Download older versions of OneAPI ( aka 2023.2 with Compiler Classic)

[AndrewC]

Is is possible to download older versions of OneAPI, for example 2023.2 so that we can continue to use "Compiler Classic".

I have seen some comments that this requires an Intel Support Contract ?

Our company is a very heavy user of Intel Compilers, we dropped the support contract due to the onerous SSO log-in requirements for anyone needing support due to security concerns.

This is pushing away from using the  Intel compilers to using clang directly.

Hi Andrew, Intel® has decided that Intel® oneAPI Toolkits Versions: 2023.1.0 and earlier are not supported anymore. We urge users to upgrade to the latest version of Intel® developer tools. The unsupported versions do not include the latest functional and security updates. These versions are targeted to be removed after a period. For more information refer to the link: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/release-notes/oneapi-supported-product-versions.htm, and scroll down to the Unsupported Product Version.

Intel® oneAPI users with active Intel Priority Support can access older versions via a secure portal you gain access to as part of your support subscription.

I consider this a very unhelpful approach from Intel. Any one working at larger companies knows that transitioning compiler versions is a complex process ( especially on Windows platforms where the Visual Studio versions have to be managed).  Hiding older compiler versions away seems very counter productive to keeping users on the Intel compiler platform.

Hi Andrew, we apologize for the inconvenience caused. As previously mentioned that Intel® oneAPI Toolkits Versions: 2023.1.0 and earlier are not supported anymore. We understand that this might be challenging, but it's important to note that the users with active priority support can only access older product versions, as publicly, only the Intel® oneAPI Toolkits and the latest products are available for download and installation.

Please be informed that the Intel® oneAPI users with active Intel Priority Support can access older versions via a secure portal you gain access to as part of your support subscription. Kindly refer below link for more details:
