I attempted to install Intel® Parallel Studio XE Cluster Edition for Windows (update 4) on a Windows 10 machine but it wouldn't accept our (Linux) floating licence server settings -- which have worked fine for the last five years. This seems to be because we're updating from 2013 to 2017 and we need a newer version of the server software.
I've installed Intel Software License Manager for Linux from

# ./lmgrd -v
lmgrd v11.14.1.1 build 201886 x64_lsb - Copyright (c) 1988-2017 Flexera Software LLC. All Rights Reserved
I downloaded a 2-user floating XE-Composer C++ license file configured for this server. The license file includes 'Comp-CW'
At the Windows end I've downloaded a client-for-floating-server XE-Composer C++ license file (which contains a 'SERVER' line), using Intel Software Manager 'Licenses' tag
But icl.exe says 'Error: A license for (Comp-CW) could not be found.'

For further information, refer to the FlexNet Licensing documentation,

If I stop the Linux license server, icl.exe error changes:
Error: A license for Comp-CW is not available now (-15,10,10061)
A connection to the license server could not be made.
-- a brief web search suggests that the problem is server version related; but this is the only Linux-based licensing server you provide. What to do ?
