Buying/Subscribing Question - where/how product installed...

I have MS Office Pro 2013 installed. It was acquired via my company's HUP (Home Upgrade Purchase) at a real good price. However, that appears to be a curse rather than the opposite.
Specifically, after installation of the HUP version, it failed to remove the old 2010 pro version I owned (and paid for myself I might add). In fact, it left all the tell-tale signs that 2010 remained on the system, and I eventually had to hid 2010 auto-updates
simply because they never did anything anyway.
Yet, the 2013 never got updated with current releases, and I've had it over a year now. So, the result: I want to get fully supported, but I am confused about which version is better.
I've read all the comparisons, but given my unique approach here (HUP license remains installed and operational), I need to know a few things.
If I purchase a subscription to Office 365 Home Premium, will the product be installed on my local system? I have no use for something that has to load from the web, I simply
don't have the band width to support a web based product load every time I launch it - and I do so a lot.
When it is installed, will it automatically find and get rid of my old 2010 and 2013 license versions along with the software (that's great if it will) so it will do a clean install of the 365 version?
I need all the products (Word, Excel, Outlook, Publisher, Access, OneNote, etc.) not just the "common" ones. Will the single subscription product ($7/mo) provide all that?
Although Skype is included, it's just icing on the cake, I usually scrape off the icing, and it'll not be used since the band width I have doesn't allow it's use (I'm at the max allowable speed now at 6MB Download/1.5MB upload).
So, any buying advise in direction, pitfalls or other guidance is greatly appreciated.

Okay, here's the low-down...
I attempted to run the Office Update feature from Excel. In this way, it may clear up the error code that was flashed when I followed the other steps.
The approach defined here was EXCELENT, as I never realized the manual update was available or where it was located - my bad on that - it was in sight after all... :(
However, when I attempted to run the manual update of the product, it threw an error. So, I followed the steps outlined in MS's other resolution page, and attempted to use the Change > Quick Repair then the full repair option. Both failed miserably. The
first option didn't do anything but throw an error (didn't record it) so I tried the next option - Full Repair.
Boy, was that a mistake. It began by invalidating my activation of the product. From that point forward, I had to scramble to find the original order and the product key. Eventually it was found though, and I was able to re-key the product key.
It originally asked me for my Activation email address, which I didn't know until I found it on my work computer. Since it was a HUP acquisition, I had to go all the way back to find the original order confirmation email. By the way, it was originally licensed
on 1/24/2013.
After entering the product id all over again, it came back fully activated. I then proceeded to attempt an update.
What did I find - that I have the "current" version. This I figured. What it never told me or attempted to perform, were any security updates or other general updates to Microsoft Office Plus 2013. I know there have been at least a few updates to 2013 since
1/24/2013. Yet, it says there are none.
Apparently, most everything is now run from the web links (which is 365 anyway and is fine), but it seems that updates are not taking place. No entry exists in my update history, except for 2010 - which is long gone - even though it keeps trying to do updates
and failing (so I did a 'hide' on those updates).
I'm really at a loss as to why all this stuff is happening, and why 2013 isn't getting updates. - OR - maybe it is. I just know the version numbers never change; and nothing pops up on the auto-updates which are received on a monthly basis.
Like I said though, the response above was right on target. It at least helped me to get my configuration back on track (or so it seems), and I even recovered my id and original email to boot... :)
Thanks!

Question On How to Install Teradata ODBC on CF9 64-bit?

Need to install Teradata drivers on 2 different servers: A Windows 7 64-bit, and a Windows Server 2008 R2, both running IIS 7.5 and CF 9.0.1 64-bit. Am fairly sure this needs to be set up as an ODBC Socket in CF Admin. I've downloaded both the 32 and 64-bit Teradata drivers from Teradata web site (version 13, latest ones).   But have not installed or done anything yet.
First, is it correct with CF9 64-bit, in CF Admin, that the ODBC Socket drop-down will only display 64-bit drivers? Thus only allowing ODBC connections using 64-bit drivers?   For example, I've been unable to get a 32-bit IBM DB2/UDB ODBC driver to appear in the drop-down. However, the same 64-bit DB2 driver shows up in the drop-down, but when I test the connection in CF Admin, I get a "type mismatch" error message. Have not been able to resolve. Am hoping I don't experience the same issue with Teradata.
On a development Windows 7 server at work, I successfully installed the 32-bit Teradata drivers, but on a Windows 7 32-bit server, and CF9.0.1 32-bit. After installing and configuring the Teradata 32-bit driver in Control Panel/ODBC Data Sources, the driver DID show up in ODBC Socket drop-down, and tested fine.
But not sure what to do on 64-bit servers, and 64-bit CF9?   If anyone has been able to successfully install and configure a Teradata ODBC-Socket connection on either Win 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, 64-bit, using CF9 64-bit and IIS, would greatly appreciate any help/advice on what you did to create a successful connection in CF Admin. Thank you,
Gary

No luck. After installing Teradata 64-bit ODBC drivers, and successfully configuring them in Windows 7 64-bit, <Control Panel, ODBC Data Sources>, and IIS 7.5, I got the same architechture mis-match when trying to add them as an ODBC-Socket DSN.
After running into same problem with IBM's UDB/DB2 64-bit drivers, and after reading additional posts, I've come to the conclustion that CF9 64-bit does not support 64-bit drivers in an ODBC-Socket connection. And if you install/configure 32-bit drivers, they won't appear in CF9's drop-down list of available ODBC-Socket connections. It appears to only display 64-bit drivers, including the built-in ones (which I believe are mostly JDBC drivers). If anyone disagrees, please advise.
Yet, on a test server with 32-bit Windows 7 and 32-bit CF9, and 32-bit DB2 and Teradata drivers, everything works fine. Don't understand why this doesn't work on 64-bit platforms.
At work, we are upgrading our production servers from Win2K 32-bit to Win Server 2008 R2 64-bit. And upgrading our testing servers at our desks to Win7 64-bit. And switching the main database from Oracle and SQL Server to Teradata. (We do have about 4 Oracle DSNs, and 1 SQL Server DSN, and they all work fine using native Oracle/SQL Server drivers that come with CF9 64-bit). If I can't get the DB2 and Teradata (particularly the Teradata drivers) to work on this new Win Server 2008 R2 64-bit production server, we won't be able to run any of our ColdFusion programs.
Here are some options I've come up with, and would appreciate advice/recommendations from anyone who may have some experience with this:
OPTIONS:
1. Un-install CF9 64-bit and and install CF9 32-bit on both Win Server 2008 R2 64-bit and Win 7 64-bit. Not sure if either of these 64-bit OS will run a 32-bit CF9 installation normally, without problems or errors. If this is the best way, will all existing Oracle and SQL Server DSNs need to be re-configured, and will those work properly?
2. Run CF9 64-bit in 32-bit mode. Can this be done? If so, where do you find out how to do this? And how does this impact current DSNs using Oracle and SQL Server, that are already configured and running normally?
3. Leave all "as is" and install Teradata JDBC Drivers. They are available from their web site. If this is best solution:
   A. Do you need to un-install the Teradata 64-bit ODBC drivers, or is it OK to just leave them there?
   B. I've never installed 64-bit JDBC drivers. After install, how are these added as a CF DSN? Do they just show up on the main DSN driver drop-down list in CF Admin? Or do you have to use OTHER?    I've looked at doing a CF "OTHER" configuration, and it asks some questions I don't have the answers to off-hand, and our Teradata DBAs aren't familiar with ColdFusion, so no help there. So am hoping Teradata will just "show up" as an available driver when adding new DSNs in CF Admin. And I won't need to use OTHER. Anyone know?
Appreciate any help/advice. I cannot ask my company to purchase additional licenses of CF9, until I know:
1. Whether I can get, and how I can get, a Win Server 2008 R2 64-bit server to use CF9 to connect to our Teradata Data Warehouse.
2. Which version of CF9 to purchase and install on these 64-bit servers (32 or 64 bit)
Really appreciate any help/advice. Thank you.

First PKGBUILD... where/how to install

I want to create a package for Triangle (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~quake/triangle.html).
My current pkgbuild looks like:
pkgname=triangle
pkgver=1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A Two-Dimensional Quality Mesh Generator and Delaunay Triangulator."
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~quake/triangle.html"
license=('custom')
provides=('triangle' 'showme')
conflicts=('triangle' 'showme')
source=(http://www.netlib.org/voronoi/triangle.zip)
md5sums=('10aff8d7950f5e0e2fb6dd2e340be2c9')
build() {
cd "$srcdir"
gcc -O -o triangle triangle.c -lm
gcc -O -o showme showme.c -lX11
Now, I don't know what to do from here... all the help on the wiki assumes make, make install; whereas this isn't the case here. I think I need to copy the resulting executable to /usr/bin, but I'm not sure at all.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Adding

To be technically correct, those lines should be added to a package() function
Shouldn't this function be described in the Creating Packages wiki? There is a "The build() function" chapter but none about the package() function except of it being listed in the example.
I did miss this function up to now as well.
BTW: The package() function is missing in the "PKGBUILD Prototype" chapter of the Arch Packaging Standards wiki as well. Is this a new concept?

How to install LiveCycle Forms ES2

Hi,
We are using adobe LiveCycle ES2 with SP2.
after installing the LiveCycle ES2 and applying the patch, we noticed
that we forgot to check the LiveCycle Forms ES2 to be installed!, now we need this module
my question is how to install this module and add it to our LiveCycle environment ??
thanks
Hussam

You need to re-run the LiveCycle Configuration Manager (LCM) by selecting LiveCycle Forms Module along with existing one. Perform all the tasks you did for the initial installation.
The patched files should be automatically picked from deploy folder while running LCM.

Product Install fees

I've seen lots of questions about the "product install fee", but no answers. Can someone please tell me what this is for and why it is not mentioned before you sign up for service? While signing up only the $39.95 installation fee is mentioned. Thank you.

How to install previous version of FC

I have an imac 24" 2007 edition, Apple dropped support without warning for this computer when it upgraded to FC to 10.1.
Unfortunately, the App marketplace did not detect that my computer was incompatible and attempted to install 10.1 anyway. Not
only did it not upgrade, but it ruined the funcioning version I had on my computer.
The question is how to install the previous version of FC since it is not available on the App store?

The earlier versions of FC were definitely compatible. I did get an error message when I tried to download the latest version, however, it did not say anything about it being incompatible. It just gave me a generic error message after it partially downloaded the app.
After a few attempts, i gave up and decided to keep my previous version. Except now, every time I try to launch FC, it reconnects to the app store to finish the download. The previous installed version does not work.
I need apple to post a link so that I may download the previous version, I paid for the software, I should be able to use it.

Macbook butchers hard drives-New hard drive where to buy and how to install

Hey.
I have one of the last generation Macbooks and my hard drive died on me again. this the second hard drive and I only have the device for 1 year and 10 months.
Last time it fell under warranty but that has expired by now. So I am left with following questions:
1) Is it normal for a Macbook to kill 2 hard drives in less then 2 years? Could it be somthing about my Macbook specific or the way that I use it?
2) I don't really feel like spending at least 200 euro's at my Apple reseller to have a new hard disk installed... So I was wondering:
2.a which hard drives are suited for my type Macbook
2.b where do I find them / at which price (within Europe / Belgium)
2.C where do I find a manual about how to install it myself?

Hard drives do fail. That is an inescapable fact and a primary reason why backups are always recommended.
Two hard drives to fail within two years, although unusual, would have nothing to do with your Mac and more to do with the actual hard drive.

Replacing the hard drive in your model MacBook is very easy. Instructions on how to do so are even in the User's Manual that came with your MacBook. If you no longer have the manual, you can download it from here:
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#macbook
Additionally there are also excellent tutorials on youtube - just type something like "MacBook hard drive replacement" or similar in the search field.
Internal 2.5" SATA hard drives can be bought virtually anywhere and are very cheap - a 500GB internal 2.5" SATA hd, for example can be found on-line for as little as 50 Euros (maybe less).
I'm in the UK and whenever I need to buy internal hard drives I do so on-line from ebuyer.com:
http://www.ebuyer.com/store/Components/cat/Hard-Drives---Internal/subcat/2.5%22- SATA-Hard-Drives
Other similar sites are equally as good.

No it does not!
Windows and MS Office are two independent products. You will either have to buy an MS-office-license for your needs or you apply to office 365, you can activate up to 5 licenses at a time with your account and e.g. use them for the Parallels-Windows and for the native Office for Mac at the same time.
Office 365 comes in for approx 80€ a year, so if you need more than one license it is the better deal.

My computer has crashed and i have to buy a new one, how do i put my creative cloud on my new laptop? I paid for a year of having the programs

Please do not worry. You can just download it from Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps.
You have to activate it with your Adobe ID.
In case the CC has been activated two time, you will have to use the option to deactivate the CC from previous install .This prompt will appear when you will try to activate the CC. Once you choose this option it will allow you to activate the CC on the new machine.

Is there an instruction sheet detailing how to install Photoshop Elements 13 (from a DVD disk), on a Windows 8.1 computer, and if so, where do I find it

Is there an instruction sheet detailing how to install Photoshop Elements 13 (from a DVD disk), on a Windows 8.1 computer, and if so, where do I find it?

Googled for an instruction sheet. Got the following.
https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/getting-started/install-pse.html
and
https;//helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-installation-errors.html
(Don't know why the second one didn't turn into a link, that's the url that printed out at the bottom of the page)
In any case it doesn't matter. I returned it to the store where I bought it.
Rule #1; Don't use a product if the people who produce that product (software, hardware, etc.) don't properly support it.
User forums and\or chat lines, are useful and may help. But! They do not constitute proper support (not for installation purposes anyway).

How to install the add-on Photo Upload Dropbox for CC products, like Lightroom?

I have bought the add-on from Adobe to use it in Lightroom. My CC app says it is installed, but I can't find it in any of my CC apps (Lightroom, PhotoShop etc).

When you purchase an Add-on, the web page for the add-on has a tab that tells you where to find it and how to install it.
Go back to the page where you ordered it and look for the Where to Find It tab, shown below:
For further questions, it would be best to ask in the Lightroom forum.
