When you consider distributing Intel® IPP libraries through your products, you may choose the following options:

1. Copy Intel IPP dlls directory from directories .\bin and .\stublib (for Window*) to your destination application folder.  (for Linux* and Mac OS* X, find shared libraries from directory \sharedlib

2. Create your own dll for your redistributions by using Intel IPP customdll linkage.

3. Use Intel IPP merged static library and dispatch static library from \lib directory.

If you are using Intel IPP stand-alone product:
Check the redist.txt file located in Intel IPP root directory for more details (Please note, this file is only contained in the full product package)

If you are using Intel IPP from Intel® Parallel Studio/Composer:

Check the credist.txt file located in Paralle Studio/Composer documentation directory C:\Program Files\Intel\Parallel Studio\Composer\Documentation for details.

Additional reference for Intel Parallel Composer redistribution topic can be found here.

If you are using Intel IPP from Intel® Compiler Professional Edition:

Check the redist.txt file located in Intel IPP directory for more details.

  1. Find your Serial Number (SN)
  2. Register the SN
  3. Download the product from the Intel Registration and Download center

Then the next steps are different based on your license type.

If you have a counted license, you have to do following:

I. Set up the license server
  1. Read the Intel License Manager for FLEXlm* User's Guide
  2. Find the right system for the license server
  3. Download the correct FLEXlm server for license servery system
  4. Install the FLEXlm server:
    • after installation, the license server should start running automatically
    • As for how to manually start or stop the FLEXlm license server, please refer to the FLEXlm user's guide
II. Install the product on the client systems
  1. Set up the client license
  2. On Windows, just run the downloaded product package program. It will automatically extract the package and start the installation.

    3. >> w_cproX_11.1.XXX.exe
  3. On Linux* or Mac OS* X, use following commands to install:

    4. $ tar -xzvf l_cproX_11.1.XXX.tgz
    $ ./install.sh

If you have a single user license, just follow the simple steps below:

  1. The easies way to install is to use your SN. You can find the SN in the email when you purchase the product. See this KB on where to find your SN.
  2. To use the license file to install
    • Save the license file sent to you by email to a directory [lic-dir]\mylic_file.lic
      • On Windows, we use [common files]\intel\licenses folder as the default license folder
      On Linux or Mac OS X, we use /opt/intel/licenses directory as the default license directory

    • Set up an environment variable to this file:

      • On Windows, use
      >> set INTEL_LICENSE_FILE=[lic-dir]\mylic_file.lic

      On Linux or Mac OS, use
      $ export INTEL_LICENSE_FILE=[lic-dir]\mylic_file.lic
  3. Install the product

    4. On Windows, run the downloaded product package program like below. Use either the license file or SN to install.
    >> w_cproX_11.1.XXX.exe

    On Linux or Mac OX X, use following commands:
    $ tar -xzvf l_cproX_11.1.XXX.tgz
    $ ./install.sh

Problem : 
We have developed a multilevel iterative solver that we would like to distribute as a DLL and LIB on Windows to students at our university and also to project partners.

The iterative solver needs optimized BLAS and LAPACK kernels and we recently purchased a Intel professional compiler suite that includes the MKL. I have compiled the solver using icl and ifort. We need the MKL library on Windows and as far as I understand, we have included the MKL in our DLL, but only our symbol iterative_solver can be used by the project partners.

My question is whether the Intel licensing conditions allows me to redistribute our DLLs and the libraries  to our project partners.


Environment : 
Intel C++ Compiler for Windows

Resolution : 

You may provide the "Redistributables" from Intel C++ compiler Professional Edition as part of your product. The "Redistributables" are the files listed in the following text files that may be included in the Materials for the applicable Intel Software Development Product: clredist.txt, credist.txt, fredist.txt, redist.txt.

Intel grants to you a non-exclusive, non-assignable copyright license to distribute (except under an Evaluation License as specified below) the Redistributables, or any portions thereof, as part of the product or application you developed using the Materials. If such application is a software development library, then attribution, as specified in the product release notes of the corresponding Materials, shall be displayed prominently in that application's product documentation and on the application's product web site.

For example, you may find the files that list the redistributables at following location in the default installation of Intel ®C++ compiler 11.0.074 Professional for Windows:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler\11.0\074\cpp\Documentation\en_US\credist.txt.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler\11.0\074\cpp\doc\redist.txt
C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler\11.0\074\cpp\Documentation\tbb\redist.txt
C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler\11.0\074\cpp\ipp\em64t\redist.txt

For the Intel C++ Compiler 11.1.035 Professional for Windows:
C:\Program Files\Intel\Compiler\11.1\035\Documentation\en_US\credist.txt

Please refer the End User License Agreement of the product on this for further details.


The 11.x Intel® C++ Compiler Professional Edition for Windows* product includes the Intel® C++ Compiler, the Intel® Math Kernel Library, the Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives, and the Intel® Threading Building Blocks products. The Knowledge Base article at the following link includes information on redistributable libraries for all the component products included with Intel C++ Compiler Professional Editions for Microsoft Windows*.

Problem : 
I have a single user license. Can I install the product on different machines with mutiple times?

Resolution : 
Yes, you can. Single-user license allows the license owner to install the product on mutiple systems. however, only ONE copy of the software may be in use at any one time.
Please see End User License Agreement for your reference.

Q: 
I have purchased some software products with boxed edition. However, I find their packages are not the same as what they look like from Intel® Business Exchange software download store. Did I purchase wrong/old products?

A: 
No, you didn't. I believe you have purchased the right product and the latest version. We are sorry to get you confused. 
This is because not all of the packages have been updated for the boxed edition at the same time.

An account will be automatically created when you register your SN (serial number) of the product.

  1. If you have a single user license SN, you can register it at Intel(R) Registration Center using the SN.
  2. If you have the SN of a floating license, you and all other engineers with emails from the same domain can register at Intel(R) Registration Center using the same SN. So every one who uses the floating license can submit issues to Intel Premier Support.
