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

Select "Close the program" to continue.

This error does not prevent the installation or uninstallation of Intel Parallel Studio 2011. It is an issue from a 3rd party tool. It does no harm to your system.

Installation instructions

The redistributable package is a .zip file that contains two redistributable setup programs (.msi): one for IA32; one for Intel 64.

The installation program will guide you through the installation. You will need to accept the license and the installation will install all the libraries to the fixed directory.

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

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

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.  
   • Check this article on getting support for multiple users using floating license.
   • More information about the 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:

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.

1. Set up the client license
   • if your client machine does not have internet access, you can borrow the license and return it after use. Check this article on details on how to borrow a license.
2. On Windows*, just run the downloaded product package program. It will automatically extract the package and start the installation.

>> w_cproX_11.1.XXX.exe


3. On Linux* or Mac OS* X, use following commands to install:

$ 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

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
