Where are license files after installation of Intel® Parallel Studio XE Composer Edition for C++ Linux

[Rashawn_K_Intel1]

Hello,

I installed Parallel Studio XE Composer Edition for Linux yesterday. After invoking the environment by sourcing the appropriate compilersvars script, I inspected the environment, and noted the variable $INTEL_LICENSE_FILE:

echo $INTEL_LICENSE_FILE
/<pathTo>/compilers_and_libraries_2016.1.150/linux/licenses

However, when inspecting the above path, I find the path does not exist.  My question is, what should the above path contain?  I received a *.lic file in an email when I first downloaded the software.  Should I copy this file into the installation area?

Regards,

Hi Rashawn,

I assume you installed a named user product on your Linux* system. During the installation the license file should have been put in the following location: /opt/intel/licenses

You don't need to worry about the variable $INTEL_LICENSE_FILE, it needs to be set for floating licenses only.

Hello Noga,

Thank you for responding.  I do not have access to /opt/intel/licenses/ as it is owned by root.  I conducted the installation as a user and installed into a shared NFS space. I am confused by the environment variable which has /opt/intel/licenses/ listed second after the path I referenced earlier, which is my installation location. I do not have a floating license.  I need a solution to use this compiler on an NFS space. Is there a way that I can place the appropriate license file(s) in the installation area? Perhaps I overlooked a prompt during the installation for where to place the license.

Hello Devorah,

Thank you for sharing the link.  This is exactly what I needed and  now the compilers work without licensing errors.
