.lic file for older version of Intel Fortran Composer XE for Linux

[NL2]

I am trying to install an older version of Intel Fortran Composer XE for Linux using the instructions found here:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/older-version-installation/
and here:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/older-version-product/

I have downloaded the older versions (9.1.052 and 10.0.023) but when I try to tell the install.sh script to read the the .lic file I get the following error:

===============================================================================
Invalid license file

Please make sure that the file you provided at .lic is a valid license file with active support for the Intel product you are trying to install. If you are installing on a native-language system other than English, please make sure that the full path to the license file uses only English characters.

===============================================================================

Is there something wrong with the licence file? How can I get the older version software to install?

Thanks,
N

Hello!

I have the same problem!

I have to use the intel compiler fortran 9.x. I've tried installing several versions of this. What intrigued me is that when I use that same file to install 10.1.26 or 11.x versions of the compiler installation proceeds without problems.

I am using the license file I get email when I register my serial number.

I am using Ubuntu 32-bit 10.10. The same error occurs in the 64-bit system.

You know what's going on?

Jean,
You are right. On Ubuntu you cannot install the Fortran Compiler 9.1 with a new (XE based) license. The only way may be to install the .rpm from the /data dir with using alien. Could you pleaes have a try?

Just one additional note: It's not an issue with the license file format; it's an issue with the installer that doesn't work on some systems. Most of them I tried out work, but Ubuntu doesn't.
