What serial number to use when installing the evaluation copy of Intel® Software product

For evaluation, please select the option to Evaluate the product during install. No serial number is required for this option. This will allow you to evaluate the product for a full 31 days after installation. See below example image.

The option to activate the product requires a serial number and is intended for customers with commercial, academic, student or non-commercial versions of the product. If you select this option, your evaluation period will end 30 days after registration (not installation).

Option 1 and 3 can be used for non evaluation. For option 3, the installer will ask you to locate the license or you can place the license file "*.lic" in the following directory, making sure not to change the license file name:
On Windows*:
<installation drive>\Program Files\Common Files\Intel\Licenses
i.e. "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Intel\Licenses"
Note: if the INTEL_LICENSE_FILE environment variable is defined, copy the file to the directory specified by the environment variable, instead.
On Linux*:
/opt/intel/licenses
On MAC OS* X:
/Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses
