Problem:
I have a valid full license for the Intel software development product. Can I get older version installed with this license? If yes, how?

Resolution : 
Yes, you can. Please do the following:

  1. If you have not done so, download the older version with the instructions on How do I get an older version of an Intel(R) Software Development Product; Skip to the step 2 if you have older version downloaded on your local machine;
  2. Skip to step 3 if the license is registered; if you have not registered the license, please register your serial number at Intel(R) Software Development Registration Center to make sure the license file is generated;
  3. Copy the license file to the default system directory where the product will be installed; Example License file location:
    • On Windows* \Program Files\Common Files\Intel\Licenses\
    • On Linux* /opt/intel/licenses/
    • On Mac* /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses
  4. Start the installation;
  5. Instead of providing a serial number, select the Provide the full path of license file option;
  6. Provide the complete path to the license file and include the license file name in the path. For example:
    • On Windows* c:\Program Files\Common Files\Intel\Licenses\w_cc_cd_eval.lic
    • On Linux /opt/intel/licenses/l_cc_cd_eval.lic
    • On Mac* /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses/m_cc_cd_eval.lic

The installation should then proceed normally.
