I think you just need a license for each developer seat (each machine
you're doing development and compiling on), not for every node you're
running on.

I think we passed the F90 point of no return right around the AMBER 8
release -- going back now would be awfully painful. People have posted
about freely available GPL F90 compilers that I think are able to
compile sander, although the performance doesn't come near the intel
compilers.
