Licence file not provided as e-mail attachment

Hello, I have purchased a student licence for the intel software development packages. After registering my serial, I was sent an e-mail that was supposed to have the .lic file attached (according to the e-mail body), but there was no attachment. I have had the e-mail resent from my licence management page but each time there is no attachment. The page does provide me with the contents of the .lic file that I can copy and paste for my own use, though I'm uncertain what the file name should be.

As an aside, I purchased this licence to reactivate some intel software that I was using a 30 day evaluation licence for. Will it be sufficient to just copy and paste the new .lic file into the licences folder (where the expired eval licence currently resides) in order to reactivate my software?

Thanks

Evan,

There is a little inconsistency actually in the Intel® Registration Center. Student licenses are no longer delivered via email; the policy is to use the serial number for product activation. The registration center doesn't behave correctly though; it should issue a warning that the license file delivery is not supported for student licenses.

You can copy/paste contents of the license file from the Registration Center. You can give the license file any name, but the extension must be .lic.

You can just replace the eval license file with your student license; no re-installation is required.

Regards, Hubert.
