Reference Number : DPD200161613, DPD200162865


Version : 2011


Product : Intel C++ or Visual Fortran Composer XE for Windows, Version 2011, Build: Initial Release (2011.0.104), or any other products contains Intel Parallel Debugger Extension


Operating System : Windows XP*, Windows 7*, Windows Server 2003*, Windows Server 2008*


Problem Description :

This issue happens in some environment only. But the symptoms and work-arounds are below.

When you try to install new Intel C++ or Visual Fortran Composer XE for Windows, and select to integrate them into Visual Studio 2005 which is already installed on your system, you will see the error message:

"Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 software is currently running. Installation cannot continue while MS VS 2005 software is running. Suggestion: Exit MS VS .NET 2005 software and run the installation again."

You have to press OK to continue, will see another error message:

"Error while installing the package 'C:\Program Files\Intel\Download\w_fcompxe_ie32_2011.0.104\Installs\1033\w_cproidb_vs_p_12.0.104\w_cproidb_vs_p_12.0.104.msi' Fatal error during installation.".

Then the installer will rollback and remove all componets installed on your system.

We have identified that the root cause of this problem is caused by installation failure of “Intel Parallel Debugger Extension” component (which will be installed by default with "Full Installation" type).


Resolution Status :

Compiler engineering team is working to fix this problem in future release.

The work around is to select “Custom Install” and deselect the “Intel Parallel Debugger” component while the installer ask you to select components to install. Then the installation will finish successfully without any problem.

Update: The update 1 of Intel Composer XE for Windows (package 2011.1.127) should have fixed this issue.   Please note that the final installation steps may take some time, please wait till the installation "Finish" dialog appears that shows the completion of the installation.

This feature allows users to ‘borrow” a license seat from the license host server for a limited time, disconnect from the network and use the borrowed license even with no connection to the license server. This is very useful in case you want to use the software offline.

Required Information

To use the license borrow functionality for Intel floating product licenses, customers need to ensure they have the following items:

1) A build of the Intel® License Manager for FLEXlm* (for the desired OS) that supports the Borrow capability:

a) Users need to make sure that they are using a build of Intel FLEXlm* License Manager which supports borrowing
and early return of borrowed licenses.

b) We recommend the customer download and install one of the free license manager servers available at the
following website link:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/performance-tools-for-software-developers-intel-flexlm-license-servers/

2) A license file which has the keyword BORROW in it: 

a) Licenses for Intel® Software Development Products with version 2011 have the BORROW feature with a BOROW period of 7 days enabled by default.  

b) To obtain a borrow-enabled license for a multi-seat floating product license with a version older than 2011, please   submit an issue to Intel® Premier Support at https://premier.intel.com/ under product 'Download, Licensing and Registartion'.
     

Steps for starting the FLEXlm* License Manager (Server) for using the Borrow feature

(1) Start the license server using the new borrow-enabled license file(s).

(2) Check the log for the Intel® FLEXlm* License Server and make sure that it does not complain about BORROW keyword in the license file.

     • By default, the log file location on Windows* is: %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Intel\FLEXlm
     • By default, the log file location on Linux* and Mac OS* X is the same where FLEXlm server has been installed

     A typical log file when FLEXlm Server has started successfully looks like the following:

     14:00:31 (lmgrd) US Patents 5,390,297 and 5,671,412.
     14:00:31 (lmgrd) World Wide Web: http://www.macrovision.com
     14:00:31 (lmgrd) License file(s): server.lic
     14:00:31 (lmgrd) lmgrd tcp-port 28518
     14:00:31 (lmgrd) Starting vendor daemons ...
     14:00:31 (lmgrd) Started INTEL (internet tcp_port 35860 pid 9309)
     14:00:31 (INTEL) FLEXlm version 9.23
     14:00:31 (INTEL) Server started on LicenseServer for:
     14:00:31 (INTEL) I3F97C15E (consisting of:   ArBBL
     14:00:31 (INTEL) CCompL    DbgL    FCompL
     14:00:31 (INTEL) MKernL    PerfAnl    PerfPrimL
     14:00:31 (INTEL) StaticAnlL    ThreadAnlGui    ThreadBB)


Client System Setup for the Borrow feature (Application Setup)

NOTE: The term “Client” refers to the application that uses Intel FLEXlm floating license seat check-out and check-in.

1) Download the lmutil for your operating system and architecture from http://www.globes.com/support/fnp_utilities_download.htm.

2) If you are not able to download the lmutil from the website above, work with your Intel Support team contact (or submit an issue to Premier Support at https://premier.intel.com/) for access to lmutil, and have the information about your Operating System, OS Version and Architecture (IA-32, Intel® 64 and/or IA-64[Intel® Itanium®]).

3) Verify that no Intel product components’ license seats (i.e., Compiler Professional Edition, Vtune, etc.) can be borrowed by running the following command. If you see any information that indicates one or more features/components were borrowed, then borrowing has already been enabled for those licensed features/components. Here is an example of output when no borrowing is enabled.

lmutil lmborrow -status

Example:
lmutil lmborrow -status
lmutil - Copyright (c) 1989-2009 by Macrovision Corporation. All rights reserved.


4) Configure the borrow duration and FLEXlm feature to be borrowed:

lmutil lmborrow INTEL dd-mmm-yyyy:[time] <featurename> -c <serverlicense file>

Example:
lmutil lmborrow INTEL 06-Oct-2011 CCompL -c server.lic

where,
server.lic is the license file which was used to start the server. It should be noted that license borrowing will fail if the license file on the client side is different than the one which was used to start the server.

The command above borrows a “featurename” called CCompL (Intel® C++ Compiler for Linux*) from the vendor INTEL until 6th Oct 2011 using the license file server.lic

NOTE:  The time specified on command line of lmborrow is the end date/time the user planed to borrow, which must be <= 168 hours, which is the maximum borrow period. If the user wants to borrow the license seat for only 1 or 2 days, the corresponding date/time for that period should be set.
Users cannot borrow a license seat for more than the 168 hour barrier that is set in the license file and in the license server logic. If an extended borrow time is required, please submit an issue to Intel® Premier Support at https://premier.intel.com/ under product 'Download, Licensing and Registartion' providing a jsutification of why you need to extend the borrow time beyond 7 days.

After running this command, the customer should see the following:

lmutil - Copyright (c) 1989-2004 by Macrovision Corporation. All rights reserved.
Setting LM_BORROW=3-oct-2011:INTEL:06-oct-2011:CCompL


5) If the above steps are successful, you are now ready to borrow a seat by running the client application (e.g. – Composer XE, Vtune Amplifier XE, Inspector XE, etc). The FLEXlm feature will be borrowed when you run the client/application and a successful check-out happens. As soon as the first license is checked out, the server log file will confirm the borrowed feature with the following message in the log file:

14:35:14 (INTEL) OUT: "I3F97C15E" User1@Host1
14:35:14 (INTEL) OUT: "CCompL" User1@Host1

Note that there are no corresponding IN entries in the server log. This is different behavior than a normal check-out where corresponding to every two OUT entries in the server log file, you will also see two IN entries after the OUT entries after the application exits.


6) Verify that the FLEXlm product feature was really borrowed by running the following command on the client system:

lmutil lmborrow –status

Example for borrowing a seat for the Intel C++ Compiler for Linux*:

lmutil lmborrow –status
lmutil - Copyright (c) 1989-2004 by Macrovision Corporation. All rights reserved.

Vendor Feature Expiration
______ ________ __________

INTEL CCompL 6-Oct-11 23:59

NOTE: Before the Borrow period expires, the product will always get the license from the local storage for the Borrowed license seat when it tries to check-out license. The Client system on which the product is used does not need to be attached to FLEXlm* license host server.


7) Disconnect the client system from the server network. Now with the borrowed license, you can use the software application with the borrowed license.

NOTE: After the Borrow period expires, the product license seat will no longer to be able to check-out the license from local storage. Instead, the client system must be “attached” to the FLEXlm* license host server to check-out a product license seat.


8) Run the following command to return a borrowed license:

lmutil lmborrow -return -c server.lic featurename

Example:
lmutil lmborrow -return -c server.lic CCompL
lmutil - Copyright (c) 1989-2009 by Macrovision Corporation. All rights reserved.

On the FLEXlm server side, you will see the following message in the log file for the borrowed feature which was returned. This message is different compared to a normal check-in.

14:40:17 (INTEL) REMOVING User1@Host1:/dev/pts/0 from CCompL by administrator request.

14:40:17 (INTEL) IN: "CCompL" User1@Host1 (USER_REMOVED)
14:40:17 (INTEL) IN: "I3F97C15E" User1@Host1 (USER_REMOVED)


9) Run the following command to verify that the license was returned successfully back to the server:

lmutil lmborrow -status

Example:
./lmutil lmborrow -status
lmutil - Copyright (c) 1989-2009 by Macrovision Corporation. All rights reserved.

Note: If you try to return a license which has not been borrowed, you will see a message like this:

./lmutil lmborrow -return -c server.lic CCompL
lmutil - Copyright (c) 1989-2009 by Macrovision Corporation. All rights reserved.
Error: CCompL not currently borrowed.

Introduction : This article describes how to convert an evaluation licensed product to a fully-licensed product using the Intel Activation Tool (IAT)

Prerequisites : Any evaluation version of an Intel Developer Product.  A user should also obtain a valid Serial Number for a fully-licensed version of the product.  A Serial Number is supplied to the customer after purchase of a qualifying Intel Software product.
This applies to Windows*, Linux* and Mac OS* X versions of Intel Software tools.


Running the Application :

Users of evaluation versions of Intel Developer Products have a new tool that allows converting an evaluation licensed products to fully licensed products.  The “Activation Tool” is a utility that allows a user of an evaluation product to enter a valid product Serial Number to convert the product to fully licensed status. 

Under Windows:  Users will find a shortcut named “Product Activation” in their Start Menu Programs Group for “Parallel Studio 2011”.

Simply click “Start->Program Files-> Intel Parallel Studio 2011-> Product Activation” shortcut in the start menu and supply a valid product serial number to convert your evaluation software to a fully licensed product.

Linux and Mac OS X: Search for 'activate' executable in your binary directory for your product.  Run the executable and supply the serial number when prompted.


Benefits : A fully-licensed product provides a user access to Premier Support and product updates on the Intel Registration Center

In addition to a supported OS and Intel redistributable libraries, the target system must have either Microsoft Visual Studio with Visual C++ libraries installed OR the Microsoft Visual C++ redistibutable library kit installed.  In addition, the target system must have the same version of Microsoft Visual C++ libraries installed at the same version ( 2005, 2008, 2010 etc ) as the version of VC++ used on the development platform when the Intel compiled application was built.  Visit the Microsoft website or search the web for "Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package" and find the appropriate version to match your development system.

The Microsoft Visual C++ redistibutable libraries OR Visual Studio with the C++ tools (libraries) may be installed before or after the Intel compiler redistributable libraries.


Installation instructions

The installation program of the redistributable package will guide you through the installation. You will need to accept the EULA and the installation will install all the libraries to the fixed directory.

The installation directory is: [Common Files]\Intel\Shared Libraries\redist\[ia32|intel64]\compiler

The installation will add the above directory to your environment variable "path" as well.

If you wish to install the redistributable package "silently", so that no output is presented to the user, run the executable with the following options added to the command line like:
>> w_ccompxe_redist_ia32_2011.0.104.msi /S /V/qn

 

Testing your Installation:

After installation of the Intel redistibutable libraries AND the prerequisite Microsoft Visual C++ redistributables or Visual Studio with C++ tools and libraries, try to run your Intel-compiled binary.  If there are any issues, please try to determine the missing DLLs or libraries using a tool such as Dependency Walker.  If you are still having issues, please consult the Intel User Forums:

C++:  http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-c-compiler/

Fortran:  http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-visual-fortran-compiler-for-windows/


Links to the redistributable packages

Note:

 

  • The redistributable library package: this is intended for end users. It contains two .msi installation files: one .msi is for IA-32 applications; one .msi is for Intel® 64 architecture applications.
  • The redistributable merge module: this is intended for developers who create the application installation program. It contains two .msm installation merge files:  one .msm is for the installation program of an IA-32 application. another .msm is for the installation program of an Intel 64 architecture application.
  • The redistributable packages contain the redistributable files from Intel C++ Compiler and Intel Visual Fortran Compiler only. The Intel® Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP), Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL) or Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB) redistributable files are not included.

  1. Find your Serial Number (SN)
  2. Register the SN ; After registration, the Registration Center will take you to the downloads page where you can select the product files for the version(s) you desire. You will also receive an email with a copy of your .lic license file attached. Save this email as a backup of your .lic license file.
  3. Setup a Support Account if your product license is eligible for Intel Premier Support.  
  4. Download your product files from the Intel Registration and Download center or use your "boxed" product CD.

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

If you have a counted (floating) license, you must do following to install and configure your License Host Server system and your client systems:

I. Set up the license host server system
  1. Read the Intel License Manager for FLEXlm* User's Guide
  2. Be sure you are using the system for the license host server that you defined in your floating or nodelocked license(s) when you registered them, i.e., using the system that corresponds to the host name and host id you specified for your license(s)
  3. Download the correct Intel FLEXlm server for license host server system
  4. Install the FLEXlm server:
    • after installation, the license server should start running automatically
    • To manually start or stop the FLEXlm license server, please refer to the FLEXlm user's guide
  5. If you have three redundant license host servers specified in your floating or nodelocked licenses, make sure you have checked the requirements in the Redundancy Server Notes article.
II. Install the Intel software 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, follow the simple steps below.  Do not use FLEXlm* License Manager for a single user license.

  1. The easiest way to install is to use your serial number. You can find the serial number in the email confirmation received when you purchased the product. See this KB on where to find your serial number.
  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

NOTE: For performance libraries (Intel(R) Integrated Performance Primitives, Intel(R) Threading Building Blocks, and Intel(R) Math Kernel Library), and other Intel software tools products, license check-out is only done during product installation.

All compiler floating license seats are available on a first-come first-served basis for check-out by any number of compiler products installed on client systems that have been configured to check-out floating license seats from the license host server system.

However if all license seats are allocated for the requested compiler product, additional users need to wait for one of the client systems to release a floating license seat. This is automatically done in our compiler and debugger products, and means that some users may experience some compiling delay. The wait time for a compiler license seat is "forever", until a license seat is available. The wait time is not configurable by end user.

User may configure their license server to make some features "linger" a period of time so that the license will be "reserved" during this period after the license is returned by the compiler. No linger time is setting by default, so the compiler license seat is usually eturned immediately.


To determine how many floating license seats are checked-out, use the command lmstat. This can be executed on the server using -c argument.

1. On the license host server system:

For Linux execute << lmstat -a -c <license file> >> where <license file> is the name and path to the floating license file.

For Windows execute << lmutil lmstat -a -c <license file> >> where <license file> is the name and path to the floating license file.


2. On a client system, where the appropriate INTEL_LICENSE_FILE has been correctly set to point to the license host server system:

For Linux execute << lmstat -a >>

For Windows execute << lmutil lmstat -a >>


3. The Macrovision FLEXnet (new name for FLEXlm) End User Guide provides details and examples on using the lmstat command. The guide from Macrovision can be found at (version 11.4):

or at (version 10.8):

4. Here's some example output below for Linux using Intel's FLEXlm

license host manager. The output includes information about total number of licenses issued and total number in use.

$ ./lmstat -a
