Do I need to buy multiple copies of FCP to get QMaster to work?

Hi all,
To do a quick-batch from Compressor, do I need to buy two copies of FCP Studio?
I tried a Quickbatch for the first time across my two machines. (Yes I DO have the same installation of FCP Studio on both machines... what was I gonna do, buy a new copy of Studio when I upgraded to a G5?) But I digress...
I set up QMaster on both machines, launched a batch from within compressor on my G5, then I saw FCP automatically start to launch on the G4 and (of course) the process interrupted because FCP saw the same serial number on the network.
I have no idea why FCP launched on the G4.... but it was fun to see something happening.
So, am I screwed? Am I supposed to buy two copies of the software to use the node rendering?

We talked to a tech at apple before we made a purchase of 4 quads, and he told us that we do not need fcp on each. Also called pro video suppport and they said the same thing. But I have just finished setting up the cluster, and when I export to the cluster directly from fcp, the batch fails almost instantly. If I enable only one of the nodes (this one has FCP on it) in the cluster, when I export from FCP on a workstation, FCP opens up on the node and starts doing it's thing, but adding any nodes without fcp it fails. So I'm starting to think you do need fcp on every node. Or I may just be doing something wrong, who knows. Will be on the phone with apple monday.

  • Do I need to buy Missing Sync for Palm to get memos to work

    Do I need to buy Missing Sync for Palm to get memos to work for my palm? Every thing else worked just fine, but my Memo Conduit which is Disabled Conduits now.
    Brian

    Memos using those conduits are stored in and access using the Palm Desktop.
    I too think that the Missing Sync for Palm OS is a vastly superior way to synchronize contacts, events, memos, tasks and other data that iSync is, but you can simply restore Palm Desktop memo synchronization if that is all you want to do.

  • I need to buy multiple copies of Lion

    How do I do it on the App Store with my Mac?
    Or, do I have to go to n computers and do it on each?

    Are you asking because you are a commercial or educational purchaser?
    If so, they have info on that, here: http://www.apple.com/mac/volume-licensing/
    Otherwise, you can install it on as many Macs as you own/control that have Snow Leopard installed.
    There have been discussions about copying the download before installing so you don't have to download again, but I don't know if that works.
    As the Future Progammer stated, you just log into the Mac App Store with the AppleID you used to purchase the first copy. Lion should show up in the Purchased tab and allow you to Install.

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

  • Need to print multiple copies

    Hi Friends,
    Anybody can give some idea or suggestion how to print multiple copies of an invoice for the same output type.
    Regards
    raju

    Hi
    In this case you need to change the program, here you can know the message type and so you can decide how many times a document has to be printed:
    DATA: COPIES TYPE I.
    IF NAST-KSCHL = .....
    ELSE.
    ENDDO.
    DO COPIES TIMES.
    > PRINT THE DOCUMENT
    ENDDO.

  • Helping my aunt with tech support. Do I need to buy 2 copies of Remote Desktop? (One for each of us?)

    I just bought Remote Desktop to help my aunt who needs tech support all the time. Can I go to her house and install it on her computer by signing into her App Store? Or can I download an installer for her computer somehow? Or do I have to buy 2 copies for this one task of helping her?
    We both have mac book pros running latest Yosemite.
    Thanks for any advice!

    You likely don't need Remote Desktop. 
    If you are in the same house/building or on the same Local Area Network (LAN) you will be able to connect to her without installing anything on her computer.  If you are not in the same house/building or on the same LAN then you will not be able to connect to her.
    Apple Remote Desktop is an application which provides remote support options for Businesses and organizations to administer their 2-1000+ Macs on the same network, it is not useful for connections that are actually "remote" from your physical location. 
    If you want that functionality, you can provide screen sharing support for free with Messages in your Applications folder.  Simply start an iMessage conversation between two macs and you can find the screen sharing session button in the "Details" section at the top of the conversation.

  • I have a program that runs in Java Console. I need to run multiple copies of the program. I can't do this with tabs. Can I do it with separate windows/processes

    The program in question was implemented as a Java applet that runs in a browser. The developer says it must run under the Java Console and that I cannot run more than one copy of it in a given browser technology (e.g., Firefox); but I can run multiple copies if I use, eg, Firefox for one, IE 32 bit for another, Chrome for a 3rd and IE 64 bit for a 4th. I have tested this, and this does work.
    Why would it not be the case if I spawned a completely different Firefox instance/process? When asked this question, the developer said, no, you have to run a different browser implementation to get a distinct Java Console for each one.
    Does this make sense in general, or, more importantly, is it true for Firefox?
    Thanks,
    Dennis

    It is working for me if I open a second Firefox instance with its own profile by starting Firefox with the -no-remote command line switch.

  • Why does BC show that I need to buy live hosting when I should get 5 free from CC?

    I bought CC earlier today and BC still shows that I need to buy live hosting. Why?

    Hey there,
    Reach out to BC support on this. It probably is to do with if you tried to use Adobe BC before with a different Adobe ID etc. There are some FAQ's in the FAQ section on this I believe. But if you reach out to support I am sure they can fix that up for you.

  • I need help with ISIGHT!  I can't get it to work with MSN!

    HI,
    My issue is this... I have AIM/AOL and I am able to see myself on webcam.. however noone else can unless they HAVE a webcam... My first question is- "DO you have to have a WEBCAM on both ends for both people to see you?" Does the person I am chatting with HAVE to have a webcam to see me? If so WHY? They should atleast be able to see ME if I want them to... Also if they are using windows for PC platform... can they use a pc webcam and still connect with me through my isight although I am on a mac?
    My second major ISSUE is.. WHY is the isight only compatible with AOL/AIM? I was told when I bought this it would be compatible with MSN Messenger for windows AND the MAC version... I have both and the isight does not show up on it... CAN ISIGHT be connected to msn messenger for MAC??? PLEASE help me!
    I called APPLE tech support and they couldn't even help me! They told me to call Microsoft! Anyhow- one guy did say he was able to get his ISIGHT working with the MSN messenger for MAC platform.. do you have ANY idea how to do that?? The thing is ALL my freinds are on PC's and have MSN messenger..
    ALSO- someone on mac rumors told me to look for a guy names RALPH! Said you know A LOT about mac and pc compatibility! PLEASE HELP
    Bottom line - I want to use isight with msn so my msn pc friends can share webcam... I also have virtual pc software... is it easier to just get a pc webcam and do it through there? ( i tried that and it didn't work either) i need major TECH SUPPORT!
    THANK YOU

    Microsoft's Messenger for Mac (MSN) does not support webcams at all.
    I have found the best alternative to MSN to be aMSN with macam for the webcam driver (it is a cheap usb webcam). Both are free open source projects. I guess if you use an iSight you will not need macam.
    aMSN can be found here: http://amsn.sourceforge.net/
    macam can be found here: http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/
    The speed is substantially faster and it is far more stable than Mercury in my experience.
    The only difficulty is the camera is often shown as being "in use by another application". To counter this I start macam, then plug in the camera (or unplug and plug back in). Then I start aMSN.

  • Why do I need to start up Screen Sharing twice to get it to work ?

    I have an Intel Mac Mini connected to my TV, so I started using Screen Sharing from my MacBook Pro to be able to work on it when others were watching TV.
    Both Macs used to have OSX 10.5 Leopard, and everything worked fine.
    Now they both have OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard, and whenever I startup Screen Sharing, the connection-windows asking for my Name & Password comes up properly, but then it hangs... it stays in "Connecting..." for ever (litteraly).
    I'm not able to quit or force-quit the connection-window by then, so it stays in view...
    (Screen Sharing isn't even listed in the force-quit list as a running app)
    but...
    when I just try Screen Sharing again, I get connection immediately and it seems to work flawlessly...
    ...it's just that the connection-window is impossible to quit...
    it stays in view an is really annoying...
    this looks really crappy...
    can anyone tell me why I do need to startup Screen Sharing twice to get it to work ?
    Is this a bug ?
    (If so : please apple fix this a.s.a.p.)
    ...or am I doing something wrong ?
    (if so : what am I doing wrong ? and how can I get rid of this annoying screen ?)
    Thank you for your kind reply.
    Toon.B

    it's October and this really annoying problem still exists !
    the unnamed screensharing-loginwindow keeps "Connecting...", and I'm unable to shut it down...
    ...even after my screen sharing session is over
    ...even force-quitting is impossible (this 'app' just isn't showing up in the force-quit-window...)
    please Apple - fix this ; under 10.5 it was working great !
    Does anyone have any idea how to fix this ?
    (besides restarting my Mac)
    Thanks !

  • Need to run multiple copies of portal on one machine

    This is a little involved to explain so I'll try to be clear.
    Right now we have multiple developers working on our single copy of our portal
    running on one machine at another location. No good can come of this and much
    bad has already happened.
    What we need is to be able to run different copies of our portal on different
    ports on that same machine. Making a copy of the domain, changing the port and
    java.io.tmpdir just confuses the first server started when the second one goes
    RUNNING. Changing the Web Application name doesn't help either.
    It looks like it's only our stuff that gets cornfused when I set up multiple servers
    (user_projects/someDomain, user_projects/someDomain2) or multiple Web Apps (someDomain/beaApps/portalApp/webApp1,
    someDomain/beaApps/portalApp/webApp2) since I can log into the console just fine.
    The Big Idea is that we need each developer to have their own sandbox to play
    in along with a demo/test copy of our software.
    I've dug through the BEA docs and these news groups and have not found anything
    that directly pertains to our situation. The BEA docs are particularly thin on
    information pertaining to dealing with more than one developer or deploying to
    remote machines.
    Here are some of the particulars and constraints of our setup.
    We are running WebLogic Platform 7.0.0.0 on a Solaris box at another physical
    location. All access is via network. We have no root access for a variety of
    reasons.
    Oracle is used for our JDBC. No Pointbase.
    Our WebApp has a servlet as the starting point.
    We deploy an exploded version of our servlet and JSPs for convenience.
    We edit and compile our java source on Windows boxes and FTP the .class and .jsp
    files up to their proper places on the server.
    Naturally, the ideal solution would be to have more than one machine for a server.
    Right now we don't have that option.
    Thanks for any help that you can give,
    Jon Davis

    Travis,
    We tried something very similar to that. We're using WebLogic Platform 7.0.
    We only have one login on this Solaris box.
    I copied our domain (${HOME}/bea/user_projects/somePortal) to another directory
    (${HOME}/bea/user_projects/somePortal-devel) and changed the relevant XML files
    with regards to ports and installation directories.
    Maybe the UID that each server runs as is the difference........
    Maybe an earlier version of the products are more tolerant of this and what we're
    experiencing is a "feature".
    At least I know that my initial approach wasn't such a bad idea :)
    Thanks,
    Jon

    Jon,
    We do this with very little issues. I’ll take a stab at putting this
    into words.
    I suggest that you have the developers run their own instance from their
    own Solaris
    user home directory. So in /home/travis make a directory bea/app (/home/travis/bea/app)
    in the bea/app directory copy the applications, bin, StartPortal.sh,
    StopPortal.sh,
    and config directory from your current application, probably /opt/bea/wlportal4.0/.
    Then make sure that your scripts (in the developers home directory)
    all reference
    jar files in the /opt/bea/{wlportal4.0 and wlserver6.1} directory's.
    Next go
    through the /home/travis/bea/app/config/portalDomain/{config.xml & *.sh},
    /home/travis/bea/app/bin/unix/*.sh,
    and /home/travis/bea/app/application/portalDomain/{applicationDir}/WEB-INF/web.xml
    and start and stop scripts to change all “application” directory references
    to
    relative pathing from the /home/travis/app/bea directory also change
    all references
    of the 7501 and 7502 ports to another port for each developer.
    Hope this is readable and helps

  • I just purchased an ipad with wifi do i need to buy something else in order to get wifi? i have internet at home but no wifi connection

    I just purchased an Ipad mini with wifi. Do i need an additional piece of equipment to make this work? we have Internet but it is through cable.

    Yes. You need a router for WiFi now. There are many, many routers on the market. You need to run the cable into the router to set up a WiFi network. I have no idea where you live, but in the U.S., stores like Best Buy and Radio Shack can help you with this.
    https://www.google.com/search?q=wireless%20routers
    Apple has one called AirPort Express that is portable if you travel and have a need for a router on the road.
    http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/
    They also offer an AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule which would probably be overkill for you but you can check them out here.
