Developing a Non-commercial app

Hey everyone!!!
I'm developing an app for the company I work for, it isn't going to be commercial. Do I need to register it in the Windows Store?

What do you mean by "mobile device"? There is no difference for Windows Store apps on desktop and mobile devices. They run the same OS and have the same side-loading options. Again, for more details on this please check out TechNet and the TechNet
forms.
There are some differences for Windows Phone apps, but since you posted in the
Building Windows Store apps with C# or VB forum I assume that's not what you're looking for.

Mac App Store Non-Commercial users only? What about Lion for businesses?

When I read the Mac App Store agreement it indicates that the accounts are for 'non commercial' use. I supposed this was to stop companies purchasing an app and using 5 times at no extra cost.
If we want to download and install the Lion update on our company Macs how are we supposed to do this? The same goes for the Server component.
Further, I have used my own personal account to use a program in the office that I had purchased at home for playing quick games at lunch time, or for free apps like Twitter. Will these stop working if I have to create a company wide account just for Lion downloads?
Lastly, our internet connection speed is very poor due to our geographic location. Will we need to download Lion separately for each computer?
Sorry if Lion questions are a bit premature, but I'm trying to plan ahead.

Apple is not actually here, just fellow Apple product users. Those business questions are probably best dealt with in a telephone call directly to Apple, either Apple HQ in Cupertino, CA, or at least the closest Apple Store.
Your games are for you to freely install on computers that you own and control personally. That would seem to include a company computer issued to you. What you should not do is start installing the games and apps on the computers of your colleagues. And you should remove the games and apps when you return the computer to your business.
You should be able to mix both company purchased software and your personal software while the computer is in your control, just remember that software can only be updated by the account through which it was purchased. So you would need to sign into your personal account to update your personal software on your company computer in your control.
The software that comes through the MAS at this point is the drag & drop variety, the kind that has normally come on a disk or you download a disc image and drag the app to your Applications folder. With the MAS the software is downloaded and placed in the Apps folder for you. These apps can be copied to the other computers you own or have in your control. You do not need to download them to each computer, although you may do that as well.
Apple has pretty much reserved more complicated installations for itself. Xcode downloaded as an Installer into the Applications folder. Lion will also come as an installer. The Installer does not have to be downloaded to each Mac, it can be copied to them over your local LAN or direct Ethernet or FireWire cable connections. Or burn to a disk. Then the Installer can be run to install Lion on each Mac. Based on your direct conversation with Apple regarding obtaining Lion for your business, you may also be able to create a common installation of Lion that you then clone to all of your company computers.

Non-commercial developer licensing

Are there any plans for a non-commericial developers license
for FB3? Either one of those free-for-non-commercial-use/"express
version" deals or at least something relatively inexpensive for
individual developers (sub-$100's range)?
I'm in a situation where I think I'd like to use Flex for the
front end to a few at-home-hobby projects, but I'm not going to
shell out $500 or whatever for something that might not fit my
needs after I'm a few months into trying to use it. The 30 day
trial evaluation is nice, but it's not nearly long enough to make a
decision at the pace I'm going.
I would think that something like this would spread the
popularity of the technology more quickly, and even generate more
cash flow for Adobe. As an example, like many others, I'm in the
position to push for (or not push for) purchasing Flex Builder and
possibly the additional add-ons at work (a pretty large and well
known employer), but I'm not going to do so if I can't comfortably
and confidently say that it is worth the investment. I'd like to
support this technology and start becoming an advocate, but it's a
little difficult with the current situation the way it is.

I
wholeheartedly concur. I have been experimenting with Flex
some on my free time, but I can only put in a little bit of time
here and there. Before I know it, 30 days is up. From the time I
had started with Flex2, and by the time I had enough time to really
devote to doing something with it, I'd run out of my trial. If the
demo actually clocked my usage and gave me 30 days of usage, that'd
be one thing, but even then $500 is a lot of money for what would
be for me an occasional use tool. I had a friend comment that $500
for what seemed to be primarly a GUI builder was a lot of money,
and I can agree. If I was solely a Flex guy, it'd be a non-issue,
but the door fee to get in and start checking out this club is
kinda stiff.
Alternatively, I'd love to see Flex bundled in a CS Web
Developer package similar to CS Web Standard, but with the addition
of Flex and maybe Cold Fusion, with a significant discount for
buying it that way. At least then I'm paying a bunch of money for a
whole suite of tools that I'm getting on the whole a decent amount
of use out of and I can justify the cost much easier then.

Do you offer a price reduction for app developement for Non profits.

We are developing Apps for our church and were looking at the cost of developing and Apple app. We are a small church so do you offer any type of discounts for non profit apps.

You are not addressing Apple here, only other users like yourself. You will need to contact Apple directly with this question.

My microsoft office programs (Home and Business 2013) all desplay error message at startup stating " non-commercial use, not licenced product". How do I fix this?

Hi,
Whenever I start any of my microsoft programs I get an error message stating "non-commercial use, not licenced product" and I cannot do anything in the programs. I havve the Home and Business 2013 version.
My husband bought the office programs for his and my computer and so they are both registered to his name however my email is the login, I dont know if this is relevant.
How do I fix this?

Hi,
Based on your description, several possibilities come to my mind.
1. You mentioned your husband bought the Office Suite for you, did he purchase one product key or two? We need to confirm if the product key can be installed on multiple machines, if a product key can be only installed once and he installed it
on his computer first, you should purchase a new product key to activate your Office.
Since the policy differs in different areas, to confirm how many machines the product key can be installed on, let your husband ask the retailer or contact the local customer service to get the answer:
http://support2.microsoft.com/gp/customer-service-phone-numbers/en-us
2. Please confirm your Office version. Based on the message "non-commercial use", I found this kb:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937676/
But it's for Office Home and Student instead of Office Home and Business, we can perform the steps below to find the Microsoft Software License Terms:
1. Start and Office program.
2. On the File (Backstage) tab, click Account.
3. Click About (Product name: Word, Excel etc..), in the window that opens, click
View the Microsift Software License Terms link.
3. If your Office is a trial version or the product key is not for the version that you are using, consider to uninstall it first, and install the appropriate version. You can probably get the installation media from your husband.

Flex and commercial apps?

Hi everyone. I have a simple question:
is it possibile to use the free Flex SDK to develop a commercial application or any generic application that could lead to money income? I know this is probably stated in the license but english is not my native language and I'm not good with licensing terms, so I can't understand if I can develop and distribute such application or if I have to buy some particular Adobe license/subscription to develop commercial apps. I stress the fact that using the "commercial" word I mean a generic app that could make me gain some money, including for example a free app with a Donate button, other than the classic sellable product.
I hope someone can give me a reliable answer
Have a nice day
C. PG.

In short; yes, knock yourself out!
In a slightly longer answer. We live in a sue happy world and Adobe employees are generally not allowed to comment on, or discuss intricate meanings of current licensing terms. So, they can't tell you what the license means, but they'll sure sue you if they think you're in violation.
At the end of the day, it is your responsibility to discuss your intended use with your legal counsel to decide if your use is permitted.

Can i use FMS developer version for commercial purpose

HI,
Can I use flash media server4 developer version for commercial, if some one have knowledge about scope of the developer version then, please help me.
Thanks
Ram

If you refer to EULA of FMS you will see below text corresponding to Developer License:
.1. Software License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Adobe grants to Licensee a perpetual (except as set forth in Section 15) non-exclusive license to install the Software on one (1) Computer or Virtual Server and use the Software delivered hereunder according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Documentation. Unless indicated otherwise by the License Key (as defined below) provided to Licensee, Licensee shall be deemed to have licensed the Development Server. If Licensee has licensed a Trial Version, in which case Section 2.2 applies, or if Licensee has licensed Not For Resale Software, in which case Section 2.3 applies.
2.1.1. Development Server License. This Section 2.1.1 applies only if Licensee has obtained a valid Development Server license to the Software. In addition to the other terms contained herein, (a) Licensee’s license to the Development Server Software is limited to a maximum number of (i) ten (10) Concurrent Connections when using with the Real Time Media Protocol (RTMP), and (ii) fifty (50) Concurrent Connections when using the Real Time Media Flow Protocol (RTMFP); and (b) Licensee shall not use the Development Server for load balancing. No maintenance and support is available for the Development Server.
So as per EULA you can use Developer Edition for commercial purpose with restriction that it cannot be used for load balancing or creating cluster of Developer Edition Network.
You can refer to this old article when this part of EULA was introduced: http://www.flashcomguru.com/index.cfm/2006/10/9/fmsdevedition

IDM & Non SAP app integration

Hi All,
I have to integrate one Non SAP application with IDM and conduct provision and de-provision. Can somebody provide me some design/approach how provisioning tasks can be configured to fulfill the same. The Non SAP app has oracle database where I have to provision user. Is there any OOB sample available or any existing thread which I can read?
Thanks,
Dhiman Paul.

We are using a "To Database" pass.
In that, we have sql updating and we are using a stored procedure for insertion into non-sap application.
The stored procedure runs fine and we get a success entry log in IDM.
When we try to find the same user in non-sap app, it doesn't return any value.
For connection to non-sap and sap, we are having a communication user (not mxmc_rt).
We are using the same user for connection purpose between the app.
Does mxmc_rt require the privileges to write into the database table? As, we are not using the user for connection purpose.
Like Matt said if you run the procedure from SQL Developer or SQL+ does it work? If so what userid/password do you use? Use the same useid/password in the URL of your to Database-pass in IdM.
You don't need to use mxmc_rt for the connection to "3rd party" database, probably better if you get a dedicated user for the interface that has access only to the needed table / stored procedure etc.

Non-commercial Database Use

Hi,
Doing some database research.
Is Oracle Database 11g Express the only free edition of oracle db for even non-commercial use? Or is there a version that has unlimited User-data as long as it is for non-commercial use only?
Thanks

ThanksYes, Oracle XE is the database that you can use as free not just for non-commercial but for commercial purpose as well. But if your requirement is jus to go for the non-commercial purpose, you can use even the Enterprise Edition too which comes along with the development license.
That said, any question related to licensing must be directed to Oracle's Sales and to your local sales rep.

Non-commercial use

I open Microsoft word and it doesn't let me do anything and it has a grid on it. It says non-commercial use, how do i take it off?

Hi,
Do you have Home and Student Version of Office?
When you start a Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010 or 2007 program, the title bar of the program displays the name of the program followed by "non-commercial use." For example, Microsoft Office Excel 2007 displays "Microsoft
Excel non-commercial use" or "Book1 - Microsoft Excel non-commercial use."
Cause:
The "non-commercial use" text is based on the Microsoft Software License Terms for Office Home and Student 2010 or 2007 products.
In the Microsoft Software License Terms, the "non-commercial use" text identifies the use of the product. You may install one licensed copy of the software on three devices in your household. The software is not licensed for any commercial business
activities, nonprofit business activities, or revenue-generating business activities.
To find the Microsoft Software License Terms, follow these steps, as appropriate for your situation.
Office Home and Student Office 2013

How can I try non free apps before buy them?

Well the question is simple: How can I try non free apps before buy them?
thanks

That's why some developers offer a free "light" version after which you then either buy a full version or add features via an in-app purchase. But if the developer doesn't offer such a limited version, then there is no way to try an app before paying for it, and no refunds unless the app is defective or falsely advertised.
Regards.

Non-commercial licensing

All,
Will a non-commercial license for Flex Builder, FDS and
charting (2.0) be offered similar to the license that was available
for Flex 1.5. I know the SDK is free but I would like to use the
other components to develop my open source medical records system.
I put off obtaining a 1.5 license as 2.0 was around the corner and
I have been actively testing each pre-release.
I have posted this very question to Adobe/Macromedia sales
several times and have not received a response.

Splash screen for a desktop app (non mobile app)

I'm using fb4linux, 4.5.1A SDK, I'm developing a non-mobile (i.e. desktop application) and I would like to add a splash screen to it.
I've added mobilecomponents.swc to the library path, and the application starts like this:
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
   xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
   xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
   width="400" height="400" xmlns:local="*"
   preloader="spark.preloaders.SplashScreen"
   splashScreenImage="@Embed('assets/splashscreen.png')"
   splashScreenMinimumDisplayTime="1500">
When I debug it, no splash scren is shown and I get the following error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable flash.display::StageAspectRatio is not defined.
    at spark.preloaders::SplashScreen/prepareSplashScreen()[E:\dev\4.5.1\frameworks\projects\mobilecomponents\src\spark\preloaders\SplashScreen.as:340]
    at spark.preloaders::SplashScreen/Stage_resizeHandler()[E:\dev\4.5.1\frameworks\projects\mobilecomponents\src\spark\preloaders\SplashScreen.as:407]
The problem seems to be triggered by the line that sets the preloader, because if I remove it, the error is gone (although no splash screen is shown either).
Any ideas how to make it work?
Thanks!

import [install folder]\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\sdks\4.6.0\frameworks\libs\mobile to your build path
Note: You must add the frameworks\libs\mobile\mobilecomponents.swc to the library path of the application to support the splash screen in a desktop application.

English reviews in non English app stores

In the past it was possible to see the English / American reviews in non-English app stores. It would be more than nice to get that ability back. In small countries there are often not that many reviews and also English speaking people in non-English countries should be able to read reviews.

Are you referring to the Customer Reviews? iTunes doesn't distinguish which language is used by the customer in writing the review so it can't filter out those you don't want to see. In fact someone could write one review and use many languages in it, but it seems those that speak German are the most vocal in the Swiss store.
This is also a user forum. Responses are from other users of Apple products. It is mainly for other users helping you with a problem that they can fix. If you want to give feedback to Apple select Provide iTunes Feedback from the iTunes menu from within the iTunes application.
