You may see this error during installing Intel Software Development Products with a license file.  There are a few things you need to check.

1. The license file may be corrupted.  Please log into Intel® Software Development Products Registration Center (IRC), and resend license file to your email.  Modifying license file arbitrarily may invalidate it.

2. Check the license and its support expiration date in IRC.  Make sure the product you are installing is covered by the license, and the build date of the product is earlier than the support expiration date of the license you own.  Please refer to this article.

3. If your license is a floating license, you need to have Intel® FLEXlm* license server(s) set up properly.  And update your license file with hostname and host ID of your license server(s) in IRC.  Then send the updated license file from IRC, and install Intel Software Development Products with it.  For more details, please refer to Intel® FLEXlm* License Manager FAQ.
