From Intel's FAQ on their non-commercial license

Q: Our use is non-commercial, but I am part of a group project all needing to use these products. What can I do?
A: Non-commercial license is an individual-use license, and as such each member of the group project would need to obtain their own copy of the product and license to use it in the project. In addition, to qualify for the non-commercial license the individual in the group project applying for the non-commercial license cannot receive any form of compensation for working on the group project.

Q: I am engaged in research projects. Can I qualify to use the noncommercial product?
A: If you, as an individual, are receiving any form of compensation for the research project (i.e., you receive a salary, or funding, etc.) you do not qualify for a non-commercial license. However, if your research is a personal project for which you are not getting compensated in any way, you do qualify for a noncommercial-use license.

https://software.intel.com/en-us/faq/licensing#compilers-differences
Q: What are the differences between evaluation, free, and paid compilers?
A: The key difference between evaluation, free and paid compilers is related to the licensing terms and associated support for the compilers. See the End User License Agreement (EULA) for distinctions between the three. Products under an evaluation license will cease to function at the end of the evaluation period. Free products are only valid for the granted license period. All other products will continue to function beyond the licensed support period.
An evaluation license is not renewable. Once your free license had expired you must qualify for a new license. Paid licenses are eligible for support renewal. See the Purchasing, Renewing, and Upgrading FAQ for more information on renewals. Functionally, the evaluation and free tools compilers are identical to the paid compilers of the same version.
