Hi, I'm new here and I am having a license issue with PTU. I am running 64bit windows 2008R2 on a dual processor Xeon x5550 numa system. I installed the 31 day trial version of VTune Amplifier XE 2011u1 in order to get a valid license for PTU. This was suggested on the PTU download page. I then installed PTU 4.0u3 and ran sepreg.exe -i which was successful. Whenever I try to do a sampling collection or any PTU feature I get this error: Error: A license for PerfAnl could not be obtained (-1,359,2). Is your license file in the right location and readable? The location of your license file should be specified via the $INTEL_LICENSE_FILE environment variable. License file(s) used were (in this order): 1. C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Intel\\Licenses 2. C:\\Users\\Administrator\\AppData\\Roaming\\Intel\\Licenses 3. C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\ptu40_003_win_intel64\\bin\\*.lic Please visit http://support.intel.com/support/performancetools/support.htm if you require technical assistance. I did not see any *.lic file after installing the VTune trial version. Where is my Vtune license? How can I get PTU working? Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you David
