Upgrading Floating Licenses from Intel Cluster Studio to 2016 Parallel Studio XE

[ed_rosenbloom]

I have 2 Floating Licenses  for Intel Cluster Studio for Linux. I am running icc 11,12, and 14 versions under these existing licenses.

I am about to install icc 16, licenses obtained (via upgrade) for  Intel® Parallel Studio XE Cluster Edition for Linux.

Will the new licenses for icc 16 support running the older versions (above)  of the Intel compiler which I need for existing customer support, as well as the 16 version?

Your license includes older version, however support is limited to a number of compiler versions supported. The following article explains which versions of compiler are currently supported (14.0 and newer).

Will the older versions still run if i upgrade the license files to the new licenses?

[Devorah_H_Intel]

Yes, the older versions of the compiler will work with new licenses.
