This is a policy issue, and has nothing to do with moving to
FlexLM. And it's discussed in the documentation.

The policy is that once a user has a license, they have it for 15
minutes. If you need more licenses, buy more licenses. If you need
more eval licenses, just ask.

Intel probably has a more lenient policy for their compilers, but do
keep in mind that their main business is selling chips, not selling
software. So economics apply quite differently to them.
