The $9,997.00 price I quoted are for the XE parallel studio versions
(C,C++,Fortran,...) as given at
http://softwarestore.ispfulfillment.com/store/Product.aspx?skupart=I23S74
(which is where the page at
http://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-sdp-home/
directs to if you select the C++ compiler for linux).
For the XE version of C++ the prices for 3-year/2-seat academic is
$6,499.00
(http://softwarestore.ispfulfillment.com/store/Product.aspx?skupart=I23S76)
and for Fortran alone is $7,800.00
(http://softwarestore.ispfulfillment.com/store/Product.aspx?skupart=I23S91)
I do not doubt that the prices you quote are also correct for a
different
product line (and I do not have anything against Intel :-)
