Intel Fortran Compiler

[Swami_S_]

Hello,

I had few questions about purchasing a new Intel Fortran Compiler license. Since we are an in Institute in TU Munich we want to buy academic license. I have few questions regarding:

1. What ‘Priority Support Renewal (SSR)’ and ‘Product with priority support’ mean?
2. License Renewal Type: Post-Expiry and Pre-expiry meaning?
3. Are we eligible for an academic floating license with 2 or 3 seats?

I would further like to discuss about pricing and validity of licenses etc. Can anyone please clarify this.

Thanks and hope to hear soon from you.

Regards,

Swami

1. Academic and Commercial licenses give you access to priority support from Intel for one year. After that you can renew the support (which includes the right to install and use newer versions) at a reduced price - this is SSR. If you don't renew support, you lose access to priority support and can't install newer versions released after your support term ends.

2. You get an additional discount if you renew support before it expires. 

3. https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/academic-pricing has details on academic licenses Licenses are sold in 1, 2 and 5 seat units.
