Developer licensing for CS and CC products

Hello,
I am trying to find information on obtaining developer licensing for older Adobe CS and current Adobe CC products.
I am a software developer and my software interacts with all Mac Desktop applications via Apple's Accessibility API. In order to ensure proper communication between my app and Adobe Apps, I need to be able to run Adobe Apps for the purpose of testing. Ideally, I am hoping that Adobe has a developer program or is able to (on a case-by-case basis) provide licenses to a developer either a) at a discount or b) do some sort of license trade. If anyone know who to contact or what options are available, I would really appreciate some assistance. I have looked at the Adobe developer programs and SDK's, but that is not what I am looking for. I am not developing add-ons for Adobe products but rather I need to test that my software works properly with the dozens of Adobe applications. As an independent developer purchasing licenses for all Adobe products is not an option. Additionally, I need to be able to test older versions of Adobe Apps such as the CS5 and CS6, so I need access to that software as well.
Ensuring compatibility of my Accessibility application with Adobe products has proven to be a nearly impossible task due to the inconsistent behavior of some Adobe applications. I put a lot of time and effort into making sure my software works with all applications and Adobe products seem to be the most troublesome. Most non-Adobe applications work perfectly with my application and it seems that every version of every Adobe app requires special coding within my app to accommodate Adobe apps. It would be great if Adobe could somehow accommodate my licensing needs.
Specifically, I am looking for answers to the following questions:
Does Adobe offer free/discounted developer licenses for the purpose of compatibility testing?
Does any Adobe developer program allow access to the entire Adobe product line going back as far as CS5?
Who do I contact at Adobe to discuss my needs and possible solutions?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

In order to gain access to older versions you would have to have an existing license that entitle you to use them, but otherwise it's only Creative Cloud and a bit of CS6 from here on, with even CS6 phasing out. Since you are not developing actual Adobe software, this also severely limits your chances of being accepted into any Beta/ Developer program, but feel free to try:

Note that there is no global CC program and the applications are handled individually for every app. It's entirely up to the teams to let you in or kick you out.

Developer License for DB and E-Business Suites

I was a fulltime Oracle DBA from 1982 until 2003. Since then I have only done occasional consulting, setting up RMAN, installing software, patches, etc. for Oracle products, and I no longer have a MetaLink account (disabled) as I am not currently a customer or working for a customer.
It used to be that CD Packs could be purchased (or you could download) and you could use the software for development purposes without paying for the license - under the premise of a "developer's license".
Now it seems that the "Trial Packs" are limited to 30 days and after that you have to purchase a full license.
I want to get back into my DBA role and need the software, on 64 bit Linux, in order to get back up to speed - and 30 days is not sufficient for my plans. I have never had more than fleeting exposure to Oracle financials, and I also want to install some of the E-Business Suite.
Is there sill a developer's license good for truly developing or self-training? and is there a way to obtain the necessary MetaLink account without being a paying customer? MetaLink was a daily destination for me as a DBA. I can't imagine it being any less so today.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Thank you Yingkuan. Oracle Express isn't a solution. I have worked with Oracle versions 2 through 10g and still have valid copies of 9iR2 (and others) that I could practice with. I need current, hands-on experience with the current products.
I have a 4 core, 8 GB RAM, 3 TB RAID setup with 64 bit Linux... not exactly the investment you put out for Oracle Express.
I said MetaLink was a "daily destination" (not a "day to day job")... when supporting between 12 and 20 instances, managing 3 to 4 junior to mid-level DBAs, supporting both production and development, and working with 10 or 12 developers, it always was a daily destination. Granted, there are a LOT of things answered by Google and other sites (like Werner Puschitz's site); but, Oracle is, or should be, the source.
Thanks again for your response.

Sorry, but this is a peer-to-peer user support forum. HP maintains no official presence on the forum. There is no way to trace your stolen computer. Please file a claim with your insurance agent or company for the loss. They will require a copy of the police report.
The reason your OS is invalid is because it is tied to the motherboard in your stolen computer. The HP OEM Windows OS requires information in HP motherboard to cause the OS to activate. This is the way the OEM licenses works. The only proper way to correct this issue is to purchase a new copy of Windows.

Oracle License for SE and SE1

Dear All,
Just confused after reading multiple documents that Oracle license for SE and SE1 is based on Sockets and not on CPU cores like EE.
So my question is If have 2 socket motherboard and I install 4 CPU cores on these 2 sockets. How should i obtain license from Oracle for SS and EE?
Like only for 2 sockets into per socket license cost for SE? (2 CPU cost for SE)
But for the same machine and for EE edition I have to buy license for 4 CPU cores? (4 CPU cost for EE)
Is this understanding correct?
Also please guide me how to license Logical standby in case if reports are running from Logical standby and if this logical standby is ONLY brought into use when production server fails. What is the difference?
Thanks a lot.
Regards, Imran

by my understanding, Oracle for linux is free for development purpose only. you can use it as long as you are using it only for development. howver, you have to buy proper licenses if you want to deploy it in a production env.
Oracle 8i is several hundreds Meg in size. depending on your internet connection, you may want to request a free CD.

Hi,
I had PostGresql database installed on my Linux machine. And have MS Access database from Windows 98 connect to the PostGresql database. For some reason it is too slow. So I decided to try Oracle for Linux, and I heard peoples told me that Oracle for Linux is free. I had used Oracle in windows environment, and It's very fast. So probably oracle on linux machine and have MS Access connect to it using ODBC should be fast too.
My point is Oracle for Linux is free? and for how long, and for how many concurrent users? To install it, should I download it from the Oracle web site, or should I install it from a CD-ROM?

Hi, I like to know if anyone out there is using Windows Server forHyperion and Oracle on AIX as DB. How have you applied the licensing for DEV and QA ? Is ita separate license for DEV and separate license for QA. Thanks Azmat Bhatti 

Hi,
Its simple. Check your Output Type in SPAD. where in also check the printer driver name. printer drivers is named in the SAP system with unique four character
code, such as STN2.
The default will be SWIN: Windows (SAPlpd/SAPWIN). Compare your Dev System.
Feel free to revert back.

Virtual environment license for sql and other dependencies of sharepoint in Azure

We have Microsoft ActionPack. And we use Sharepoit 2013 from ActionPack , which is installed on our server.
But our on premise server doesn't satisfy the hardware requirement for sharepoint, and thus it is too slow to use.
So we decided to move sharepoint 2013 to Microsoft azure.
But we don't have any idea of virtual environment license for sql and other dependencies of sharepoint in Azure.
Do we have to purchase separate license for sql server and other dependencies.?

Hi BabeeshC,
Before you deploy SharePoint 2013 on the Azure platform, you must ensure that your Azure virtualization solution meets all the licensing requirements.
Every element of a SharePoint 2013 farm that is installed on Azure virtual machines must comply with the licensing requirements for SharePoint 2013 and related and supporting technologies.
SharePoint 2010 and SQL Server licenses should be purchased separately.

License for testing and production systems

Hi Experts
Can any one help me out on implementing license in my B1 System.
According to our contract we have licensed following user types:
User Type
Licensed
AddOn Access License 25
Professional User 5
Software Development Kit - Development Version 20
We have Test/development system in one hardware and Production system on different hardware. Please advice me how to request/allocate license for my test/development system and production system.
We tried creating a Test System in SAP Market place and requested license for test system. While requesting license for production system, it is found that the license is exceeded. In other words, developent system license also counted.
Please advice me on the best practices of B1 license implementation.
Thanks and regards
Ajith G

Hi,
Our customer wants to Keep the production data secure. Developers and consultants should not have the access to it.
Then you have only two options:
1.Either you should maintain a standalone b1 server for the developers and consultants to test their solutions and scenarios.
2.Otherwise you can create users in sql studio for accessing only the test database.
So that as per your requirement
All configurations and sample data will be kept in a test environment where developers and consultants can do their work.Once everything is correct Admin will do the transfer to production.
Note:New users can be created in the sql studio under Databases-><Company Db>->Security->Users, Rt.click new user

Contact Point for a HIGHER level of development licensing for iPhone?

I know about the Enterprise Program.
I know about the Individual Developer Program.
I am looking for a contact point, for which our legal team could contact for a development/licensing agreement that doesn't fit within either of those two programs.
The company I work for is not small potatos and is a major player in the market we are focusing on. We are still far from of till we have a complete product, but our legal team wants to start discussions now with Apple... so everything can get worked out by the time we are ready to go.
So if one of the Apple folks see this, I am sure you can see my email address in my private profile... please email me directly. If someone else happens to know, please post it if you can. Even if it is just a number, that I can call to talk to someone... to get the next phone number to call.
I hope that all made sense.

Actually... yes, that is 1 of the 2 reasons I posted here.
Reason 1: That those that have the administrative and moderation access in this forum, also has access to the account information of the members that have signed up here. Which pretty much every forum software package grants the rights to those of the administrative/moderator staff. Or at least at a minimum could reply to the post, with the information that I am seeking.
Reason 2: This is a discussion forum, and I thought... people come here to help one another. And as I listed before, we tried the LEGAL contact page on Apple.com, no luck there. We tried going via iPhone developer program information contacts... dead end. And our legal contacts did in fact try to reach out to contacts that we also did have on file... and those also ended up in a dead end.
So excuse me for using yet another avenue of communicating with Apple and people who may also have or are going through the same situation.
As for the sarcastic replies... I know exactly why I am getting them, and hence why I returned them. I am absolutely no stranger to the anonymous world of discussion forums. But if you want to continue thinking that everything is just like slicing a piece of apple pie, and serving...
Then you seriously underestimating the complexity of issues like this.
All I did was come here to ask for some assistance when every known avenue has turned up to be a dead end. I thank the person that provided at least another avenue, that may lead to proper solution.
Grouch Marx was an interesting character. Last I checked, this wasn't a club. Or maybe it is, and you only want to keep to your own and forget the thousands if not magnitudes more of people that are just looking for a simple answer to a problem.

Developing solutions for small and medium enterprises (FREE)?

I heard that Oracle Express DATABASE is free. Is it absolutely true?
Also I heard that if you use developer (forms, reports builder) and you leave the FMX / REP files in your customer it is also for free (no license cost).
How true is it?
Oh, the real question is...
what would you suggest?
Developing small solutions in web (with VISUAL STUDIO <dot net>) connecting with ORACLE EXPRESS?
or Still use developer 6.1 (remember for small and medium enterprises).
I suggest your comments.
gracias

That is only half true, and the part about Oracle Express only applies as long as the database remains less than 1 GB in size.
I have not heard any indication that Developer 6i/9i/10g content can be developed and used without a license. Oracle Applications Express (HTMLDB replacement) is a cool Free tool that interacts well with Oracle Express.

One license for OSX and PC?

Is there any way that I can purchase one license (with educational discount) and use it for BOTH my Mac and PC?
Per the licensing: when I buy a copy I can install it on two PCs OR two Macs, but not one of each, correct? I personally think this is a bit ridiculous and refuse to buy two copies.
Looking at the volume licensing, found at http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/volumelicensing/policies/?PID=2159997 it says..
Cross-platform licensing
Adobe Volume Licensing (AVL) customers receive product serial numbers for both Windows® and Mac OS as long as the product is available for both and the two platforms are the same version. Program members can choose to use either platform, as long as the total number of licenses being used does not exceed the number purchased."
However, does that mean that I can use it on both, as long as they aren't running at the same time, or that I must choose to install one or the other?
I am willing to buy the volume license (though a bit more expensive), but I absolutely refuse to buy two licenses.
Is there any solution where I don't have to buy two licenses? (according to one site I can buy backup disks for each platform with a volume license, but I don't want to do that either)

Yes, that particular language on multi-platform is explained here, and how that should work
I don't think you have to buy backup discs unless you personally need them, although they're only $20 apiece anyway and not a bad idea to have

FlexBuilder license for Mac and Windows

I just got a new MacBook Pro and I'd like to be able to start
developing on it using FlexBuilder for the Mac. I've been doing
some research, and the Windows license is not compatible with the
Mac version. I did find some info on the
Adobe
Flex FAQ. Does this mean that if I "trade-in" my license that
it will no longer be valid for Windows? Or am I trading my
Windows-only license for one that works on both systems? Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks.
Evan

PSE9 is multi-platform so you can run both side by side, subject to a maximum of two installations.
If you ever need to transfer PSE9 to another computer you must first deactivate the Editor by going to Help >Deactivate (it will be grayed out in trial versions)

ABAP development license for integration certification

Hello to all the forum members,
My company is interested in certification some ABAP development that was developed for one of our costumers.
The development was done using a developer license of the costumer and as we understood, ABAP development license is a pre-requisite to the integration certification process in order to receive your own name space.
Could you please let me know if the costumer developer license is enough for us to start with the integration certification process.
Thanks,
Amit

Hi Amit,
I also have something I want to present as "Powered by NetWeaver".
Maybe we can combine forces and marketing?
please contact me at: [email protected]
I will call you back.
BTW, I live now in Canada...
