 ==== Installing the compilers ====
-To install the compilers
+To install the compilers, just type:
+  eb intel-VERSION.eb -r
+where you substitute //VERSION// with the actual version you want to install, e.g. ''2017a''.
+In case of problems, you can refer to:

+===== Troubleshooting =====
+==== The license file is unusable ====
+If EasyBuild keeps crashing despite having done everything to make the license file available, you can quickly hack the ''intelbase.py'' EasyBlock to force it to use a serial number. Here are the steps to follow for EasyBuild 3.4.0:
+  - Find out or remember the installation path of EasyBuild (we will call it ''$EASYBUILD_PREFIX''.
+  - Edit ''$EASYBUILD_PREFIX/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easybuild_easyblocks-3.4.0-py2.7.egg/easybuild/easyblocks/generic/intelbase.py''.
+  - Insert the following at line 301: <code>silent = "ACTIVATION_TYPE=serial_number\nACTIVATION_SERIAL_NUMBER=YOUR_SERIAL_NUMBER\n"</code> where you replace //YOUR_SERIAL_NUMBER// by the serial number you received from Intel. Be careful to use the exact same indentation as the former line 301.
