Reference Number : DPD200112364, DPD200112359


Version : Intel Compilers Pro versions 11.0.xxx, Intel Parallel Composer


Operating System : Windows XP x64, WinServer 2003 x64 Edition.  Visual Studio versions with x64 components.  does NOT affect 32bit builds on any platform.


Problem Description : During build of x64 configuration the compilation will abort with error in 'FNPLicensingService64' service.


Resolution Status : A fix will appear for this in Intel Compiler products, rolling out between February 2009 and May 2009 (varies by product).

WORKAROUND:  There is a workaround for non-evaluation and evaluation customers.

Evaluation licensed customers: Check that you have registered your evaluation compiler and have obtained a license file.  License files are (by default) installed in:
c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\Licenses

If you do not have a license file for your product in the location above, please go to https://registrationcenter.intel.com, register your serial number.   After registering your serial number and while logged into Intel Registration Center's main page:

• - Click the hyperlink for your product, such as 'Intel(R) Visual Fortran Compiler Professional Edition for Windows*'
• - On the next page that appears, under the column labeled 'Licenses', click the hyperlink 'Manage'
• - On the next page that appears you will see your license.  Under the text box with the license you will see a link to 'Resend license file to my email'.  Send yourself a copy of your license and save into the license directory (above).
• Follow the directions below for NON-evaluation customers

NON-evaluation customers (and Eval customers once the previous steps are performed): you should have a license file on your system.  If for some reason you do not have your license file, follow the directions above.

Now that a license file is installed on your system:

Open a Windows Explorer window (not Internet Explorer, you want the file browser tool).  Browse to:
c:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler

from this directory, use the 'Search' tool. 
Search by 'All files and folders'. 
for 'All or part of the file name:' enter the text "libFNP.dll"
This search should return somewhere between 3 and 12 files.  Select all these files and DELETE them (or move them to a directory outside of ...\Intel\Compiler and rename them).

This completes the work around for FNPLicensingServices errors.
