Update free-non-commercial license after expiration

[Stefano_Zaghi]

Dear all,

in the past I have obtained a free-non-commercial license of the great Intel Fortran Compiler (Parallel Studio for Linux), it being for developing some free-open-source Fortran projects. 

This license is now expired. I tried to ask for a new one, but the Intel server said I have exceed the limit of obtainable licences. 

I checked my user profile on Intel and I found I had 3 keys 

XXXX-YYYYYYYY        Expires: 29 Apr 2016                 
XXXX-YYYYYYYY        Expires: 31 Mar 2016                 
XXXX-YYYYYYYY        Expires: 27 Mar 2016 

(Indeed, I am not sure why there are 3 keys and not only the last, I have to check my emails. I remember I had have to reinstall my workstation after a "HD crash disaster", but if I asked for a new key the final keys should be 2 not 3... but those were bad days. I suspect that the keys are related to the updates I have done when new Intel Compiler versions were provided, but I remember also the re-installation after the disaster, I am really confused.) 

Anyhow, can someone (Dr. Fortran?) give a feedback about "how many keys" I can ask for? 

Digging the online Intel pages I found that free-non-commercial license should be valid 12 months: it is probable that the first license I asked was in the summer of 2015, does this mean that I cannot ask for a new one? Have I overcome the 1 year limit or the keys-for-year one? 

Can you point me to the right Intel documentation page? 

Thank you in advance for any suggestions, 

My best regards.

Hello,

Please try to apply again for the non-comm license.

Dear Devorah,

Thank you very much for your help.

I am going to apply again right now, I will give you a feedback.

My best regards.

Dear Devorah,

I have just tried, but without success. The server said

Our records indicate that you have already requested the maximum number of noncommercial licenses for Intel® Parallel Studio XE Professional Edition for Fortran and C++ Linux*.

However, with a different email (my backup address) I have obtained a new free license. I am wondering if this is correct or it is a violation of your policies. I am developing some FOSS projects in Fortran and Intel Compiler is fundamental, but I do not like to violate your licensing. 

I have registered the other email address with the same data of my original address hoping that it is clear that this is always me...

Can I use the new license without violating your policies?

My best regards.

Why are you using more than one license key per user? You can obtain one license key which allows you to install on 3 systems.

I really do not know why I have three keys. I am currently using only one, the last I obtained today with another email address. The other three are expired in 29 Apr 2016 (31 Mar 2016 and 27 Mar 2016). I guess I had manually request those keys, but not sure why. I remember that I lost my license file when I had a HD crash, but I cannot explain the other key. Because the expiration date are very close I suspect that in those days I requested (wrongly) the license two times due to the urgency of the case.
