CAL Licensing For 2008 R2 Standard Server

Hi All
I am upgrading a 2003 Domain Controller with 20 CALs to a 2008 Server R2 Domain Controller that comes with 5 CALs.
Firstly, can I use the existing 20 CALs with the new 2008 R2 server?
Secondly, for the life of me I cannot find anywhere that sells Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard CAL licenses. Which I would require 15 of to match my original 20.
Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks!
Ashley Colton

Hi Ashley,
For Server 2008 R2 you need 2008 or later version of CALs. You cannot use your 2003 licenses. Typically what you would do is purchase the latest license version (2012) and they will cover the previous version. Below is sample pricing
for 2012 CALs only (no Software Assurance) for Open Business licensing program:
Windows Server 2012 User CAL Open Business Part# R18-04281 $29.47
http://www.provantage.com/microsoft-r1804281~1350612209.htm
Windows Server 2012 Device CAL Open Business Part# R18-04277 $25.63
http://www.provantage.com/microsoft-r1804277~1350612599.htm
I recommend you contact a major Microsoft reseller and ask to speak to a Microsoft Volume Licensing specialist. They can help you determine the correct licensing program for you, give you correct part#s, etc.

How to switch licensed for "ADOBE DESIGN STANDARD" from iMac to Macbook Pro?

I am currently licensed for "ADOBE DESIGN STANDARD" on an iMac. I have a new MacBook Pro and want to use that instead of the iMac. Do i need to get a new license key? or ??
I know i can download an "eval" copy on the laptop, but how do i switch license keys? i'm not even sure i still have the (valid) license key for the iMac...can i request another??

As long as you are staying within the same general platform (PC vs Mac) you do not need to change licensing. You are allowed to have two activated installations with your license, so you should be able to install on the new machine without having to worry about the older one at all (unless you ever want to free up the second activation for yet another machine). As you mentioned, you can download the trial version and use the serial number from your purchase to activate it to full use.
If you registered your software with Adobe, the serial number should be available via your Adobe account online. If you didn't register it then you will at least understand why it pays to do so.
IF you end up needing to resolve any issues with activating the product on the new machine you will need to contact Adobe Support directly. Here are some links to help make contact:

CAL License for server 2012R2

Around $800 USD sounds right for Server itself (the Standard edition). In addition to that, you need user or device licenses, known as a CAL. Typically people buy user CALs but there are situations where device makes sense. The Server license does not include CALs, so you do need to buy them separately.

I ask a IT vendor company for a License for server 2012R2
He give me the price of 3000AED = 800+ USD
so at the time of delivery he ask for 4 CAL licenses he said that you have to purchase it.
Any Idea about licensing of server 2012R2

Extend license for evaluation versions of server 2008 rs and sql 2008 rs

We had to stop our testing because of seasonal business requirements and now have only 11 days before the expiration of our trial versions of SQL Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008 R2. How do we extend the license for 60 days to complete our testing
and start the move to a new production system?

Hi,
Please refer to following article and check if can help you.
Extending
Your Activation Grace Period on Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2
However, as GreenlightTech suggested, purchasing licenses and activating will be a better option before activation

Installing additinal cals in existing 2008 R2 terminal server.

<style type="text/css">P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }</style>
Hi ,
we are using windows server 2008 R2 terminal licensing server which is having 10 user CALs
now we planned to purchase some more CALS for example additional 20 CALS per user
Note : This is the first time we are adding the CALs in existing cals server.
Kindly clarify my query below:
1. what is the procedure to add the CALS with existing CALs.?
2. while installing the new license do we need to deactivate the terminal server ?what will be the impact ?
3. whether we need to define the users per CALs ?
Regards,
Baki.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Based on your description, it seems that you already have RDS License server & RDS per User CAL installed on server 2008 R2. And now you want to add other RDS User CAL. For this you can follow the same procedure when you add the CAL. Also suggest you to
contact MS Clearing house and explain him the whole scenario that you want to add the CAL to your existing environment and they will help you to achieve your goal.
Locate the Microsoft Clearinghouse Telephone Number for Your Country or Region

Issue in Upgrading Windows 2008 R2 Standard server to Windows 2012 Standard Srever

Hi
We have a Windows Server 2008 R2 stadard running... (came with the server).
To use 64GB, we have just purchased a licence key (retail) and downloaded ISO (Evaluation version) to upgrade.
Then I got this error message saying that
"Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard cannot be upgraded to Windows Server 2012 Standard Evaluation (Server with a GUI). You can choose to install a new copy of Windows Server 2012 Standard Evaluation (Server with a GUI) instead, but this is different from
an upgrade, and does not keep your files, settings, and programs."
Well, fresh installation is not an option for me. no way..
I read somewhere that it is because I am trying to upgrade from licenced 2008 R2 standard to evaluation 2012 standard. Then I saw a screenshot where you supply a licence key after selecting an edition to choose..
I don't get that screen sinceit is the evaluation version.
Well, I am supposed to upgrade the system before the end of the new year... now I am in a panic.. - - ;;
Can anyone help me with this please???

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Agree with words of “Dave & Tim” and based on my research, we need to perform a clean installation of Windows Server 2012 Evaluation Versions instead upgrading.
However, if we have licensed Windows Server 2012, we can upgrade to Windows Server 2012 by referring to the Upgrading previous retail versions of Windows Server to Windows Server 2012 part of
Evaluation Versions and Upgrade Options for Windows Server 2012.
Hope it helps!

The forever license is mentioned as "perpetual" otherwise its going to be on yearly basis. But , still I would be fully agreed with Fahd and would suggest that you discuss this your local oracle sales rep. I believe no one would pay the listed price and there can be tons of ways to do price negotiations and for all this and any other hidden paradigms, oracle's official sales is the best resource to check with. Anything said by anyone over here and elsewhere by a non-employee, won't be honored by oracle.

Server CAL License for SAP Server

Hi
Do we need Windows Server CAL for SAP Server, as we have Server 2008 R2 for our SAP Server.
Please guide.
Regards
Ajay Goel

Hi Wee,
By definition every device connecting to a Windows server needs a CAL. However, neither the OS nor the SAP system "counts" them.
Depending on which kind of clients you have (Windows XP/Vista OEM, Volume licenses etc.) you have a CAL included.
So based on SAP users created and other users required in your landscape , you may procure respective CALS.
Hope this helps.

How to get CAL license type from installed window server 2008 r2

Hi,
we have domain controllers which is installed with windows server 2008 r2 datacenter. now we need get the cal information of that servers like whether its per device or per user. can I get the information from an installed server. any scripts?
Thanks, Venkatesh. "Hardwork Never Fails"

Hi Venkatesh,
As Diramoh suggested, we do not need to install CAL in Windows Servers unless it is RDS CALs. You can put the document into your administration papers.
However, if you need further assistance about license, it is recommended to visit the Volume Licensing Microsoft Licensing Center.

Can SSIS 2012 execute packages built on 2008 R2 BI for 2008 R2 SQL Server?

We have a query regarding SSIS instalattion on application server. As SQL Server 2008 R2 is getting out of life, DBAs are suggesting to install SSIS 2012. Now our concern is
that our SQL Server DB Server is on 2008 R2, and developers are building packages using SSIS 2008.
Considering we deploy file packages, and backward compatibility, theoretically it shall work. There are 3 things here -
1. {2008 R2 SSIS Package} ------ Deployed On -------> 2. {Server with 2012 SSIS installation} ------- Connects to -------> 3. {SQL Server 2008 R2 DB Instance}
Any recommendation on this. Would it work? Anything which could cause issue?
As we have to pay for license, do not want be in a situation where we pay for SSIS 2012 installation on server (#2 above) and then realize that there is some issue
Regards, Amit Gupta

Hi Amit,
Just as Visakh and hsbal said, there will be no issues as SSIS 2012 will work with standard previous versions of SQL Server packages. But some custom SSIS Tasks can always throw error after upgrading packages from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012.
About this, please remember to do the following things:
Change your custom tasks and components to target the .NET 4.0 Framework in each of the project properties, in the Application Tab, under Target framework.
Update the assembly references in each of your projects to point to the appropriate SqlServer dlls.
Build and copy your project dlls to the appropriate directory, depending on what kind of components you are updating, i.e. Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\PiplelineComponents
Register your components in the GAC.
Close Visual Studio and then reopen; open your SSIS packages and refresh the SSIS Toolbox, by right clicking in the tool box and selected Refresh Toolbox.
Besides, if some of your script task throw errors to you, we can open the script task in VSTA, insert Breakpoint to debug the scripts, then find the root cause. For more details, please see:
Debug a Script by Setting Breakpoints in a Script Task and Script Component

License for running on a server

I'm just wanting to verify something that the Adobe sales guy told me on the phone, before spending money.
I need my program to be able to print things via scheduled tasks without someone being logged into the computer. I called the sales people at Adobe to ask what kind of license will let me do this, and he told me that I would need a volume license because a volume license will work without a registration (meaning it will run from a scheduled task without someone logged into the computer), but the retail license (which we have) has to have someone logged into the computer. (though we can apparently use it on a server just so long as everyone that uses it has a license).
I just want to make sure that he knew what he was talking about.

Ok,
b assuming
that what the sales guy told me was true about volume licensing being legal for what I want to do... (because I told him the whole scenario, and I hope their sales staff is knowledgeable)
Is it
b technically
possible to do what I want to do?
Basically the server does automatic image captures, and I have to go in and merge them all into a PDF a couple times a day.
I want to automate it, so that I don't have to go in to do it, and so that it'll run over the weekend.
If I get the volume licensed version, will it run as a scheduled task without someone physically logged in?

Access Denied when accessing ipc$ but not admin$ of a Windows 2008 R2 Standard server

From a Windows 2008 R2 Server,
c:\> net use * \\<winserver2008>\ipc$
System error 66 has occurred.
The network resource type is not correct.
c:\> net use * \\<winserver2008>\admin$
Drive Z: is now connected to \\<winserver2008\admin$.
However, running the above commands from a Windows 2003 Server, I have no problem at all.
Does anyone has any idea?

Hello nww,
The problem is caused by UAC and the elevated privileges required to access the administrative shares. This
Microsoft KB article (951016) describes the issue in Windows Vista
To better protect those users who are members of the local Administrators group, we implement UAC restrictions on the network. This mechanism helps prevent against "loopback" attacks. This mechanism also helps prevent local malicious software
from running remotely with administrative rights.
and the steps to resolve it, open a new PowerShell window as administrator:
New-ItemProperty HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System -name "LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy" -value "1" -propertyType dword
A word of caution: this is opening up a security hole and it should only be done with careful consideration of the risks. The need to use PSExec to remotely run a process was an important part of the deployment, however the same result
could be achieved using PowerShell remoting. Until it’s tested and we’re ready to deploy that, I’ll be using this method.
