ifort compiler license isssue

[Lei_W_]

I have recently purchased a Intel Fortran and C compiler (Intel® Software Development Suite Student Edition for OS X (Named-User) running on my macbook pro's Mac OS. Everything was fine, until last weekend when I did a time machine restore. After the restore, I can not use the ifort compiler any more. When I type fort xxx.f90, I got this following stuff. Is there anyone who may help me? Thank you so much!

Error: A license for FCompM is not available (-8,130).

I have removed the serial numbers from your post.  Please do not post serial numbers directly to the forum.

Please check /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses for any license files.  I am resending your license file.  If you don't have it in this folder, please save it there.

Hi James, 

Thanks for your quick response! I checked this folder /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses, and there already exist several licences files. However I still can not compiler code. I still get the same error message. 

In addition, I do just received a message containing the serial number. However, there is no attached file on this message. Would you mind to re-sent that with the attached license file to me ? Thank you again!

I just sent it to you in a private message here.

I received your message.  I'm glad it's working now.

I too have this issue now (although it seemed to work right after installation, but stopped after restarting my computer).

I have all the .lic files in the Users/Shared/Library..../Licenses/ folder (steps 5-8) and yet it is still not working. Please help!

Doesn't it give a list of the paths searched?  The usual one is /opt/intel/licenses/

ELicense file(s) used were (in this order):

    1.  Trusted Storage

**  2.  /usr/bin/ifort-15.0-base/bin/intel64/../../Licenses

**  3.  /Users/Daniel/Licenses

**  4.  /opt/intel/licenses

**  5.  /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses/*********.lic

**  6.  /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses/*********.lic

**  7.  /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses/*********.lic

**  8.  /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses/*********.lic

**  9.  /usr/bin/ifort-15.0-base/bin/intel64/*.lic

So, yes /opt/intel/licenses is checked (which I don't have), but I have all the licenses checked in 5-8.

EDIT: Btw, icc seems to work fine.

It appears that by moving the license files in steps 5-7 fixed the issue (but leaving the one in Step 8 in place). I created an archive subdirectory in the Licenses directory where those license files are now stored.
