We use both the portland (v 5.1-2) and Intel (7.1 / 8.0).
Both seem to work fine, although the intel gives better performance
(on x86)....

We were a little iffey about going with intel due to the way they
do the node locked licencing, untill we found someone (Custom Solutions)
that would sell us a floating license.

Its possible to install the latest version (ftp://ftp.pgroup.com/x86/)
and create a 1 monthevaluation license to check if a newer version works.
(Note binaries will stop working after the end date too...)

Think we just bought through (sales \at pgroup.com), or perhaps 
(susie.boyd \at st.com)...

You then get a username/password to generate a license file on their
website...
