Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2017
Deliver Top C++, Fortran*, and Python* Application Performance with Less Effort
-
Faster code: Boost application
performance that scales on today’s and next-gen
processors.
-
Create code faster: Use a toolset that
simplifies creating fast, reliable parallel
code.
Your software needs to run faster. It performs tasks
that need to get done sooner, not later―including
big data analytics, image analysis, machine learning
applications, time-critical financial analysis, and
simulations. Intel® Parallel Studio XE is a software
development suite that helps boost application
performance by taking advantage of the
ever-increasing processor core count and vector
register width available in Intel®
Xeon® processors, Intel®
Xeon Phi™ processors and coprocessors, and other
compatible processors. |

Licensing
If you have an
Active Maintenance Support Subscription you will be able to download the
equivalent new version of your products. Please contact us to ensure you receive
the right licensing advice for your needs.
These are the main
licensing schemes available for Intel software products:
-
Named user licence
Named-user licences are
purchased and licensed on an individual user basis. The number of developers
requiring access must equal the number of licences owned by the
organisation.
-
Floating licence
A floating licence
allows several users to share licences at the same time on several systems.
The licences are managed from a licensing server, as soon as a licence is
released from one user, another user can request it. Floating licences are
available as two-seat or five-seat licences.
-
Academic licencing
Academic licensing is
available to degree-granting institutions.
-
Volume Licence Program
Similar in style to the
Microsoft Open Value licensing scheme, Intel’s Volume Licence Program offers
an affordable way to purchase higher value suites over a three year period.
Minimum order value for the three years is the equivalent of $15,000 (i.e.
$5,000 per year) and all licences include support and maintenance for the
duration of the agreement.

Intel Premier Support
Intel Premier
Support is an Intel-hosted website where you can submit
questions, problems and other technical support issues
to Intel and view previously submitted issues. If you
have an active support services - you have access to
Intel Premier Support. There is no direct email support offered by Intel.

Renewals
Most Intel licences include a year's support. When your
support expires it's important to consider renewing your
Intel software to ensure you have access to any new versions
released. After your subscription expires, you are "locked
in" to the last version which released during your
subscription period, and you are limited in terms of
support. A renewal license allows you to extend your support
window and provides you with an upgrade path for new
versions, premier technical support and associated
resources.
Intel offers two different renewal options
Pre-expiry date renewal
A less expensive renewal if you renew before your current
licence expires. The subscription starts from the expiration
of your current licence.
Post-expiry date renewal
This renewal is if you choose to wait to renew until
after your current licence expires. The subscription starts
from the purchase date. It is available for purchase from
licence expiration to 12 months after expiration.
Intel provides a tool to help you make a better choice
about renewal and upgrades available for your purchased
product(s).
