Issue with product license

Accelerated Computing HPC Compilers Legacy PGI Compilers
1

Hi,

I have recently requested a license for PGI Accelerator Fortran/C/C++ Workstation, 018AL-WD-F, through nVidia OpenACC ToolKit program.

Currently I have installed the packaged on my computer running Ubuntu 15.04 64bit system. I have not been successful with the permanent license file I generated online. When I issue the pgfortran command, there would be an error prompt:

pgfortran: LICENSE MANAGER PROBLEM: No such feature exists.
Feature: pgi-f95-lin64
License path: /opt/pgi/license.dat:
FlexNet Licensing error:-5,357
For further information, refer to the FlexNet Licensing documentation, available at "www.flexerasoftware.com"

To debug the problem, I have requested to delete the previously created permanent license. After the old license was deleted, I created a new license using PGI’s online interface, and I did not change the default values showed up on the web page. I then placed the new license.dat in the pgi folder, changed the access privileges to 644. However this still did not work. I finally tried to use the 90 days trial license sent to me in email earlier, and everything worked fine.

I would appreciate if you could take a look at my account and advise on how I should modify the installation or the license file. Thanks!

Hello,

The license problem you are seeing is the result of our mistakes.

  1. The OTK you are using should include the PGI 15.7 release, and not
    the PGI 15.9 release. We have restored 15.7 to the website.
    We will be releasing a new OTK in the future.

  2. The license generated had a flaw in it that did not manifest itself until
    release 15.9 came out. We have corrected this problem.

So use the 15.7 based OTK, and go online and ‘display’ the license.
It now looks like this.

And things should work now.
