Okay, I am having huge difficulties figuring this out.

Which version am I supposed to download for Visual Fortran Education?

I have downloaded 7.2.5 and installed, but the license manager keeps telling me that I do not have a valid product (says 8.0 > 7.2). My license is for 7.2, but I can't figure this out.

What's going on?

Hi HolyGeneralK,

Can you please double check that you didn't accidentally download the 8.0 PVF package? If so, we can either update your license to 8.0 or you'll need to download the 7.2 package.

Thanks,
Mat

I think I have the same type of error.

I received a DVD copy of Visual Fortran for Education at the SC'08 conference in Austin.

It installed fine...it is version 8.

But when I registered the PIN and got the license file, the license file version is for 7.2.

I had to manually start my license server...but that is ok.

So when I start VS 2008 and create a new Fortran project, an error message box is displayed indicating that "8 > 7.2".

Could someone please update my account so I can get an "8" license file?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Mike,

We're in the process of updating your account so you'll be able to generate an 8.0 license key here shortly

I was able to download an older version from the archives, version 7.2, so I was able to get it to work earlier.

However, I have recently gotten a new laptop and am preparing to migrate my software over to it. However, I cannot migrate PGI Visual Fortran b/c I am locked to the original hostID.

Is there anyway I can submit the new hostID to an admin and get the following:

1) Usage on the new machine (along with NO usage on the old machine...I've actually already uninstalled it)
2) Upgrade to the latest version


Thanks!
