I work on a number of open source projects and try to support the Linux icc compiler where possible on those projects.
To do that, last year I went through the non-commercial license process to obtain icc (as part of the parallel amplifier XE package). That went fairly smoothly. The license lasts for a year and has now expired. The renewal process isn't all clear. From my logged-in account on https://registrationcenter.intel.com I can see the old expired products but the "buy or renew" type links just lead to the general trial/buy pages.
Ultimately, I went back through the open source contributor page and clicked the Linux link at the bottom which apparently is the way for both renewals and new requests?
That was almost a month ago and I've heard nothing back by email and nothing has changed in registration center. I am not able to support new icc releases and even my older versions of icc don't work since the license has expired. I am seriously considering my support for icc as a compiler on the projects I support since the open-source licensing process isn't smooth. It is already a barrier for developers to use icc (e.g., since you have to jump through the hoops, and can't get icc with a non-commercial license on Windows), so one would hope we can avoid another barrier at renewal time.
It's understandable that Intel has been pretty busy in the new year with Meltdown & Spectre, but how can I at least get an update on the status of the renewal?
