Can I redistribute the Intel
Math Kernel Library with my application?
Yes. When you purchase Intel MKL, you receive rights to redistribute computational
portions of Intel MKL with your application. The evaluation versions of Intel MKL
do not include redistribution rights. The list of files that can be redistributed
is provided in redist.txt included in the Intel MKL distribution with product license.
Are there royalty fees for
using Intel MKL?
No. There is no per copy royalty fee. Check the Intel MKL end user license agreement
(EULA)
for more details.
What files am I allowed
to redistribute?
In general, the redistributable files include the linkable files (.DLL and .LIB
files for Windows*, .SO and .A files for Linux*). With your purchase of Intel MKL
(and updates through the support service subscription), you receive the redist.txt
file which outlines the list of files that can be redistributed. The evaluation
versions of Intel MKL do not include redistribution rights. See
EULA for all terms.
Is there a limit to the number
of copies of my application that I can ship which include Intel MKL redistributables?
You may redistribute an unlimited number of copies of the files that are found in
the directories defined in the Redistributables section of the
EULA.
How many copies of Intel MKL do I need
to secure for my project team or company?
The number of Intel MKL copies that you need is determined by the number of developers
who are writing code, compiling, and testing using Intel MKL API, For example, five
developers in an organization working on building code with Intel MKL will require
five Intel MKL licenses. View the
EULA for complete details.
Do I need to get a license for each machine
being used to develop and test applications using Intel MKL library?
The number of licenses for Intel MKL that you need are determined by the number
of developers in your organization. These can be deployed on any number of machines
on which the application is built and/or tested as long as there is only the number
of licensed copies in use at any given time. For example a development team of five
developers using ten machines simultaneously for development and test activities
with Intel MKL, will be required to get ten licenses of Intel MKL. View the
EULA for complete details.
Do I need to buy an Intel MKL license for each copy of our software that
we sell?
No, there is no royalty fee for redistributing Intel MKL files with your software.
By licensing Intel MKL for your developers, you have rights to distribute the Intel
MKL files with your software for an unlimited number of copies. For more information,
please refer to the
EULA.
Where can I view the Intel MKL license
agreement before making a decision to purchase the product?
The number of copies of Intel MKL that you need is determined by the number of developers
who are writing code, compiling, and testing using the Intel MKL API, as well as
the number of build machines involved in compiling and linking, which need the full
Intel MKL development tools file set. See
EULA for all terms.
The End User License Agreement (EULA)
for Intel® Software Development Products has a clause referring to Third Party Programs.
Does the Intel® Math Kernel Library (MKL) product include any third party or open
