Activation fees for upgrading

I know I upgraded online, which is the only place they told me I could a "free phone", but at the end hit me with a new as of April fee of $30 for UPGRADING. An upgrade fee? Really? My free 2 year upgrade turned into a FEE upgrade! And since I ordered it online hopefully I actually like it because if I wanted to return it, it would be another $35 for a restocking fee! As if it isn't bad enough you have to have a minimum $30 data plan on all the good phones now you have to charge us for being loyal customers and staying with the company! It used to be if you had a monthly plan you got the better deals, now people are paying $40 a month for smartphones with unlimited everything! It doesn't seem fair to those of us who have been long time customers of Verizon. Oh, I was also told there is "No one and no way to waive the $30 upgrade fee". Nice!

There are several existing threads (for example Re: $30 Upgrade Fee! ) going with this topic. Did we need another one?

One-time activation fees for new customers and 'My Support Cases' hyperlink

Team,
I'm a new customer to verizon and I have requested only for internet without any invisible charges. And the cutomer care provided a non-contractual internet plan only for 39.99 in addtion to the device charges and one-time activation fees can be waived since verizon kid is already placed in my apartment since verizon identiified our address as "Priority Service" address.
However first month bill come with $23.33 charge for one-time activation lue for next 2 monts. I really appreciate if the activation fees to be waived since I opted verizon instruments and installation is already done since it all readily available.
I tried to search for "My Support Cases" Link, i really frustrated and till now I'm not able to find this, not sure whether its hidden somewhere only for verizon customer care

You do not have any support cases, so you cannot see that board. Just a friendly reminder, this is a forum where users help other users.

Are Surcharges calculated on total bill amount? including activation fees

Hi, I am trying to find out what my surcharges will be on total $200 total plan cost for everything in arizona. I got my first bill for $403 and that includes activation fees for 3 lines and also they charged me $42 in surcharges, what can i excpect in surcharges on a normal bill of $200?? if they base there surcharge % on my total bill including activation fees then my next bill at $200 should be much less then $42???

Hello johnpadock,
TAXES, TAXES, TAXES! No one really likes taxes. I certainly don't but it's a way of life in the U.S. Almost any service that's provided are subject to taxes, including wireless service. As we all know, surcharges vary from state to state as well as city and even zip code. Below is an estimate of what you can expect to pay in surcharges in Maricopa county, which is in Phoenix Arizona. Keep in mind that the percentages below is an estimate and can be subject to change based on location.
Phoenix Transaction Privilege Surcharge on Telecommunication - 4.7%
Phoenix City Transaction Privilege/Gross Receipts Surcharge General Merchandise - 2%
Maricopa County Transaction Privilege Surcharge Telecommunication - .7%
Keep in mind that these are not all of the surcharges but merely a sample of what is factored into a monthly wireless bill. The percentage is calculated from the retail value of the products and services that are listed on the bill. For example, if you have Unlimited Talk & text with a $30 data package then the retail value would be $119.99. Keep in mind all VZW downloads, overages, equipment purchases that's billed to the account and late fees fall into the retail cost range. Simply, multiple the retail value by the percentage and the product.
If you would like a more detailed breakdown of the taxes in your specific area then I would encourage you to call our customer service number so we can provide the breakdown of the taxes in our county, city, and state. Our customer service department can be reached by calling *611 from your Verizon cell phone or 800-922-0204.
Thank you...

AT&T vs Verizon Data Plan for iPad 2 - Activation Fees?

I heard that Verizon has a $35 activation fee everytime you activate the data plan. Is this true?
I am trying to get one where I can activate on a month-to-month basis as I please without paying an activation fee each time. I know that this is the case for AT&T. If Verizon has the activation fee, then this is an easy decision.
Thanks!

For what it's worth i went to vzw.com/ipad2 and clicked the link "Check out Our Data Plans" and there is no mention of activation fees.
This leads me to believe that the activation fee is for the MiFi unit because it has a phone number assigned to it.

I think the Verizon website is misleading. There is no mention of activation fees, but according to almost every reputable source the fee exists.
I wrote to Verizon customer service earlier in the week to find out from the source. I asked:
"IF I purchase the Verizon 3G iPad2:
1. Will I be able to activate/deactivate Verizon service as needed?
2. Is there an activation fee? If so, how much?
3. Is the activation fee charged each time service is activated and/or
deactivated? If not, when exactly is the fee charged?"
They answered:
"You may disconnect the device at anytime. However, if the disconnect is after the 14-day Worry Free Guarantee return/exchange timeframe, then you are liable for an early termination fee. The early termination fee is prorated based on how much of the contract has been completed.
Yes, there is an activation fee for all new lines of service. In your case, the activation fee would be $35. This applies each time that a line activation is requested."
That reads to me as a $35 fee every time you activate service, be it every other month, every three months or whatever.
It may not be a problem for some, but this is a dealbreaker for me. I am getting the AT&T iPad2. It is unfortunate that one iPad cannot handle both services, as that would promote competition.

Switching phones and activation fees

Hi everyone,
I bought a new phone off e_bay (LG voyager vx10000) to replace my current phone. I realize I can switch and activate the new phone from the Verizon website but my question is.....when I activate my new phone will I still be able to use my old phone as a back-up? Also will I be charged an activation fee? I do not want to upgrade to smartphone or renew my contract. I am currently in a month-to-month contract and I would like to keep it that way.
I have done this process before but I never wanted to keep my old phone because it was always broke.Another thing I remember from when I done this in the past is Verizon asks you why you are switching your phone. Why do they ask this? Is it just like a poll type thing so they know why most people are switching phones? or is it to tell whether they need to charge you an activation fee? Does answering that poll (or whatever you want to call it) gonna affect whether I get charged an activation fee or if my old phone gets a bad esn or something like that? Also my reason for getting a new phone is because my old one is very out dated and want something a little more modern but no required data plan. My old phone still works good which is why I want to keep it as a back-up.
Hopefully you were able to follow along...I don't really want to call or go to the store I would rather activate online and soon.
I bolded the questions so it is easier to refer back to and find =)

There is no activation fee for activating a different phone on an existing line. You only pay an activation fee when you start a new line of service.
As to the survey, I've never been prompted to answer any questions like that when switching phones. The only reason you would not be able to use your old phone as a backup is if you report it to Verizon as lost or stolen, or fall behind on your payments while that phone is on your account. If the phone is listed as lost, stolen, or tied to an unpaid account, it is placed on a blacklist and cannot be activated on any Verizon account.
You can either use the online tool, or just turn off your old phone and then dial *228 and choose option 1 from the new phone.

What are the prerequisites for upgrading to CU7

I've been trying to get a definitive list of prerequisites for the upgrade to Exchange 2013 CU7, but every time I find another site with info it says something different.
I know I need to have Domain functional level at 2008 SP1 to run the Schema extension, no problem there. However, I found something that tells me I need to have the Exchange servers running .NET Framework 4.5.2 and Windows Management Framework 4.0, but the
same site then says this is actually needed on the machine used to prepare AD. that means it needs to be one of the domain controllers running these.
Other sites say these need to be installed but do not say which server(s) need them.
Can anyone give me the list of prerequisites? The information I managed to find on the Microsoft site mentioned nothing about the domain functional level, I only found this requirement after trying to run the schema extension and getting a report the DFL
needs to be 2003 native mode or above, I ran a targeted search for DFL requirements and found a table listing this for different versions of Exchange.
This is frustrating to say the least, makes carrier pigeons seem a viable alternative right now!

Thanks to everyone who has replied, but the fact 3 different people have replied and given varying replies is what I was talking about.
Microsoft, in the prerequisites information found at
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/bb691354(v=exchg.150).aspx say this
Active Directory preparation
The computer you want to use to prepare Active Directory for Exchange 2013 has specific prerequisites that must be met.
Install the following software, in the order shown, on the computer that will be used to prepare Active Directory:
The version of Microsoft .NET Framework that corresponds to the version of Exchange 2013 you're installing.
Exchange CU7 and later   .NET Framework 4.5.2
Exchange CU6 and earlier   .NET Framework 4.5.1
The version of Windows Management Framework that corresponds to the version of Exchange 2013 you're installing.
Exchange 2013 SP1 or later   Windows Management Framework 4.0
Exchange 2013 CU3   Windows Management Framework 3.0
but from what others say, installing .NET 4.5.2 before installing CU7 will break Exchange services.
I think I'm just going to try the schema extension without installing anything and see what happens, if I still have my job after this I will let you know

Step by step procedure for Upgrade to ECC6.0

Hi,
I gained a lot from this forum . Can someone please mail me at
[email protected]
step by step procedure for upgrade .
Will award full points for helpful documents..
With regards,
Mrinal

SAP defined a roadmap for upgrade.
1) Project Preparation
Analyze the actual situation
Define the objectives
Create the project plan
Carry out organizational preparation for example identify the project team
2)Upgrade Blueprint
The system and components affected
The mapped business processes
The requirements regarding business data
3)Upgrade Realization -- In this phase the solution described in the design phase is implemented in a test environment. This creates a pilot system landscape, in which the processes and all their interfaces can be mapped individually and tested on the functional basis.
4)Final Preparation for Cutover -- Testing, Training, Minimizing upgrade risks, Detailed upgrade planning
5)Production Cutover and Support
The production solution upgrade
Startup of the solutions in the new release
Post processing activities
Solving typical problems during the initial operation phase.
SAP expects at least 2 to 3 months for Upgrade and that again depends on project scope and complexity and various other factors.
STEPS IN TECHNICAL UPGRADE
     Basis Team will do the prepare activities. (UNIX, BASIS, DBA).
     Developer need to run the Transaction SPDD which provides the details of SAP Standard Dictionary objects that have been modified by the client. Users need to take a decision to keep the changes or revert back to the SAP Standard Structure. More often decision is to keep the change. This is mandatory activity in upgrade and avoids data loses in new system.
     After completing SPDD transaction, we need to run SPAU Transaction to get the list of Standard SAP programs that have been modified. This activity can be done in phases even after the upgrade. Generally this will be done in same go so that your testing results are consistent and have more confident in upgrade.
     Run SPUMG Transaction for Unicode Conversion in non-Unicode system. SPUM4 in 4.6c.
     Then we need to move Z/Y Objects. Need to do Extended programming check, SQL trace, Unit testing, Integration testing, Final testing, Regression Testing, Acceptance Testing etc.,
The main Category of Objects that needs to be Upgraded is
     Includes
     Function Groups / Function Modules
     Programs / Reports
     OSS Notes
     SAP Repository Objects
     SAP Data Dictionary Objects
     Domains, Data Elements
     Tables, Structures and Views
     Module Pools, Sub Routine pools
     BDC Programs
     Print Programs
     SAP Scripts, Screens
     User Exits

Best practice for upgrading task definition without deleting task instances

best practice for upgrading task definition in production system without deleting or terminating task instances
If I try and update a task definition with task instances running I get the following error:
Task definition 'My Task - Add User' may not be modified while there are active task instances
Is there a best practice to handle this. I tried to force an update through the console but that didn't work. I tried editing the task from the debug page and got the same error.

1) Rename the original task definition.
2) Upload the new task definition with the original name.
3) Later, after all the running tasks have timed out, delete the old definition.
E.g., if your task definition is "myWorkflow":
1) Rename "myWorkflow" to "myWorkflow-old-2009-07-28"
2) Upload the new task definition as "myWorkflow".
Existing tasks will stay linked to the original (renamed) workflow definition.
New tasks will use the new definition.
As the previous poster notes, depending on the changes you are making, letting the old task definitions stay active could have bad side-effects and might be better avoided.

The best way for upgrade purposes is to use the rename function of the TaskDefinition from the lh command line utility.
Basically renames all current task instances with the TaskDefinition name. You can then alter the existing TaskDefinition and upload into identity manager.

Third-Party Licensing and Activation Toolkit for Labview 8.5

There is any Third-Party Licensing and Activation Toolkit for Labview 8.5 as LV2010. PLS help..
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I know what you are asking and in the other thread, you were told it was for 2010 only. There is some support for 2009 but not for your old version. Go with the dongle suggested or upgrade your version of LabVIEW.

Errors in DDIC Activation phase during upgrade.

Hi,
Title: Errors in DDIC Activation phase during upgrade.
During preprocessing phase (phase ACT_UPG) we got many DDIC activation errors such as:
SAPup broke during phase ACT_UPG in module MAIN_SHDRUN / Shadow System Operations: SPDD and Activation.
DDIC ACTIVATION ERRORS and RETURN CODE in SAPACCI702.CPE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1EEDO519 "Data Element" "/BI0/OICH_AT" could not be activated
1EEDO519 "Data Element" "/BI0/OICREA_TIME" could not be activated
1 ETP111 exit code           : "8"
We have searched the SDN, many posts say that we have to just activate them. But my question is where - in source system OR in Shadow system?
We assumed it is Source system (please correct if it is wrong), unlocked the system and logged in as normal user and tried to activate the Data Element. Now, it says "Search Help /BI0/OICH_AT is not active or contains no parameter".   How to go about it?
If it is Shadow System, how can i unlock the system?
Many thanks,
Mohan.

Dear Mohan,
There are search helps configured for the dataelements in ACTUPG.ELG. These search helps were created by mistake by the system.
The search helps can be deleted manually in the shadow instance.
In this case you should remove these fields in se11 (in your shadow instance) as the Search help shouldn't exist.
You should do this step for all data elements shown in the log ACTUPG.ELG:
For example: SE11 -> /BI0/OICH_AT -> Change -> Tab "Further characteristics"
1. Goto SE11:
2. Select Data type and fill "/BI0/OICH_AT" and display
3. Select the tab "Further Characteristics" and
4. Remove the values for fields "Name" and "Parameters"
   then click on icon "Activate"
Please do the same for the other object.
But before performing above steps you need to unlock the shadow instance by the following command:
SAPup unlockshd <SID>
(if using SAPup)
SAPehpi unlockshd <SID>
(if using SAPehpi)
Also do not forget to lock the shadow system again after performing the steps and continuing the upgrade by the following command:
SAPup lockshd <SID>
(if using SAPup)
SAPehpi lockshd <SID>
(if using SAPehpi)
You can logon to your shadow system with any different user than DDIC.
Best Regards,
Abhishek

Best option for upgrading to CS 6

Hello,
I need some help. I currently have CS 5 and 5.5 installed across 7 PCs and 1 MAC within the marketing department in my company. What would be the best option for upgrading all of them to CS 6 Master Collection. (how many PCs can I use a license on? How many licenses would I have to purchase to install on all the machines?)
Thanks.

There is no ambiguity here: You buy 7+1 licenses. Though you have 2 activations per license, they are not meant to run your facility on the cheap. I suggest you read the EULA....

Is Solution Manger mandatory for upgrade to NW2004s ?

Is solution Manger mandatory for upgrade to NW2004S ?
Thanks,
BP.

SAP will not provide solman key. However it will provide a solution manager free for ERP software. The first system that should be installed is solman in the landscape. By making solman mandatory SAP wants to regulate the irregularities in the annual fees payment by the customers. It want their customers to habituate to this software, so it provided some of the usefull concepts in solman i.e central administration of all systems in the landscape, preparation of implementation projects using ASAP methodology, maintaining service level agreement reports, provides service desk option(ticketing tool), early watch alerts etc.
So upgrade to NW2004s it is mandatory that you have solman installed.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
