Cheapest way to get VLK for Windows 8.1 Pro

Usually the cheapest way is 1 8.1 upgrade and 4 server 2012 Cals.
The server cals run about $30ish if I remember correctly.jackwithers wrote:

RegardsThis is true, you will have match Pro to Pro, ect. I believe this set up also involves using KMS to activate.

People report they just buy 4 Windows Vista DVD playback packs, and one Windows 8.1 Pro license, however I cannot seem to find this on the Adviser.If I speak to a Microsoft representative will they offer me the 1x Win 8.1 Pro and 4x Windows Vista Business license. Being able to create one golden image and deploy unattended for various clients would save a lot of time and as a result, money, as staff can...

    If your phone is not covered by the warranty anymore, Apple will replace it for a new device, same model and size, if you are willing to pay the service fee.
    If you decide to get a 3rd party company to do the repair, Apple will not service your phone anymore after that.
    Out-of-warranty repair service
    If your repair isn’t covered by Apple’s One Year Limited Warranty, AppleCare+, or AppleCare Protection Plan, your iPhone might be eligible for out-of-warranty service. For example, liquid damage isn’t covered by warranty but might be eligible for out-of-warranty service. Some damage isn’t eligible at all, for example if your device has been broken into multiple pieces. See Apple’s Repair Terms and Conditions for complete details.

  • I was recently burglarized and lost a bunch of Apple products. Is there a way to get receipts for items purchased with my apple id?

    I was recently burglarized and lost a bunch of Apple products. Is there a way to get receipts for items purchased with my Apple ID?

    Yes if you go to http://store.apple.com/ on the top right under the search it will say "Account" or your first name. You will click or tap that and you will click "check order status" sign in. After you do that in the middle by the order date and number it will say "print invoices" and as long as your item(s) have been ship you will be able to see and print your invoice receipts. you can view items purchased in the last 18 months.

  • Cheapest way to get patches

    I am about to leave my employment, but I want to still be able to get patches for Oracle 11g on Linux at home.
    I don't want to pay too much for it, though!
    Am I correct to think that a single-year, 1 Named User Plus purchase of Oracle Personal Edition is the cheapest way to continue to get patches for Oracle-on-Linux, pretty much as I would in a commercial environment?
    Secondary question: the Oracle Store lists that personal edition at (for example) $100 per Named User Plus but then adds on another $120 for "Cost of first year support". Am I right to think that next year I would only be charged $120 (or whatever it may have increased to by then)? In other words, if I pay $220 today, next year, I'll only have to pay the support component?

  • Easy way to get music from Windows Media to itunes

    I have the 30gb ipod and I have over 450 songs saved on my computers hard drive as wma files. Is there as easy way to get these into itunes other than converting one song at a time? I tried syncing my ipod to Windows Media (where all my songs are) and it states that that all songs have been synced, but my ipod is still blank. Please help me or I am going to buy a different music player that can sync to other outlets then itunes.
    Your help is greatly appreciated!!

    If the WMA files are "unprotected", iTunes for Windows can convert them when you add them to your library. It should do this automatically.
    See: How to add songs from your hard drive to iTunes.
    Importing WMA files into iTunes for Windows.
    If not, see: How to convert a song to a different format using iTunes.
    iTunes: About the "Add to Library/Import/Convert functions.
    However, iTunes cannot convert "protected" WMA files.
    The only way to convert these files would be to burn them to an "audio" cd and import that into iTunes as you would any other cd.

  • BEST WAY TO GET BOOKS FOR THE IPAD

    What is the best way to get books on my ipad ?? Do i use Ibooks or another site? Also do i use itunes cards or do i need ibooks cards ?? instead of a credit card.

    ebooks tend to have digital rights management on them, so if you buy an ebook from a site then you can generally only read them in that store's app / e-reader - so books bought from Apple can only be read in the iBooks app, books from Amazon in the Kindle app / e-reader etc.  As to which is best, then it depends on what books you want, who sells them and their prices, and whether they have an app for the iPad where you can read them. If you buy from Apple then you can use iTunes cards or your credit card.
