Evaluation versus Commercial Package FAQ

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 11:52:56 -0700

What is the difference between the Intel® IPP evaluation package and the commercial package?
The only difference between the evaluation and commercial packages are the terms listed in the license agreement. The evaluation license provides a 30-day limited time for evaluation and test purposes only. Distribution of the Intel IPP libraries is not allowed under the evaluation license agreement.

For Intel IPP versions 5.3 and later, all binary files are included in both the evaluation and commercial packages.

Note: Intel IPP evaluation versions earlier than 5.3 contained only the dynamic libraries. These versions are no longer distributed by Intel.

Is there any difference in performance when using the commercial package versus when using the evaluation package?
No. There is no difference in performance between the evaluation package and the commercial package.

I am using the evaluation package. Can I download and use Intel IPP sample code? Can I use the evaluation package to build the samples?
Yes. You can download and use Intel IPP samples during your 30-day evaluation. The samples are available for download from the Intel® Registration Center or our web site.

Do I need a commercial license to download the cryptography libraries?
No. Both evaluation and commercial customers can submit a request to access and download the Intel IPP cryptography libraries by following these instructions. You will receive a response within two business days.

Libippcpemerged.a missing from IPP Cryptography Mac installation kit

Thu, 14 May 2009 19:08:15 -0700

Version : Intel® C++ Compiler Professional Edition for Mac OS* X, version 11.1.029, and the associated Intel®IPP cryptography installation kit

Operating System : Mac OS* X

Problem Description:

Libippcpemerged.a is missing from the Intel® IPP cryptography installation kit.

Detailed description: After installation of the Intel® C++ Compiler Professional Edition for Mac OS* X, version 11.1.029, with the associated Intel® IPP cryptography kit, an application built with the "-ipp=crypto" option will result in a linker failure because the library libippcpemerged.a does not exist in the directory /Developer/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/029/Frameworks/ipp/lib. This library does exist in the base installation in /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/029/Frameworks/ipp/lib.

Resolution Status :

Workaround: Copy libippcpemerged.a from /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/029/Frameworks/ipp/lib/ to /Developer/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/029/Frameworks/ipp/lib/. Or you can add the path /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/029/Frameworks/ipp/lib/ to your link command.

How do I Upgrade Intel® IPP from evaluation to commercial license

Thu, 09 Oct 2008 10:35:55 -0700

The installation steps for Intel® IPP are described in the documents How to Install Intel® IPP for Windows* and How to Install Intel® IPP for Linux*. The procedure is the same when using an evaluation license or a commercial license.

The following steps are for users who are ready to upgrade from an evaluation license to a commercial license.

Windows:

If you have an evaluation license and decide to upgrade to a commercial license, you must complete the following steps after obtaining the commercial serial number:

Register the new serial number at https://registrationcenter.intel.com.
Replace the evaluation .lic file with the new commercial .lic file to the license directory (default license directory: C:Program FilesCommon FilesIntelLicenses)
Reinstallation is not required.

Linux:

If you have an evaluation license and decide to upgrade to a commercial license, you must complete the following steps after obtaining the commercial serial number:

Register the new serial number at https://registrationcenter.intel.com.
Replace the evaluation .lic file with the new commercial .lic file to the license directory (default license directory:/opt/intel/licenses)
Reinstallation is not required.

Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) for Linux* - Error when installing Intel® IPP for Linux* from CD

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Symptom(s):

The error below occurs under the following conditions:

A commercial license file is copied to the system in a nondefault directory
User chooses option 2 of the Intel IPP for Linux* CD installation program, "Please type a selection or License file name or port@hostname"

"ERROR: A valid FLEXlm license key for this product is needed before installation."

Solution:

Check that your license is valid. If your license is valid, copy the license file to the /opt/intel/licenses directory before installation of the product from the CD.

This problem will be fixed in an upcoming version of the Intel IPP.
