If for some reason you do not see the new toolbar from the Intel C++ Compiler, you can try following to fix the problem.

The IDE integration of Intel C++ Compiler is installed under <install-dir>\Compiler\VS Integration\C++\. You should see files below:

├─VS2005
│  │  icUtil.dll
│  │  integrate.bat
│  │  IntelPkg.dll
│  └  OptPkg.dll
│
└─VS2008
    │  icUtil.dll
    │  integrate.bat
    │  IntelPkg.dll
    └  OptPkg.dll

The file "integrate.bat" handles registration/unregistration of the IDE integation module.
So in case the IDE integration of Intel Parallel Composer is not showing up within the Visual Studio IDE, you can use the "integrate.bat" to help isolating the problem. Here is the steps:
1) copy/paste integrate.bat to "ide_install.bat"; and close Visual Studio(s)
2) edit "ide_install.bat" with Notepad to remove the "/s" (silent) option of the "regsvr32" cmd
3) run "ide_install.bat"
    >> ide_install "VS_Install_Dir" /u
    >> ide_install "VS_Install_Dir" /u
    >> ide_install "VS_Install_Dir"

For Intel Parallel Studio's IDE integration
If for some reason you do not see the new toolbars from the Intel Parallel Composer, Intel Parallel Amplifier and Intel Parallel Inspector, you can try following to fix the problem.

For the IDE integration of Intel Parallel Composer
It's installed under <install-dir>\Parallel Studio\Composer\VS Integration\C++. You should see files below:

├─VS2005
│  │  icUtil.dll
│  │  integrate.bat
│  │  IntelPkg.dll
│  └  OptPkg.dll
│
└─VS2008
    │  icUtil.dll
    │  integrate.bat
    │  IntelPkg.dll
    └  OptPkg.dll

The file "integrate.bat" handles registration/unregistration of the IDE integation module.

    >> ide_install "VS_Install_Dir" /u
    >> ide_install "VS_Install_Dir" /u
    >> ide_install "VS_Install_Dir"

For the IDE integration of Intel Parallel Amplifier 
It's installed under <install-dir>\Parallel Studio\Amplifier\bin32. The file "ampl-vsreg.exe" handles the registration/unregistration of the IDE integration module. Here is the steps to help isolating IDE integration issues.
1) to find the available options: 
    >> ampl-vsreg /?
2) close Visual Studio(s)
3) to disable IDE integration of Visual Studio 2005*: (similar for Visual Studio 2008*)
    >> ampl-vsreg disable vs2005
4) to enable the IDE integration of Visual Studio 2005:
    >> ampl-vsreg integrate vs2005

For the IDE integration of Intel Parallel Inspector 
It's installed under <install-dir>\Parallel Studio\Amplifier\bin32. The file "insp-vsreg.exe" handles the registration/unregistration of the IDE integration module. Here is the steps to help isolating IDE integration issues.
1) to find the available options: 
    >> insp-vsreg /?
2) close Visual Studio(s)
3) to disable IDE integration of Visual Studio 2005*: (similar for Visual Studio 2008*)
    >> insp-vsreg disable vs2005
4) to enable the IDE integration of Visual Studio 2005:
    >> insp-vsreg integrate vs2005

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.

Environment : Microsoft* Visual Studio* versions that have installed Parallel Studio tools.


Root Cause : Tool bar is not visible, either because it is not enabled or it is obscured by other tool bars that are enabled.


Resolution : Here are some suggestions:
* Select the View->Toolbars menu to confirm that the menu option "Intel Parallel Amplifier" is available and checked. If not checked, you can select the toolbar option and the toolbar should become visible.
* It is possible that the Parallel Amplifier toolbar is installed and available but all the Visual Studio* toolbars are positioned such that the Parallel Amplifier toolbar is not prominently visible. In this case, consider dragging around some toolbars and reposition them to ensure that the Amplifier tool bar is more prominently visible. If there are toolbars that you do not use, you can deselect such toolbars to better use the toolbar space.
* Some non-English OSes may have issues. Please see this KB article for more information: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/installation-of-intel-parallel-amplifier-on-non-english-operating-systems/
* If none of the suggestions above work, please post your question on the Parallel Studio forum.

*Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.

This section explains the terms that Intel uses to describe the platforms in its documentation, installation procedures and support site.  Note: not all Intel software development tools support all three platforms.

IA-32 Architecture refers to systems based on 32-bit processors generally compatible with the Intel Pentium® II processor, (for example, Intel® Pentium® 4 processor or Intel® Xeon® processor), or processors from other manufacturers supporting the same instruction set, running a 32-bit operating system.

Intel® 64 Architecture (formerly Intel® EM64T)refers to systems based on IA-32 architecture processors which have 64-bit architectural extensions, (for example, Intel® Core™2 processor family), running a 64-bit operating system such as Microsoft Windows Vista* x64 or a Linux* "x86_64" variant. If the system is running a 32-bit  operating system, then IA-32 architecture applies instead. Systems based on AMD* processors running a 64-bit operating system are also supported by Intel compilers for Intel® 64 architecture applications.

64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. Consult with your system vendor for more information.

IA-64 Architecture refers to systems based on the Intel® Itanium® processor running a 64-bit operating system.
