REgarding licensing issues involvng 'Computername' and the use of UpperCase4 vs Lowercase Letters

Does any one know if it would cause problems for the Office 365 software license to be displayed as licensed to an ALL CAPS name like 'MY-FAVORITE-PC' but the computer itself shows the computer name to be 'my-favorite-pc"?
If it does, which one should I change?  A couple of people here have had this same problem (which usually occurs when they change to using a different PC for their account) I have to Deactivate their Old PC namer and then install the licnse to
their New OC using whatever name it has.
On more than one system, this has resulted in various odd "failure to contact Microsoft server" issues when activating.  The problem continues for 7 days and then their copy of Office starts showing reed warning bards and eventually gets totally
unusable.
However, if I uninstall the office, deactivate the license, and reinstall it once again, it install just fine and acts ok but invariably at some point, the same thing occurs.
On one of them I noticed the difference in the case of the letters used in the computer name and the license name.  On others I am wondering about various software add ins for Outlook or some other 3rd part application causing the problem.  Whatever
it is, it gets extremely annoying.  Officer 365 apparently must run an activation sequence almost constantly while Office 2010 (and I presume 2013) ran it once and were done with it.
Searching Google I have found too many  possible reasons along with a lot of people who have had the same problems but no one seems to have the 100% solution.   This has only started happening since we switched to Office 365 and only
seems to occur on systems that are changed out to different ones with the same User's 365 Account which is in good standing  and has 5 available licenses of which only one is in use.
In the case of the caps vs lowercase I also wonder if changing the name to CAPS on their PC would create additional problems on its own?

Hi Questorfla,
For the Office 365 software license issue, I recommend you can post in dedicated Office 365 Forum to get a better response:

If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

  • Issue with runbook and the "&"

    I was working on a Service request/ Runbook for creating a new Shared mailbox in exchange online.  Everything worked fine when I submitted the request(s). Then I had another team member try it out on a real request and things did not work as expected. 
    Once the request was submitted and approved I would see that the runbook would attempt to start.  But there were no log entries in the runbook designer and the console showed that the job had started but there were no instance of the runbook running.  
    No errors, No Events, No indication of what was happening.
    I scrapped the runbook and recreated it as well as all the service manger stuff that when along with. I tested it and all was well.  Had co-worker test and then FUBAR.
    Long story short:
    The service request prompts for mailbox name and purpose.  The runbook get the mailbox name as a parameter the purpose goes into the description of the SR.
    So when I was testing it I was using testxxx as the mailbox name (works fine). When my co-worker tried the mailbox name was T&E ... and this would cause the problem.  As I mentioned above the runbook would appear to start then nothing.   
    It all came down the "&" that was being passed to the runbook.  
    Has anybody seen this behavior before ?  If so what is happening with the "&" that is causing the issue?

    Hi,
    The Problem with & is caused by SC Service Manager. Orchestrator is accepting the & as input for a parameter from WebServices.
    Technet states in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh519779.aspx "Special characters (such as the ampersand [&]) in the
    User Name box are not supported."I know the problem is/was also for passwords containing a $, same seems to be fpr vaules passed by the connector ...

  • Excel data source and the use of add command

    HI, Looking for suggestions on how to work with multiple inputs that cannot be joined directly.  Here's the background.
    The Report currently reads in two different Ecel files and uses 3 SQL commands to query an Oracle Database.  I need to join the 5 data sources and am having issues with the 2 excel files.  In one file I need to be able to derive a field based on another column in the file In order to create the join condition to the SQL commands.  I'd equate this to a case statement in SQL, but how goes one do that using the 'add command' feature?  What is the syntax?
    Next I would need to join (left outer) the two excel files using two fields from file A (a1, a2) and 3 fields from file B (b1,b2,b3), where a1=b1 and b2 <= a2  <= b3 when rows from A exist in B.  If row A does not exist in B then we still want it in the report and available to left outer join to the 3 oractab data sources.
    runtime is also a concern.
    Any Suggestions?

    hi Elena,
    in this case the use of subreports is not recommended. that's because you're exporting to excel and you need data in columns across the report. subreports will not, unfortunately, give you what you need.
    this would bring you back to joining the datasources. what i would recommend is looking into using 'oracle database link' to link your oracle db to excel files. here's one article as an example but you may be able to find a better one. if you have questions on this please ask them on an oracle forum as the syntax that you need will be database specific.
    a lot of databases have this type of technology which allows you to create a view to other data. sql server has 'linked servers', sap hana has 'smart data access'. essentially you are creating a non-materialized view to the external data. then this view is available on the main oracle server where you established this connection. this should be a lot easier than trying to bring a bunch of command objects together off independent datasources inside of crystal.

  • My songs are missing in the music and the used memory doesn't change. Is it a bug for IOS7? How can I fix it?

    I plugged my ipod touch 5 via usb to the pc and browsed my music on itunes. And suddenly i played some music and there's a exclamation point before the song. I haven't deleted that song or moved. And the whole album was gone. And i checked the number of songs on my ipod and it decreased without change in memory used. Is it an another BUG for ios7? is there a way to fix it?

    That indicates the song files are not corrupted.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An large "other" usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:
    How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • HT4718 FileVault 2, the Recovery System, and the use of Disk Utility

    I have FileVault 2 turned on for my Lion-equipped Powerbook Pro. When booting from the Recovery System, however, the Disk Utility thereon cannot even verify the internal HD, much less repair anything. I am aware that this is due to the encryption, of course.
    However, for external encrypted drives, all I need to do is enter the password to mount them. So is there something that one can do in order to get the Disk Utility on the Recovery System -- on this very same drive -- to recognize the main volume, in order to enable it to perform diagnostics?
    Secondarily, if I put the Powerbook Pro into target mode, and connect it to another Mac (which I have not tried yet) will I be able to mount it from the other computer if (A) It is running Lion OSX or higher, and (B) I can provide one or more of the login passwords?
    I am one who has always liked to keep my hard drives running smoothly (e.g using Disk Warrior, Drive Genius, Disk Utility...whatever). So this is a bit foreign to me to be unable to run at least basic diagnostics. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

    If you're talking about just the Recovery HD, you only need 1GB so use a 4GB USB thumb drive and the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant to create it.
    If you're talking about the ML installer (installESD.dmg) use an 8GB USB thumb drive.

    Hello,

        xmlns="http://xml.netbeans.org/examples/targetNS"

        elementFormDefault="unqualified">

                </xsd:sequence>
            </xsd:complexType>
        </xsd:element>
    </xsd:schema>I am just wondering why would someone have a nested element that is unqualified? here the "height" element.
    Can anyone explain this to me please?
    Thanks in advance,
    Julien.
    here is an instance xml document
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <person xmlns='http://xml.netbeans.org/examples/targetNS'
      xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
      xsi:schemaLocation='http://xml.netbeans.org/examples/targetNS file:/E:/dev/java/XML/WebApplicationXML/web/newXMLSchemaThree.xsd'>
    <name>toto</name>
    <age>40</age>
    <height>180</height>
    </person>

    Don't worry about it.
    There are two different styles of schemas. In one style, you define the elements, attributes, etc. at the top, and then use the "ref" form to refer to them. (I call this the "global" style.) The other style is to define elements inline where they are used. ("local" style)
    Within some bounds, they work the same and which you use is a choice of you and the tools that generate the schemas.
    A warning about the local style. It is possible to define an element in two different locations in the schema that are different. It will get past all schema validation, but it seems wrong to my sense of esthetics. With the global style, this will not happen.
    So, how did this happen? Probably one person did the schema when it only had a name and age. Then, someone else added the height element. They either used a different tool, or preferred the other style. I'm aware of no difference in the document you have described between the two styles.

  • Quality issues with Pre and the Touchstone, are you kidding?

    Hi there,
    I´m really pissed off Palm and the quality of their products:
    I got yesterday my third Palm Pre, first one had the oreo-effect (it was possible to move the slider arround 0.5 cm to the right and left), the second one had a problem on the display inside, (difficult to explain was looking like the display comes off the cover), and the third one has 6 pixels not working and the power button is shaking and it seems I will loose it in the next days.
    The Touchstone causes problems, if the battery is full, every 10 seconds it is starting to charge again. Thanks for that, my battery has now 250 loading cycles in one night. Had to use some tapes and put it on the stone and now it is working, but this can´t be the solution for that..
    Beside that, the webOS is funny and I really like it, but it is a shame. Apple did a lot wrong with the first iPhone, like missing copy&paste and MMS, but the Pre? One notification sound for SMS, Email, Chat, System sounds? Are you kidding? A 50,- Euro-Mobile can make it better. In 1.3.1 it is possible to select a ringtone for SMS. Great! And for Email? I don´t know if I got a SMS, Email, System hint or Chatmessage.. 
    And I found a really anoying bug right now: if the battery is empty, it looses the time, if the network time is set to off. So my Pre shows me 30 min in the past (actual time on the pre 22.59)
    Sorry, but this is not the right way for a come back..

  • I Have Issues - missing photos and the like

    I dunno. I used to never bat an eye every time Apple came out with an update. Not the story of my life lately - since 10.4.4 and up and with related products iTunes 6.03, and iPhoto 6.
    Re: i Photo - missing photos, more and more. I went investigating and the JPG's themselves are missing even missing in some cases (not just messed up thumbnails). Restoring from backup now as I speak. But this gives me the Fear. This recent list of problems in various parts of my system.
    iPhoto problems have included - date stamps got whacked, so my albums are all out of tune and not in order. Missing files & directories. Thank God for backups. Also dupe files eg. img6013.jpg and img6013_1.jpg etc. etc. Also, I just bought a new Canon 20D and have been trying to import lately and during or when it attempts to import from my card, it bombs and I have to say open/reopen. Am I the only one with the Plague? After about 4 tries it worked. Larger files than my old cam, but still...
    I just noticed that some of my new pics I previously imported (that showed up, but after disappeared) are in /Music/Import/Data/2000/12/ - not in the correct path and not even in the correct directories, because the dates are all indeed the correct dates - oh wait, these are thumbnails - ???
    The originals are in /Music/Import/Originals/2000/12/ ???? ***!?!?!?!
    I have the Fear. Any tips on what the heck might be going on here would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Mike,
    this is the new organization:
    iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
    As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
    It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
    Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
    When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.
