Does the NAG compiler support Microsoft WSL? I am also interested in the compiler purchase price for US-based academic usage in education and open-source software development. This information is hard to find on the NAG website. I requested and tried to install a trial version of the NAG compiler, but NAG apparently has a strange trial expiration policy that starts not by the time of installation but by the time of the trial request. So the trial version expired before I could even install and use it. If the price and other relevant information are sensitive and private, I would appreciate providing it in a private message (if you are a NAG team member). ---

For all inquiries, an email to [support@nag.com](mailto:support@nag.com) will get the attention of the right people. The NAG Fortran compiler in trial mode does not use internet connection and cannot communicate to NAG when you start your trial. I will forward your experience to colleagues so that people are aware of this when they request a trial licence. ---

Thanks, @themos, before I go to the NAG support team, do you also know if NAG supports Microsoft WSL? ---

As far as I know, WSL-I does not support running 32-bit programs. Some of the NAG compiler tools are 32-bit and others 64-bit. I have not tried WSL-2. ---

We have not tested the compiler under WSL. We will probably do so now that there is some interest. ---

Not answering the question directly, but I use NAG Fortran (floating license) in a Docker container with Fedora Linux. This container runs on macOS, Linux and Windows. On Windows, Docker uses WSL2. I did not test NAG Fortran in the default Ubuntu for WSL2 directly.
