Intel Common Licensing Runtime

2025.3.3 · active · verified Fri Apr 17

The `intel-cmplr-lic-rt` package provides Intel® oneAPI Runtime COMMON LICENSING components. It serves as a low-level, native runtime dependency for other Intel oneAPI tools and Python libraries that require Intel's licensing infrastructure to operate. It is not intended for direct Python API interaction or import in user code. The current version is 2025.3.3.

Common errors

```
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'intel_cmplr_lic_rt'
```
cause Attempting to import a package not designed for direct Python API interaction.

fix This package is a runtime dependency, not a library with a direct Python API. Remove the 'import intel_cmplr_lic_rt' statement from your code.
```
Intel oneAPI tool/library fails with a licensing error (e.g., 'License not found', 'Failed to initialize license runtime', or a similar error message originating from an Intel component).
```
cause An Intel oneAPI tool or dependent Python package could not find the necessary licensing runtime components provided by this package.

fix Ensure 'intel-cmplr-lic-rt' is correctly installed in your Python environment or system. You can verify its presence with 'pip install intel-cmplr-lic-rt' or 'pip list | grep intel-cmplr-lic-rt'. Reinstall if necessary to fix corrupted installations or missing files.

Warnings

gotcha This package is a low-level runtime dependency for Intel oneAPI components and does not expose a public Python API for direct import or use. Attempting to import it directly will result in a `ModuleNotFoundError` or similar.
Fix: Do not attempt to import this package in your Python code. Its installation is solely for providing underlying native components for other Intel oneAPI Python packages or tools that require it.
gotcha While installed via pip, this package primarily manages native licensing runtime components. Its presence is crucial for other Intel oneAPI tools and Python libraries that rely on Intel's licensing infrastructure to function correctly. Ensure proper installation when using other Intel oneAPI products, even if you don't directly 'import' it.
Fix: Verify that 'intel-cmplr-lic-rt' is listed in your environment's installed packages (`pip list`) if you encounter licensing-related errors with other Intel oneAPI tools or Python packages. Reinstall if it's missing or corrupted.

Imports

N/A
wrong:
```
import intel_cmplr_lic_rt
```
correct:
This package is a low-level runtime dependency for Intel oneAPI licensing and is not intended for direct Python import or interaction via a Python API. There are no exposed Python symbols.

Quickstart

The `intel-cmplr-lic-rt` package is a foundational runtime component, not a library meant for direct programming interaction. Its primary role is to ensure the necessary Intel oneAPI licensing infrastructure is present in the environment for other dependent Intel tools or Python packages to function correctly. There is no Python API or typical quickstart code for this package, as its value is in its mere presence rather than direct execution.

# The intel-cmplr-lic-rt package does not provide a direct Python API for user interaction.
# Its installation ensures that underlying native Intel oneAPI licensing runtimes are available
# for other Intel tools and Python libraries that depend on them.
# No quickstart code is applicable for direct usage.
# Ensure it is installed if other Intel oneAPI components require it:
# pip install intel-cmplr-lic-rt
