License of Intel Visual Fortran Composer XE 2011 for Windows OS

[Tim_Hao]

We purchased above fortran compiler package in 2011, I have been using it no issue until I replaced the old laptop with a new one, then I tried to install this package on the new laptop, an error message always popup to complain the serial #.

Do this mean my software license expired and we need to pay the license fee again?  I thought we don't need to do this unless we need technical support. And I never get expiration warning on my old laptop.

Anybody know how should I do to resolve this issue?  Thanks,

You can find your license file on the old laptop in C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Intel\Licenses\ folder.  It is a .lic file extension.  Copy this to the same directory on the new laptop.  This is a text file.  Inside is the date stamp for support expiration.  You cannot change that, it is CRC'ed in the license file.  But you can look at the date.  You can install any compiler with a "Build Date" BEFORE that support expiration.
