Single use licence...upgrade to multi user..?

My wife unexpectedly bought me a new imac for christmas...yippeeee..!!! the problem is it came with leopard (on disk, not pre-installed)..which was great, but I want to upgrade my other 2 macs (imacG5, ibookG4) to leopard, how do I do this, do I need to buy a family pack (£129) or can I just pay the difference from single user to family (£44)...or can I just install it on them anyway....?
thanks in anticipation
Chris

Hi Diane Williams-
Lucky!
That copy of Leopard is for that machine.
I do not know how Apple would go about handling that specific licensing question. The simple answer would be to tell you to buy the family pack.
As far as purchasing a specific license that would allow you to use that physical Leopard disk to install on your other machines that sounds like a question for Apple. Perhaps contacting them will be helpful: Contacting Apple for Support and Service

Several users on a single file issue: Hosting a multi user Quickbooks file on the WD EX4

Hello everyone. This is going to sound like a super specific third party support issue - but there are some universal things going on here that may help others regarding multiple users of individual files on the EX4. My company houses client and billing files on the EX4. It's all been well and good until we recently allowed multi-user access to our Quickbooks company file. Of course the goal is to have multiple employees working on the file at the same time from different computers. We purchased licenses for each - everything is on the up and up. Whereas I could access the company file on the EX4 with no problems on my computer as a single user, now as soon as I turn on multiuser mode in QB to allow others to access the file on the EX4, the file becomes inaccessible. What do you guys think is happening where one user access to a file on the EX4 is fine, but multiuser access causes the file to be inaccessible? How do you fix it? Other thoughts, there doesn't seem to be a limitation on the EX4 relating to multiple people accessing the same file - streaming the same song for example. So why would a billing database file be any different? Especially when the licenses and program allow that access. Here's more info, if I host the file on my desktop computer everyone can access it in multiuser mode over the network. The limitation is the WD EX4. What do you think is going on? (I'd appreciate any insight as I am talking to both tech support teams, QB and WD, this week.)

Thank you so much for your reply. The error shows up when one switches to multi-user mode. It states: Error H101, H202, H303, or H505: when opening your company file When you open a company file in multi-user mode, you see an error:You're trying to work with a company file located on another computer, and this copy of QuickBooks can't reach the server on that computer (H202).You're trying to work with a company file located on another computer, and that computer needs additional installation and setup. (H101, H303, and H505).It appears that the QuickBooks software on computer [server name] is set up to allow shared connections to the company file, but the QuickBooks software on your computer is unable to communicate with it. (H202).Most often it's an H202 error which suggests that the program can't reach the server on that computer (NAS location). Why would the NAS location become invisible / unreachable once multi-user mode is on? I really appreciate your expert brainstorm and ideas.

Aperture as a Multi-User Digital Asset Management Tool

Does anyone have any experience using Aperture in a multi-user environment? I'm trying to compare it to Cumulus by Canto which is designed as a multi-user tool.
I realize that each user would have a copy of Aperture on their Mac, but are there other issues that are not such as multi-variable searching capabilities of one versus the other. My gut tells me that Cumulus is more robust and can handle much larger libraries as well as all types of digital data and can search within document such as InDesign for a particular image.
Thanks
--Mitch

There is no possible way you can use Cumulus and
actually save money.
I don’t expect to save money. I expect to save time finding info, and avoiding duplication of almost everything we have
Stepping into digital asset management is a far bigger
issue than your boss can imagine. Try not to take this
personally, but your initial question about using
Aperture as an enterprise or workgroup DAM suggests you
have no idea what you're suggesting or possibly getting
into. Canto is all smoke and mirrors unless you can
afford the training and have dedicated, competent and
engaged support personnel.
Nothing taken personally. The question was asked because management is promoting Aperture as the end-all and be-all of imagement, whereas I’m looking for a tool to manage all our documents
Before you go much further, you need to understand
databases and you need to understand that DAM's return
on investment is not about saving money, it's about
preventing the spending of money; a huge difference and
there are few mgrs who can parse that difference from
the sales hype. Buy a copy of "The DAM Book" and try to
get someone to explain databases, cataloging
applications and server-based storage to you.
I understand databases quite well, but I will get a copy of the book you mentioned. I am running an Xserve in my environment, so I do understand servers and OS X Server.
I wish you tremendous luck and hope your experiences
are better than most of the Canto customers I have ever
met, including me. You just have no idea how expensively
wrong your decision to employ Cumulus could turn out to
be. Not that it's a bad product (although we thoroughly
despise it); it's sold as a miracle. Cumulus is a
supremely complex (not necessarily complicated),
over-designed and totally un-Macintosh application.
What version of Cumulus are you using, and why are you so unhappy with it? May I contact you off line to discuss this?
Thanks for the reply

Multi user concept of same jsp page

i have a problem i the jsp page used when there are multi users for the same page.....example when 2 users login at the same time..the id for the second user is same as the first one is displayed but his original id..what can be done for this..please help me out as soon as possible its very urgent

Your posting is a little hard to understand...but if I am guessing your problem is that you have two users whose data is being shown to the other user... the problem could be either of the following:
1. If you used a bean to hold the data, your scope for the bean is set incorrectly...you may have it at "Application" when it should have been "Session".
2. If you used a JSP variable to hold the value, you declared it as static by using <! String x = "myString"; />
Good luck.

Z4: Word and OneDrive don't work with Multi-User

Hi,We are sharing the Z4 tablet among 4 in my family. For this I'm using the Android multiple users.The pre-installed MS Word worked for the main user or owner perfectly. Then I tried to install it for the second and third and fourth user. In all cases after starting Word for these users the message came up "download of additional content required". When clicking on "download" the app crashes. Then recently an update of Word was delivered via Google Play. Now the same happens for the main user. Deinstalling for all four users and reinstalling from Google Play didn't solve the issue.For MS OneDrive the issue is: it works for the main user. For the other users the Playstore gives the error message: "another user on this devices installed an incompatible version of OneDrive. Deinstall this first". Deinstalling and reinstalling didn't helped that issue either. Only one of the four users can use OneDrive. Any ideas on how to solve this? I do have the BKB50 and Word was my main reason to go for that combination with the Z4.Regards,Zampano

Microsoft Office for Android email support replied only with a standardized email. Beside of pointing to some FAQ it just offers to call the support hotline. I'll have to wait for the office hours then. In the meantime: has anyone tried using Word in a Multi-User setup on the Z4? Maybe it's just an issue here at me...Thx and Best Regards Zampano

Multi User Upgrade Question

I have a question about the Snow Leopard upgrade. Back when I bought Leopard, I only had one Mac at home (G4) so I bought the single user version. Since then we have purchased a MacBook and a G5 (both came with Leopard) and all are running on the same network. I want to upgrade them all to Snow Leopard and wonder if I can do that with the multi user license version of the upgrade even though each machine has a separate user license of Leopard? And if not, what is the most cost effective way to upgrade them.
Thanks,
Wes

Hi Wes;
I am sorry to break the bad news to you but Macs that use G4 or G5 processors are not capable of being upgraded to Snow Leopard.
Only Macs that have Intel processor are capable of running Snow Leopard.

Set Database Back to Multi User from Single User

I am using SharePoint Services 3.0 (SP1) with default configuration options, which installs the Microsoft##SSEE instance of SQL to my local C:\ drive.
While attempting to relocate the files to another drive, I set one of the databases (as recommended) to Single User by using the SQL Server Management Express tool.
I cannot now reset that database to Multi User, even by executing the query
exec sp_dboption 'database_name', 'single user', ''FALSE'
again by using the Management Express Tool.
Can someone please help, in plain english???? Thanks

I have similar issue.
I have took backup of WSUS (Windows Server 2002 R2) Windows internal database using SQL Server 2008 Management Studio and restored on Windows Server 2012 R2 Server.
Now SUSDB database was in Single User mode. I have tried ALTER DATABASE <<Database Name>> SET MULTI_USER WITH NO_WAIT and i'm getting blow error.
Msg 5069, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER DATABASE statement failed.
How i can change it Multi User?
Thanks

Multi user access in Single application file

Hi,
Is it possible to work Single application but multi-user access in Indesign CS6.
If yes, Please let me know how to access.
Thansk,
Uvaraj S

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. InDesign files can be edited by only a single user at one time, but any user can open a file not already in use.

Architectural Help - Converting Single-User DB to Multi-User

I have a single-user database running in Java 1.4. I want to convert it to a multi-user database targeted at really small (no way they can buy Oracle) groups. I have a lot of expertise in the old way (file/record locking, avoiding deadly embrace, etc.) but don't think this is right for Java.
What would be a good Java architecture for such a small DBMS? Initially it would be fine to just run a server on a network, tho longer-term it would be great if the solution extended to a remote server on the net. J2EE is not in the cards unless its absolutely required.

Thanks, warnerja.
Here's the issue. The user is viewing a list of names (customers or whatever). Names are physically stored in the order entered; logically viewed sorted on last name, then first. The user drags the elevator car two thirds of the way down. Now what?
Using SQL-based anything, you're pretty much forced to query the table for the whole result set; keep it in memory and then scroll off that. Suppose you have lots of names - 100K or more. This goes dead slow. Worse, in real applications your names will be inner-joined to maybe several other tables so the problem really multiplies.
See MS Access for a good example of how bad this can be. I've got one where the user clicks the down arrow on a combo box and then waits two minutes (actual, measured with my own watch, wait time) for the list to appear. Ugh.
I've created an indexing method I call the b++tree, which makes it perfectly simple to respond to that user action: goto( 66000 ); getNext( 20 ). If my calculations are correct, that goto() should happen in a single disk read and about ten millis.

Change single user to multi user

Hi,
I put the database ABC in single user mode through SSMS, now when I am changing back it to multi user, I get below error
Msg 1205, Level 13, State 68, Line 1
Transaction (Process ID 127) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.
Msg 5069, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER DATABASE statement failed.
127 is my own session.
Please help me

Hi,
I restarted the database and was able to get rid of deadlock , but I am still confused how was the deadlock when no other session was in the database, there were other connections to master database.
Also let me know how can I check and remove the deadlock?
REgards
Probably taking it Offline would have worked i assume.Deadlock is not possible if only one transaction is there multiple transaction are required/involved .As suggested by article provided by me there must be some other request coming from application or
from other users who have logged in .Did you searched ? tried using DMV to find out ?
If you say' yes I did but did not find anything ', I would not believe you.regarding how to resolve deadlock please search on net you will get many good articles.without seeing deadlock graph one cannot comment.
Also its brave decision to take database single user ,before we do we make sure app is not accessing DB,no other job is running which is accessing DB. Any background process is using DB should be either killed or rolled back then we proceed with keeping
DB in single user mode.

Diff bet multi user and single user installation

Hi,
what is the diff betweeen single user and multi user installation,please let me know advantages and disadvantages also .
Regards

Hi,
what is the diff betweeen single user and multi user installationSingle user installation is having one user who owns all the application/database tier files. When you do an installation, you run RapidWiz as this user.
Multi-user installation is having two different users (applmgr user who owns the application tier files, and oracle user who owns the database tier files). When you do the installation, you run RapidWiz as root user.
On Windows, you cannot have multi-user installation. So, the above is valid on Unix/Linux.
More details can be found in the Concept manual --> http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/applications.html
please let me know advantages and disadvantages also .I always prefer multi-user installation as you just source the application/env file in the user's profile (in the applmgr/oracle profile) and the file is sourced once you login as that user. For single user installation, you will have to be sure that you source the proper env file manually each time you want to switch between the application and the database (just imagine if you try to shutdown/startup the database after sourcing the application env file, or trying to use any database executable file like export/import/sqlplus ..etc, you will end up using the application tier executable files).

Hussein

How can I tell if my software licence is a Family Pack or Single use?

I need to work out which licence I have as my daughter has a Mac Book. Her school provided her with iWork but take it off when she leaves in a month or so. If I have the Family Pack I can load Pages, Keynote etc, but not if I only have Single use.

If you still have the box or electronic receipt you could call your closest Apple Store and give them the serial # or model # and they can check it. Do you remember what you paid? Also, there are no longer any Family Packs with Lion, but I see your sig says Snow Leopard.

Trying to access Lion server remote using multi-user access, but from a legacy Leopard system

Just purchased a mini server running Lion, and got screen sharing working fine from my legacy system (32-bit so Leopard only). However, I would like to run in multi-user mode, so someone can use the Lion system and another person can access their own account, from the older Leopard system, at the same time. Using multi-user rather than screen sharing. But Leopard does not have the option on the Finder/Share Screen command, the pop-up window to select screen sharing or new virtual session. So, is there a way still to run a new virtual session from a remote client running Leopard? Since the multi-user capability resides on the Lion server, it should be possible, but how, without the pop-up menu?

Set multi user column with PowerShell used to work in 2010 but no longer works in 2013

In SharePoint 2010 I used PowerShell to set the value of multi user people columns and it worked really well. I attempt to use the same PowerShell to set the same column type in SharePoint 2013 and it fails.
here is the PowerShell that I use in 2010:
$web = Get-SPWeb "http://intranet"
$list = $web.lists["TestList"]
$item = $list.items.add()
$item["Title"] = "Test multi user column"
$users = @("Domain\user1", "Domain\user2")
$userList = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValueCollection
foreach($user in $users)
$spUser = $web.EnsureUser($user)
$userValue = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValue($web, $spUser.ID, $spUser.Name)
$userList.Add($userValue)
$item["MultiUserColumn"] = $userList
$item.update()
I have used this on three SharePoint 2013 farms with differing results. On two of them I receive an error when running $item.update(): Exception calling "Update" with "0" argument(s): "Invalid look-up value. A look-up
field contains invalid data. Please check the value and try again."
If I take one of the users out of the $users list then it works fine, but it will not allow multiple users to be set with PowerShell. I can use the GUI to add more than one user but not PowerShell.
Does anyone know if these methods have changed in 2013? I haven't been able to find anyone else with this issue.
mmm... coffee...

Not sure but maybe something to do with casting. Below is the code snippet from one of the blogs. Try modifying your script like below and see if still you get the error
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValueCollection]$lotsofpeople = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValueCollection
$user1 = $w.EnsureUser("domain\user1");
$user1Value = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValue($w, $user1.Id, $user1.LoginName)
$user2 = $w.EnsureUser("domain\user2");
$user2Value = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValue($w, $user2.Id, $user2.LoginName);
$lotsofpeople.Add($user1Value);
$lotsofpeople.Add($user2Value);
$i["lotsofpeoplefield"] = $lotsofpeople;
$i.Update();
#-or-
$l.Fields["lotsofpeoplefield"].ParseAndSetValue($i,$lotsofpeople);
$i.Update();

Multi user catalog and how to make it - use a checked out system

Lots of people want or need a Multi user ability in lightroom here is one way to achieve multi-user catalogs by using a check-in check-out system.
The Catalog would open normally upon a second user opening LR would then ask to switch to multi-user mode.
Once in multi user mode lightroom would lock-out images, collections, or folders by a checked-out for editing system.
By checking-out images, collections, or folders: files would be unavailable to other users until edits are saved, and the images, collections, or folders are checked-in.
This check-in check-out system would need a global check-in feature in case someone forgot to check in an image, collection, or folders (global check-in could be admin level). Word documents, CAD files, etc, use a similar lock-out/read only system for the files. Since, we wouldn't want to bloat the files with programing to lock out the files, this would have to be added to the catalog and managed by the catalog.
My system
Vista Ultimate 32bit SP1
AMD 64X2 duel core 6000+ 3.2Ghz
6GB 666mhz Ram PAE force enabled
NVIDIA Gforce 7600 256MB video card (1.75GB total with system shared ram)
primary hard drive 500GB
Hard drive 2 400GB (system and photoshop paging files and lightroom catalog drive)

Your thread pool is a pool and probably keeps
the thread alive even though the thread has nothing
after a minute toi execute - you'll have to call its
shutdown() methodThanks Oxe...
I googled that (easy when you know what the answer is) and yes the ScheduledThreadPool retains threads for re-use, so you have to check that all threads are done and then shutdown() the scheduler... like this:     while (!future.isDone()) {
          try { Thread.sleep(10); } catch(InterruptedException e) {}
     scheduler.shutdown();
... here is the complete working class:
import java.util.concurrent.ScheduledExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
import java.util.concurrent.ScheduledFuture;
import static java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit.*;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
class BeeperControl {
     private final ScheduledExecutorService scheduler = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1);
     public void beepForAMinute() {
          final Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
          final Runnable beeper = new Runnable() {
               public void run() {
                    tk.beep();
                    System.out.println("beep");
          final ScheduledFuture<?> future = scheduler.scheduleAtFixedRate(beeper, 250, 250, MILLISECONDS);
          scheduler.schedule(
               new Runnable() {
                    public void run(){
                         future.cancel(true);
               }, 3, SECONDS
          while (!future.isDone()) {
               try { Thread.sleep(10); } catch(InterruptedException e) {}
          scheduler.shutdown();
     public static void main(String[] args)
          BeeperControl bc = new BeeperControl();
          bc.beepForAMinute();
}Thanx again. Keith.
