Can I install BOE XI r2 on a CE 10 Server (not upgrade)?

Greetings! I have recently inherited responsibility of getting all our customers upgraded to BOE XI from CE 10. I am finding that if you attempt to install BOE XI R2 on the server that currently has CE 10, you have no choice but to upgrade.
Upgrading has two problems for our organization:
   #1- The events brought over from the CE 10 server do not function. You can see them,
         the history is all there, the schedule is "known" to BOE, but the data source is incorrect
         and cannot be updated. This could probably qualify as another question but frankly, I do
         not care if I fix this problem, provided I can do a separate BOE install and run the import
         utility. This is because of.......
   #2- When you upgrade there is no choice for changing the SQL database that Enterprise
         uses. We are a Progress shop, not an SQL shop so uniformity is very important here.
         Almost all installs/ upgrades will be performed by simply following printed directions.
         All new BOE customers will be on MySQL (as shipped with BOE R2), we really want
         consistent installs across our customer base if possible.
Obviously installing BOE XI R2 on a separate server would be an option but many of the smaller customers are barely using Enterprise now and not in a financial position to just go out and buy new servers.
What is BOE XI R2 looking for to determine that CE is installed? Is there a way to "trick" the installer into performing a fresh install yet still maintain the old CE MS SQL database to import the reports and repository?
Thank-you in advance for any help you can provide.
Happy New Year,
Bill

William,
It is not possible to install BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2 alongside of Crystal Enterprise 10. You will have to upgrade the servers in place. Although speaking through my experience this process is fairly seemless and hardly ever has issue. If you are looking to do side by side installs and saving costs for your customer base I would recommend looking at using a virtualization product like VMware Server or Workstation as a temporary bridge to get both products installed side by side. Also one other thing you mentioned you are a progress shop, but you should know that the CMS repository database that runs the application can not be hosted on progress. MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, UDB DB2 and Sybase your only options for the CMS. For reporting you can use a wider range of products.

Can't install Lightroom 5 on a second computer, I am NOT a creative cloud customer, I am a stand-alone user. How do I enter my serial number???

I can't install Lightroom 5 on a second computer, I am NOT a creative cloud customer, I am a stand-alone user. But when I try to install on my laptop, it always trys to sell me the monthly membership. How do I enter my serial number in the second copy of lightroom? It won't ask me for it, and I cannot enter it anywhere in the settings? I am stuck

You probably downloaded the Cloud version. Get the licensed version thru the following linked page...

Error message: can't install update, firefox is already running, but it is not

second request
an auto update failed a few days ago and now everytime I open FF I get an error message that says can't install update, firefox is already running, but it is not!
the parent.lock file is not open when FF is closed
in addition to this message, a box opens asking looking for a file
Help!

hi
I had the same problem (update failed for normal user, update worked for administrator, but then normal user still got asked about installing the update even though it was already done).
Following the advice on http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_update#Software_Update_not_working_properly worked for me, in particular to remove the update-related xml files.
good luck

I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard. Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solveby myself? (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard. Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solve by myself- a person with limited problem solving abilities. (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the size and RAM installed.
"Yesterday I couldn't update the maps on my Garmin because it said the OS I had wouldn't work"
What OS will your Garmin work with? Funny there was someone else that did that and upgraded to Yosemite and regretted it.
I'd say Lion if your Garmin is compatible.
Both Lion and Mountain Lion are downloadable from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

The OSs will get more resource hungry the higher you go.

If the phone was purchased in a Middle Eastern country that has banned FaceTime, there is no way to enable. Otherwise, FaceTime is already installed.

This will pobably do http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/1051/lang/en but the major issue is that you should concentrate and read the instructions carefully. My two cents.

Plese Help. Me have FAT 32 USB, ISO, Boot cam say can't install windows support software because the software update server "(null)" can't be found.
I know there are many other threads, but I guess I couldn't find clear answer to this problem. Is that the Apple's server problem or just me?
I'm trying to install Windows7 via Bootcamp, with FAT 32 formated USB with ISO, on Macbook air 2012.
Thanks!

The problem is the encryption and how your notebook handles it rather than a Time Capsule problem. I had similar problems until I updated the WLAN drivers on my IBM T41.
The way I convinced myself it wasn't an Apple problem was to connect my IBM T41, via ethernet, to my AEBSn. I was able to connect to internet so I knew it was a conflict between my wireless card and the AEBSn.
I am now using the WPA2 encryption for the AEBS without issue and connecting many different types of hardware; three iPod Touches, two MSI Wind Netbooks (Win XP SP3), one IBM T41 (Win XP SP2) wirelessly and both my 20" iMac and Dell 8250 Win XP (SP2) by ethernet
The MSI Winds are brand new and they would connect to the AEBSn but couldn't get an IP address from the internet (Limited or No Connectivity error message). The AEBSn was using WEP encryption. After doing a little research I found that WEP was a very common cause of this error message so I switched the AEBSn to WPA2 and everything works fine now.
Don't assume that because you can't connect via OPEN it isn't a encryption issue because my Winds wouldn't connect that way either...it wasn't until I changed to the WPA2 Personal that they connected.
You may also need to change the program that handles the WLAN connection, sometimes Windows handles it better but for the newest addition to our household, the MSI Winds, I am using the Realtek utility that matches the WLAN card and everything is hunky dory...
Finally sometimes firewalls will prevent getting the IP address...doesn't happen often but it has happened to me so I would double-check that by turning off the Windows Firewall and just verify that it isn't the firewall (that's never been a problem with my Apple AEBSn but it was a problem with an older Dlink g model).

No, if they bought it, then its theirs. You may wish to contract iTS for options in case it was part of the Mac Acceptance.

How many laptops can I install on with only one lightroom 6 license? (not cc version)

I read from somewhere that one creative cloud account can be used on two different devices, but what about the lightroom 6 version?
If I pay $149 for lightroom 6, how many laptops can I install on? I now have one windows laptop and one mac.
Thanks for helping.

I selected yours as the correct answer because of the webpage you provided, but I cannot understand that what "only use it on one computer at a time".
If the software is for offline use, how does it know if I'm running it on another computer?

Can I install Windows 8 on an older Mac Pro with Mavericks upgrade?

I have an Early 2008 Mac Pro which I just upgraded to Mavericks, which came with Boot Camp 5.1. Can I install Windows 8 on my machine? The information on this site suggests I can only use Windows 7 with Boot Camp 4 on my system, but does this take an upgraded OS into account? Put another way, is the version compatibility determined only by my OS, or also by my hardware (processor, memory, etc.). This is the first time I will be using Boot Camp to install Windows on this machine.

no, it is determined mainly by machine type then by requisite driver support in the OSX
officially, x64 w7 is as far as you can go but google around, i'm sure there have been people who got w8 to work
