How to activate or install a product on a second system not connected to the internet

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0800

If you have a single user license that you activated on one system and you want to do the same on a second system not connected to the internet, you can do that by using remote activation or making the license file available on the second system. We do not track (associate) a system with an installation, so a product with a Single User license can be installed anywhere. Single-user license allows the license owner to install the product on multiple systems. However, only ONE copy of the software may be in use at any one time. Please see End User License Agreement for your reference.

How to change the Parallel Studio version integrated into Visual Studio

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:00:00 -0700

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.

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:

To open an Intel Parallel Studio 2011 command prompt in the Visual Studio 2005 mode:

Start > All Programs > Intel Parallel Studio 2011 > Command Prompt > IA 32 Visual Studio 2005 mode.

To open an Intel Parallel Studio command prompt in the Visual Studio 2008 mode:

Start > All Programs > Intel Parallel Studio > Command Prompt > IA 32 Visual Studio 2008 mode.

Now invoke the appropriate script to disable the integration:

Tool	Visual Studio 2005	Visual Studio 2008	Visual Studio 2010
Intel Parallel Amplifier	ampl-vsreg disable vs2005	ampl-vsreg disable vs2008	ampl-vsreg disable vs2010
Intel Parallel Amplifier 2011	ampl-vsreg --disable 2005	ampl-vsreg --disable 2008	ampl-vsreg --disable 2010
Intel Parallel Inspector	insp-vsreg disable vs2005	insp-vsreg disable vs2008	insp-vsreg disable vs2010
Intel Parallel Inspector 2011	insp-vsreg --disable 2005	insp-vsreg --disable 2008	insp-vsreg --disable 2010

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

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:

Tool	Visual Studio 2005	Visual Studio 2008	Visual Studio 2010
Intel Parallel Amplifier	ampl-vsreg integrate vs2005	ampl-vsreg integrate vs2008	ampl-vsreg integrate vs2010
Intel Parallel Amplifier 2011	ampl-vsreg --integrate 2005	ampl-vsreg --integrate 2008	ampl-vsreg --integrate 2010
Intel Parallel Inspector	insp-vsreg integrate vs2005	insp-vsreg integrate vs2008	insp-vsreg integrate vs2010
Intel Parallel Inspector 2011	insp-vsreg --integrate 2005	insp-vsreg --integrate 2008	insp-vsreg --integrate 2010

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 the Visual Studio versions you would like to enable integration with.
Select Next > Modify
