BYOD and free personal use licensing

A few other things to keep in mind:Office 365 allows staff to install the company-licensed version of Microsoft Office on up to 5 devices, including those owned by the user. Office licensing, done.
Avast offers a free business antivirus product. But, honestly, who the [redacted] can't afford $30 a year to put a paid security product on a $400-$1,200 laptop?!
Unreimbursed business expenses may be tax deductible. Check with your finance department/company accountant to verify whether staff can claim some or all of the costs related to BYOD.
Remember that you cannot require BYOD without reasonable compensation. BYOD is not a way to completely offload equipment and software costs onto your employees. Also, that's just a dick move. Nobody wants to work for companies which pull crap like that.

Hi all
Something that came into thought recently. What happens with free personal use only licensing and BYOD's
A good example for this would be AVG free licensing on some ones personal laptop but they then bring this to the office (say a company of 50+ users) to work on.
So a simple question with a potentially complicated answer. What should we be doing?
Other questions to go with this;To what extent do this go to?Are there exclusions (for example someone using remote desktop over vpn to a work machine)?What if that person has unlicensed software on their personal device, are we as a company now responsible?

Free of use / license

Hi,
i just downloaded JDeveloper 10G EA1 - and after the first look i like it - but before stumbling too deep in: what exactly is it if i use it in a production environment ? do i have to pay for technology like Toplink, ADF and Jdev or are they "free" to use ?
e.g. if i build an , lets say, e-commerce app - are there any costs for me ?
Regards,
Korbinian

The licensing is explained here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/jdevpricefaq.html
Basically ADF and TopLink are free if you deploy them on a licensed Oracle Application Server. If you deploy to another application server they cose money.
JDeveloper itself is free.

Charged full CD price AND free downloads used up.

I was credited with 3 free songs on my iTunes account (from Cookie Crisp boxes). I went to purchase the new VNV Nation CD for $9.90 and when it was finished downloading, my 3 free songs weren't listed in the top corner anymore, and I was charged the full price for the CD.
I had figured that it just pulled the price of 3 of the songs from the CD and used them up, but the free song credits are gone and I was indeed charged full price.
Is there a way I can get my free song downloads added to my account again?
Windows XP Pro

I believe that the credits from the General Mills cereal promotion have expired (at the end of February, from what I can determine). The display probably just didn't refresh until you purchased that album, so it was erroneously showing that you still had those song credits available.
And just FYI for the future, song credits cannot be used toward the purchase of an entire album.

Licensed version and free download from OTN of Oracle 10g DB

I had a doubt with any difference with the licensed version and free download from OTN of Oracle 10g DB. We had downloaded a free version of oracle 10g
database from OTN and are using it in our live environment. It seems to be working fine. We are trying to get a licensed copy of Oracle 10g DB also but that may take sometime. So, my doubt is whether the free download from OTN should not create any problems in our live environment.
I hope, my question is clear.
Please, help in solving the doubt.
regards

Hello,
There is no difference whether you download from OTN or get so called licensed copy of oracle software. It's free to download and free to use you are using for personal eduction purpose, but if you are using for commercial purpose then you should contact oracle sales for pricing but you can continue with the same software.

Are Soundbooth music and scores free for personal use withut license

Using Soundbooth in CS5. Wondering if Scores and music are free to use without license or does Adobe have all rights to music within Soundbooth Software.

I also know that iWeb is only html, css and js based, but I want to add my own personal stuff that it is not related to apple that will run other things. I am not sure if this will violate apples terms however.
I'm puzzled why you think your modifying the html and other code produced by iweb might possibly violate anything. Is there any other web editing software which imposes such restrictions? If so, I would be curious which ones do that.
I think there are several people in this forum who have used iweb to create some basic code and then used Dreamweaver and other apps to add advanced features they wanted for uploading to non-.Mac server.

Will adding a new OEM Windows 8 license to the system replace and free the current OEM license?

I have computer (computer A) with a Windows 8 Standard OEM license. I would like this computer to run Windows 8 Pro OEM, and move the Standard license to another computer (computer B).
Correct me if I'm wrong (and please confirm if I'm right), but as far as I've understood it the OEM licenses have changed from Windows 7 to Windows 8, and on Windows 8 they are no longer tied to the hardware. Therefore, I assume the license doesn't need the
manufacturer's special disc or recovery drive to install. (This is not really an issue, since I have the DVD anyway.) The Windows 8 license should thus be free to move around, as long as it's only installed on one computer at the time and is activated online.
There should therefor be unproblematic to move the Windows 8 Standard license from computer A to computer B, so that I can install Windows 8 Pro on computer A. If this is true, could I just buy a Pro license, go to Control Panel on computer A and add this license
with "Add features to Windows 8.1"? Will this Pro license then replace my Standard license, or will they co-exist somehow? Will the Standard license be free so that it can be moved to comptuer B after I have added a Pro license? I would rather avoid
formatting computer A, but I will format computer B.

I'm not aware that OEM-supplied/attached licenses are now able to be moved. Can you provide a reference for that theory?
OEM SB (System Builder) licenses, if you are building for yourself (i.e. not building to resell), *DO* allow transfer
http://personaluselicense.windows.com/en-US/default.aspx
So, here's how I understand it:
a) if you build your own computer, and purchase an OEM SB for that computer, for your own personal use, that license can be transferred to another computer.
b) if you buy a computer which is already built and has Windows OEM attached, this Windows license cannot be transferred to another computer

Which Oracle Version or Product to download and install for Personal Use

Hi everyone,
I hope all of you is well.
I would like to work on SQL and PL/SQL on Oracle software for a personal training at home. I would like to practice and improve my coding on Oracle. Regarding this, which FREE latest version of Oracle should I download into my computer?
I really appreciate your help from now on.
Many thanks
Pnouma

Welcome to the forum.
As long it is for personal use only, you can basically download whatever it is you need.
See:
"Developers:
*All software downloads are free, and most come with a Developer License that allows you to use full versions of the products at no charge while developing and prototyping your applications, or for strictly self-educational purposes.* (Unless otherwise specified, our technical support organization will not provide technical support, phone support, or updates to you for the programs licensed under this agreement.) You can buy products with full-use licenses at any time from the online Store or from your sales representative."

I am creating a video using the green screen option- I imported a picture for the background of the project and videotaped someone using a green screen. Is it possible to move the video of the person around so it is not blocking the picture behind it?

I am creating a video using the green screen option in iMovie. I imported a picture for the background of the project and videotaped someone using a green screen. Is it possible to move the video of the person around so it is not blocking the picture behind it?

To enable this right you need Acrobat, not the free Reader.
However, starting from Reader X it is possible to add simple markups to any file, unless it has been specifically disallowed by the creator of the file.

App licensing with a work provided i-device and a personal i-device

If I have 5 personal i-devices I can license an App once and have it synced across the 5 personally owned i-devices.
My questions relate to the following scenario:
1) Work provides me an iPad and buys/installs some work related Apps
2) I have a personally bought iPhone/iPod and I personall buy/install some non-work related Apps
A) Am I allowed to have the work Apps installed on my iPhone?
B) Am I allowed to have my personal Apps installed on my work iPad?

For consumers:
1. As a consumer you can, for personal use, buy a single license for an App and install that on as many iOS devices you own or control. There is thus no need to buy an App multiple times just because you want to use it on your iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
2. As a consumer you can authorize a single iTunes account on up to 5 computers. You can thus store your purchased Apps, music, etc. on up to 5 computers and synch iOS devices from those 5 computers. There is thus no need to buy an App multiple times just because you want to store and synch it from your laptop and your desktop computer.
3. As a consumer you can authorize a single computer for more than one iTunes account and then synch Apps from up to 5 iTunes accounts to your iOS devices. On the iOS devices in the Store section of the Settings app you can log out of one iTunes account, log into another iTunes account and then purchase or redownload Apps using the App Store app. It is thus possible to put Apps on your kid's iPod touch that you purchased with your iTunes account as well as those your wife purchased with her iTunes account.
for educational institutions, other organizations and commercial enterprises?
1. You need to buy one license for an App for each iOS device if that device is used by multiple users or one license of an App per user if that user is using multiple devices.
2. Your organization can authorize a single iTunes account on up to 5 computers. Your organization can thus store the purchased Apps on up to 5 computers and synch iOS devices from those 5 computers. There is thus no need to buy an App multiple times just because your organization wants to store and synch that App from a single employee's laptop and desktop computer.
3. You can authorize a single computer for more than one iTunes account and then synch Apps from up to 5 iTunes accounts to your iOS devices. On the iOS devices in the Store section of the Settings app you can log out of one iTunes account, log into another iTunes account and then purchase or redownload Apps using the App Store app. It is thus possible to put Apps on a employee's iPhone that were purchased with the employee's personal iTunes account as well as those purchased with a company iTunes account.

Is Sol 10+11 Express free for personal use?

Are Solaris 10+11 Express free for personal use and learning?
Peter

There were Express editions of Solaris 10 back in 2004, before the initial Solaris 10 release, just as there are now of Solaris 11 before the official Solaris 11 release - for Solaris, "Express" denotes that it's a pre-release version, not some sort of "light" release.

Is Nokia maps free to use? 90 day license question

I was led to believe that Nokia maps driving use was free and you didn't need to have a license or pay for a subscription once you forked out for a phone.

I have started my 90 day free license not knowing what this is for, is this just for the walk service? Isn't the GPS always free?
Cheers for any advice on this.

What is the difference between subscription and other licence types in Maps 3.0?
Did you know that the latest Ovi Maps 3.03 offers navigation and other services for free? There is no need to use any license on this release. Check if your device is compatible and download the latest version of Maps 3.03 from www.nokia.com/maps/download.
A subscription fee is charged monthly with a phone bill or credit card. You should receive a new licence for the following 30 days automatically in the end of previous licence period. You can cancel the subscription at any point, after which the you are no longer charged for the subscription and don't receive the licence anymore."
Can somebody explain, is it free or not?

Unless you followed, exactly, the instructions on the HT2534 page that you posted from then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used in the store - you should be able to remove your card's details after entering it

A simple and free way of reducing PDF file size using Preview

Note: this is a copy and update of a 5 year old discussion in the Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard discussions which you can find here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/6109398#6109398
This is a simple and free solution I found to reduce the file size of PDFs in OS X, without the high cost and awful UI of Acrobat Pro, and with acceptable quality. I still use it every day, although I have Acrobat Pro as part of Adove Creative Cloud subscription.
Since quite a few people have found it useful and keep asking questions about the download location and destination of the filters, which have changed since 2007, I decided to write this update, and put it in this more current forum.
Here is how to install it:
Download the filters here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41548940/PDF%20compression%20filters%20%28Un zip%20and%20put%20in%20your%20Library%20folder%29.zip
Unzip the downloaded file and copy the filters in the appropriate location (see below).
Here is the appropriate location for the filters:
This assumes that your startup disk's name is "Macintosh HD". If it is different, just replace "Macintosh HD" with the name of your startup disk.
If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion (OS X 10.7.x or 10.8.x) then you should put the downloaded filters in "Macintosh HD/Library/PDF Services". This folder should already exist and contain files. Once you put the downloaded filters there, you should have for example one file with the following path:
"Macintosh HD/Library/PDF Services/Reduce to 150 dpi average quality - STANDARD COMPRESSION.qfilter"
If you are running an earlier vesion of OS X (10.6.x or earlier), then you should put the downloaded filters in "Macintosh HD/Library/Filters" and you should have for example one file with the following path:
"Macintosh HD/Library/Filters/Reduce to 150 dpi average quality - STANDARD COMPRESSION.qfilter"
Here is how to use it:
Open a PDF file using Apple's Preview app,
Choose Export (or Save As if you have on older version of Mac OS X) in the File menu,
Choose PDF as a format
In the "Quartz Filter" drop-down menu, choose a filter "Reduce to xxx dpi yyy quality"; "Reduce to 150 dpi average quality - STANDARD COMPRESSION" is a good trade-off between quality and file size
Here is how it works:
These are Quartz filters made with Apple Colorsinc Utility.
They do two things:
downsample images contained in a PDF to a target density such as 150 dpi,
enable JPEG compression for those images with a low or medium setting.
Which files does it work with?
It works with most PDF files. However:
It will generally work very well on unoptimized files such as scans made with the OS X scanning utility or PDFs produced via OS X printing dialog.
It will not further compress well-optimized (comrpessed) files and might create bigger files than the originals,
For some files it will create larger files than the originals. This can happen in particular when a PDF file contains other optomizations than image compression. There also seems to be a bug (reported to Apple) where in certain circumstances images in the target PDF are not JPEG compressed.
What to do if it does not work for a file (target PDF is too big or even larger than the original PDF)?
First,a good news: since you used a Save As or Export command, the original PDF is untouched.
You can try another filter for a smaller size at the expense of quality.
The year being 2013, it is now quite easy to send large files through the internet using Dropbox, yousendit.com, wetransfer.com etc. and you can use these services to send your original PDF file.
There are other ways of reducing the size of a PDF file, such as apps in the Mac App store, or online services such as the free and simple http://smallpdf.com
What else?
Feel free to use/distribute/package in any way you like.

Thanks ioscar.
The original link should be back online soon.
I believe this is a Dropbox error about the traffic generated by my Dropbox shared links.
I use Dropbox mainly for my business and I am pretty upset by this situation.
Since the filters themsemves are about 5KB, I doubt they are the cause for this Dropbox misbehavior!
Anyway, I submitted a support ticket to Dropbox, and hope everything will be back to normal very soon.
In the meantime, if you get the same error as ioscar when trying to download them, you can use the link in the blog posting he mentions.
This is out of topic, but for those interested, here is my understanding of what happened with Dropbox.
I did a few tests yesterday with large (up to 4GB) files and Dropbox shared links, trying to find the best way to send a 3 hour recording from French TV - French version of The Voice- to a friend's 5 year old son currently on vacation in Florida, and without access to French live or catch up TV services. One nice thing I found is that you can directly send the Dropbox download URL (the one from the Download button on the shared link page) to an AppleTV using AirFlick and it works well even for files with a large bitrate (except of course for the Dropbox maximum bandwidth per day limit!). Sadly, my Dropbox shared links were disabled before I could send anything to my friend.
I may have used a significant amount of bandwidth but nowhere near the 200GB/day limit of my Dropbox Pro account.
I see 2 possible reasons to Dropbox freaking out:
- My Dropbox Pro account is wronngly identified as a free account by Dropbox. Free Dropbox accounts have a 20GB/day limit, and it is possible that I reached this limit with my testing, I have a fast 200Mb/s internet access.
- Or Dropbox miscalculates used bandwidth, counting the total size of the file for every download begun, and I started a lot of downloads, and skipped to the end of the video a lot of times on my Apple TV.

Using Aperture 3.51 I am having frequent crashes and freez ups when editing Canon raw files?

HI,
I have an IMac with 4 G of Ram and am using Apeture 3.51. When trying to edit CS2 raw files I experience frequent crashes and freez ups of the whole computer. Any suggestions?

You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor. This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow. What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer. The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?
Printing Your Images
There is also a good appendix on calibration:
