Are you installing as root?  In that case, the compiler would create (if necessary) /opt/intel/licenses/ in order to copy the license there.  You can do the same with the license file yourself, in which case the setup assistant should offer to use it.

I created that folder and placed the license file in there.  No change.  I have admin on this machine?  My research advisor bought the compiler and then when I went to download it I used my email address.  I don't think this would cause any problems.  Do you

There is not enough information here.  Is this Linux (what distro and version) or Mac OS X (version)?

What is your package name?: should be something like l_cprof_p_11.1.038 or m_cprof_p_11.1.046

If linux, as the user you use to install the compiler can you:

touch /opt/intel/licenses/foo
or do you get a permissions error?

If Mac OS X:
touch /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses/foo
or do you get permissions error?
