VTune 2016 Update2, SuSE SLES 12 "manual" install?

We're not having any luck installing VTune 2016 Update2 on a SLES 12 system.

We haven't pin-pointed the exact failure, but suspect that some *.so referenced by the install.XXXX/activation/activation.so is not available. (eg in addition to libexpat).

Our intention is to use a (MAC-derived) named-license file (no internet access).

It looks, in passing, like we might be able to simply install the *.rpms extracted from the vtune_amplifier_xe_2016_update2.tar.gz (and/or unpack the rpm's and have a look at the *spec files for further installation clues).

Has anyone else managed to do a Vtune "manual" install, who could provide approximate/rough guidance on what to look out for?

for reference, we were able to install on Fedora 20, same system. (but not Fedora 23, so far).

putting this up here, in case it might be of help to someone attempting an install,
and/or perhaps someone on the Intel dev staff might recognize the issue: 

TL;DR version: 
using a preloaded .so, worked around 2 unresolved functions, in [..]/activation/activation.so

Longer version: 

# nm -D /tmp/install.XXXXXX/activation/activation.so | grep -Pi '9f4df'

Hello,

Please see Intel® VTune Amplifier XE installation guide:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/Intel-VTune-Amplifier-XE-Install-Guide-Linux

For offline installation you will need to generate the license file, this article explains how to obtain the license file:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/how-do-i-get-my-license-file-for-intel-parallel-studio-xe-2016

Please let me know if the above helps.

Regards,
