Problem : 
Only one version of Intel® Parallel Studio can be integrated with any one version of Microsoft Visual Studio* at a time. Therefore, if you have Intel Parallel Studio installed on your system and then install a different version along side of it, the newly installed version will be integrated into Visual Studio in place of the previously installed version - this means you will see the newly installed Parallel Studio toolbars, menu items, etc. 

You can control which version of Intel Parallel Studio you use with a particular Visual Studio by performing the steps outlined below.

Environment: 
Windows systems with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, 2008, and/or 2010 installed along with multiple versions of Intel Parallel Studio.

Root Cause: 
Limit of one Parallel Studio integrated with a version of Visual Studio.

Resolution: 
You will need to change the version of Parallel Studio that is integrated with a particular version of Visual Studio.  This will need to be done for each component of the Parallel Studio that you have installed. 

1. Begin by removing the integration from the version that is currently integrated.

For  Intel Parallel Amplifier or Intel Parallel Inspector, start by opening the Command Prompt window for the version of Parallel Studio you wish to disable. For example:

Now invoke the appropriate script to disable the integration:

For Intel Parallel Composer use the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs for the version you want to disable:

Select Modify and disable the following options:

○ Integrated Documentation
○ Intel Parallel Debugger Extension
○ Integration(s) in Microsoft Visual Studio

            Select Next > Modify

2. Enable the Visual Studio integration.   

For  Intel Parallel Amplifier or Intel Parallel Inspector, start by opening the Command Prompt window for the version of Parallel Studio you wish to enable, then invoke the appropriate script to enable the integration:

For Intel Parallel Composer use the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs entry for the version you want to enable:

Select Modify and enable the following options:

○ Integrated Documentation
○ Intel Parallel Debugger Extension
○ Integration(s) in Microsoft Visual Studio

The next steps are different based on your license type.

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

Save the license file sent to you by email to:

          • On Windows*: <installation drive>\Program Files\Common Files\Intel\Licenses
          • On Linux*: /opt/intel/licenses
          • On MAC OS* X: /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses
            Note: if the INTEL_LICENSE_FILE environment variable is defined, copy the file to the directory specified by the environment variable, instead.


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

- Set up the license host server system
- Read the Intel License Manager for FLEXlm* User's Guide
- Download the correct Intel FLEXlm server for license host server system
- 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
