Nsight Compute is shipped together with CUDA, but it can also be downloaded as a standalone; they also sometimes release updates to it in between CUDA releases, so one might want to go and grab the latest update directly from the website in those cases. And that standalone download has been requiring a login for at least a year or two IIRC.
Sounds like the DLAGENTS thing could be an interesting work around.

When validation fails this is usually because nvidia silently updated a minor version link. The download link redirects to the new minor version. In this case I need to update the pkgver (e.g. 2021.1 -> 2021.1.1) and the checksum.
When this happens, please flag the package as out of date. Thank you.
