HI Andy, (adding in others from ICT to close the circle) Thanks for this I didn't know this and neither did the groups in Physics who use them. The current license server that certainly SPAT (Space and Atmos, PHysics) and I suspect others use is about to be decommissioned. I have said that we need a replacement for the server but if we now have a more general license then perhaps a different solution makes sense. I an away this week but may be we can get together next week to sort this out. For me Monday is packed and while Tuesday is busy I have a few gaps so perhaps sometime between midday and 3pm on Tuesday? Best, david On 30/08/2023 13:02, Richards, Andrew wrote:

Just to note for those that don't know, RCS picked up the license costs for Intel Compilers support last year to centralise costs.
Technically Intel Compilers are now free and you only pay for support for access to older versions.
Anyone who was listed as Intel compiler user and had previously bought them we contacted last year based on a list given to us by Intel.
However, anyone not on that list or looking to buy them afresh should be aware of this.

Hi David
Some of the plasma are still using intel compilers quite a lot.
Best wishes

Hi David, (CC: Dept. Computing)
SPAT use the Intel Fortran compiler still. There are some code which don't readily compile with the GNU versions, and this is something we still use for radiative transfer codes written and provided by colleagues in the USA.
Best wishes, Rich

Hi All,
How many groups still use the Intel compilers? Many years these ago these were very important but I don't know if anybody is still relying on it?
Best, david
