retired. Can you tell why?

Thanks,

Tao

 Each Serial Number (SN) should be registered by the user. However, you can add yourself as an admin for all serial numbers:

Host ID associated with each SN is registered in Intel Registration Center automatically during activation via Internet connection and manually during offline installation.

What do you mean by 'one installer'?

We have made changes to our licensing model. In order to install the current and future releases and take advantage of new features you will need to upgrade your product and get a new serial number.
