Author Topic: purchase Absoft Fortran compiler (Read 581 times)

I need a new license for an Absoft Fortran compiler. But I cannot place an order or get in touch with Absoft. Is there any possibility to get a license?

Unfortunately, Absoft will cease operations at the end of this month. See the main page at www.absoft.com .

Many thanks for your reply. I know that Absoft closes. But I need to compile a code that I cannot compile with another compiler. Thus I thought that Absoft can still in September purchase a license without any warranty. But I cannot reach any person at Absoft. No reply by email or phone. Any idea how to get access to the compiler (Linux 2022 64-bit 1 User Floating License)...?

Perhaps these folks - https://www.microway.com.au/catalog/absoft/ - or similar dealers have some in stock ....

I tried buying Absoft Fortran compiler for Linux from Hearne Software today, and they cancelled my order saying that sales of Absoft products are closed.

Hopefully a used copy would show up on eBay

If you are going to buy a copy of Absoft Pro Fortran for macOS from eBay, make sure the Pro Fortran version is new enough to support the version of macOS you are currently using. Anything earlier than Pro Fortran 2020 (v20.0) will have issues on macOS Catalina (10.15), macOS Big Sur (11.0), macOS Montery (12.0) or macOS Ventura (13.0).
