Different Hardware Windows OS License Issue

Hi,
I read that if the hardware changes, SAP license key will be invalid and required to a new license key.
I would like to move existing SAP system running on Windows from server A to server B. An image will be made on server A and restore on server B. So, everything will be the same as server A.
Based on SAP Note 174911, it states that "Only Windows uses a hardware key that does not depend on the hardware. A new installation of Windows definitely causes the hardware key to change."
For my case, based on the above statement, does the hardware key change?
Thank you.
regards,
zl

Hi,
Yes, in your case since you are changing the complete hardware like from Server A to Server B, as per my knowledge the hardware key changes. You need to apply for the new license for new hardware key and the same can be verfied & confirmed after you image on Server B.
After imaging on Server B, go to SLICENSE TCode and there you can see the hardware key and it will be different from Server A. In that case, you need to apply and install the license as per the new hardware key. You can check the license details at OS level using command SAPLICENSE or SAPLIKEY.
Hope this clarifies.
Regards,
Sharath

Copy CS3 Master Collection folder to another Windows System (licensing issue)

Hello,
In my laptop I have two hard drives with two distinct Windows operating systems. CS3 Master Collection is installed on the first drive and works. But I want to use it on the other system as well. So I just copied the CS3 folder to the second hard drive and booted from it. Unfortunately, I can't start any of the CS3 applications from there because it complains about a missing / broken license. I can't do a proper CS3 install on the other system because I have no install media (it came pre-installed with my school laptop). How can I use CS3 on both systems?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If it came pre-installed on your school laptop it most likely is a volume license. Since we don't know the terms of that license we can't really say much with any certainty, but my guess would be that legally YOU can't install it on more than one "computer" which in this case would be one or the other of your hard drives. If that's the case, since it's already on one, it would have to be uninstalled to install on the other.
If your school tells you that you are allowed to have it on both operating systems at the same time you'll need the installation media. As you've seen, you can't just copy the program folders. The installer needs to do a lot of other stuff, including writing a lot of registry information, that is required for things to run. Perhaps the IT department will install it for you.

Windows 2008 R2 RDS Licensing Issue

I have Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 farm (with all of the application servers running Windows 2003) and I have just migrated from using a Windows 2003 server for the terminal services licensing to a Windows 2008 R2 RDS server for the licensing. We have
a number of thin-clients that connect to the Citrix farm and provide a kiosk for users. We have 85 per device licenses however we are only using 15 of those licenses (plans were made but never implemented to use the rest), so we have 70 available licenses.
The licenses are configured per device and as Windows Server 2003 licenses.
After the migration to 2008 R2, the thin-clients connected to the new licensing server without any trouble at all. As I monitored the licenses on the new server, each thin-client was given a temporary license first and then at the
next connection they got a permanent license. All of this I have been able to confirm through the event logs on the server.
However, what I get in the event logs of the new 2008 R2 licensing server an event with event ID 21 that says:
The Remote Desktop license server "ServerName" does not have any remaining permanent Remote Desktop Services client access licenses (RDS CALs) of the type "Windows Server 2003 - TS Per Device CAL". As a result, the Remote Desktop license server cannot issue
RDS CALs of the type "Windows Server 2003 - TS Per Device CAL" to the Remote Desktop Session Host server "vvv.xxx.yyy.zzz". To resolve this problem, verify that the Remote Desktop licensing mode configured on the RD Session Host server matches the type of
RDS CALs installed on the Remote Desktop license server. If required, purchase and install additional RDS CALs as needed for this Remote Desktop license server.
(Note I have removed the server name and IP address due to company policy.) I have confirmed that every server in my Citrix farm has its terminal services configuration set for "per device" licensing and I have also specified the name of the 2008
R2 server rather than allow the servers to automatically find the licensing server. I have confirmed that my 2008 R2 server is configured for "per device" licensing.
The IP addresses I have seen in the event log messages are the IP addresses of a Citrix server rather than one of the thin-clients, and so far every Citrix server we have has appeared in one of these event log messages. I have been able
to determine that this event does not occur when a thin-client is connecting up nor does this event occur when I remotely log into the server.
As I noted above we only have 15 thin-clients using the 85 licenses so we have 70 available licenses for the Citrix servers so why are we out of licenses? What is this message trying to tell me?
Thanks
Brent

Hi Bent,
According the Event ID 21, I think you might have the license connection issues with RDS CALs. I suggest you analyze some relative services and
make sure your network without any misconfiguration.
Hopefully, there is an article describes how to troubleshoot this license issue on the terminal server.
Event ID 21 — Terminal Services Client Access License (TS CAL)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/library/A98D84AC-B824-4F00-BF58-3CFF23493BF9.aspx
By the way, the license of Windows Server 2003 does not support to assign CAL to allow user to access the Windows Server 2008. You should buy a
new Windows Server 2008 license to meet the requirement above if necessary.
Hope this helps.

Windows OEM license to Hardware relationship.

I’m asking this question in the Hardware forum because from what I’ve read; a Windows OEM license is married to either one Motherboard, or a Hard Drive.
Is that true ? Results from searching have given me conflicting answers.
What happens if the Motherboard or C: Drive dies? would the associated Windows license be lost along with it?
One computer components store told me that qualifying for OEM no longer depends on what components you buy, or when you buy them. That conflicts with everything else I’ve read.
Note- My choice of Windows OS is Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit, SP1, OEM.

Windows activation is coupled to a number of components in your computer, mobo, CPU, boot disk, video card, memory. Up to a certain degreee components can be exchanged when they die, but when too much - in Microsoft's opinion - changes, the activation is lifted. Where those limits are, I don't know. If it happens, you can always contact Microsoft for a reactivation. I had to do that once and it was a simple matter of picking up the phone and give them a call and an explanation. Reactivation was immediately arranged.

Lightroom 2 - Upgrade Computer OS from Windows XP to 7 - Licensing Issues?

I have a laptop running Win XP and Lightroom 2 -- I've saved the many sequential updates somewhwere -- that needs its OS upgraded to Win7. I had purchased Lightroom 2 retail and have the original installation CD with serial number on the back. So after I wipe the HD and insall a new OEM version of Win7 SP1, can I simply install Lighrtroom from the old CD using the serial number and apply the updates, or will I have licensing issues from the re-installation?
If there was an activation step, I'm sure I did it to get the updates. If so, do I have to de-activate before the OS upgrade? If so, how do I do that? -- JClarkW

Just download the latest version LR 2.5 (here for windows)
https://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4572
and install and enter your serial number.
No activation necessary.

Acrobat 9 - Upgrade Computer OS from Windows XP to 7 - Licensing Issues?

I have a Lenovo laptop that came with Win XP and Acrobat 9 Standard pre-installed, but they gave me the Acrobat installation CD with product key on the back. So after I wipe the HD and insall a new OEM version of Win7 SP1, can I simply install Acrobat from the old CD using the product key, or will I have licensing issues from the re-installation? -- JClarkW

>>The only issue might be if there had been an activation and you did not deactivate it first.<<
I'm sure I would have activated it, to get updates if nothing else, but how do I tell? If so, how do I deactivate it before the OS replacement? -- JClarkW

Will adding a new OEM Windows 8 license to the system replace and free the current OEM license?

I have computer (computer A) with a Windows 8 Standard OEM license. I would like this computer to run Windows 8 Pro OEM, and move the Standard license to another computer (computer B).
Correct me if I'm wrong (and please confirm if I'm right), but as far as I've understood it the OEM licenses have changed from Windows 7 to Windows 8, and on Windows 8 they are no longer tied to the hardware. Therefore, I assume the license doesn't need the
manufacturer's special disc or recovery drive to install. (This is not really an issue, since I have the DVD anyway.) The Windows 8 license should thus be free to move around, as long as it's only installed on one computer at the time and is activated online.
There should therefor be unproblematic to move the Windows 8 Standard license from computer A to computer B, so that I can install Windows 8 Pro on computer A. If this is true, could I just buy a Pro license, go to Control Panel on computer A and add this license
with "Add features to Windows 8.1"? Will this Pro license then replace my Standard license, or will they co-exist somehow? Will the Standard license be free so that it can be moved to comptuer B after I have added a Pro license? I would rather avoid
formatting computer A, but I will format computer B.

I have computer (computer A) with a Windows 8 Standard OEM license. I would like this computer to run Windows 8 Pro OEM, and move the Standard license to another computer (computer B).
Correct me if I'm wrong (and please confirm if I'm right), but as far as I've understood it the OEM licenses have changed from Windows 7 to Windows 8, and on Windows 8 they are no longer tied to the hardware.
I'm not aware that OEM-supplied/attached licenses are now able to be moved. Can you provide a reference for that theory?
OEM SB (System Builder) licenses, if you are building for yourself (i.e. not building to resell), *DO* allow transfer
http://personaluselicense.windows.com/en-US/default.aspx
So, here's how I understand it:
a) if you build your own computer, and purchase an OEM SB for that computer, for your own personal use, that license can be transferred to another computer.
b) if you buy a computer which is already built and has Windows OEM attached, this Windows license cannot be transferred to another computer

T440S to T440s - program and data transfer, OS licensing issue

Hi,
Obviously not able to open these critters up. I have a new T440s that I would like to transfer my programs and data to. Is there a program out there that can do this without having to pull out the hard drive to image?
My current one has Windows 8.1. The new one has Windows 7 with the Windows 8.1 recovery discs. Issue is, I believe that the Windows license is tied to the hardware? Therefore I would have to make a recovery disc set of Windows 7.....then use the Windows 8.1 recovery discs then move my programs and data over.
Windows Easy Transfer does not look like it can do the best job.
I thought about bringing it to the store for them to swap the drives but then worried alot about the whole licensing issue. (not to mention the possible loss of my warranty) Unless if it is done professional and the license could be stripped out of the existing drive and new drive moved to new machine....perhaps a way to get the license keys from the new system somehow.
Thanks in advance.

Hello.
If you look at the bottom of the machines, and they both have the Windows 8 sticker, your machines are licenced and the product key is embedded in the BIOS.
You can use this program: ProduKey to view and write down your keys, but if you use either the Recovery disks or a WIndows 8 Pro retail DVD to reinstall Windows, your key will be picked up automatically by the installation.
For migration of your files, programs and settings, you could simply clone your current WIndows 8.1 installation onto the new drive using, assuming your installation is UEFI and thus your HD is GPT partitioned, Macrium Reflect, which many users here have had a good experience with. That would save you time from having to reinstall Windows on the new machine as well and all you'd have to do is to enter the embedded Windows key of your new machine to activate it.
Macrium Reflect
That's at least one suggestion, but there are many ways to go about this.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

Having deactivation / licensing issues

I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME OUT OF THIS HOLE I'M IN!
I recently bought a new Mac and used migration assistant to transfer everything. I am having trouble deactivating Flash Pro on my old Mac so that I can activate it on my new Mac - it keeps saying I have connection issues, even when I use Adobe's several methods to verify that I can connect to their https and activation sites.
Tghe last step in troubleshoot this was to chart with an Adobe agent - see what transpired during my chat session below below - what started out as a request for connect assistance turned into a licensing issue! (I redacted the tech's name, the serial number and other personal info - if there is someone out there at Adobe that can helop me and needs this info, I will share it with them under separate cover)
XXX: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
JD: thanks
XXX: You are welcome.
XXX: May I please have your email address registered with Adobe?
JD: XXX.net
XXX: Thank you.
XXX: I understand that you are not able to deactivate the product.
XXX: I will be glad to check and help you in this regard.
JD: Yes. I am trying to do this on my old Mac so that I may activate it on my new Mac.
XXX: May I have the serial number of the product you are referring to?
JD: XXX
XXX: Thank you.
XXX: I require 2 to 3 minutes while I check on this activation error, is it okay if I put you on hold?
JD: yes
XXX: I see that the serial number you have provided is registered under different account.

JD: I recently changed my email address to XXX but I don't think I changed this on my Adobe account yet.
XXX: Sorry, The product is registered under different account.
XXX: May I know where did you purchase the product?
JD: I purchased it used on Ebay and had the license transferred to me in 2009. I've been using it ever since on my old Mac. When I log into my Adobe acct using XXX this product shows as mine.
XXX: In this case I request you to contact the point of purchase.
JD: I'm not sure why there is an issue - I successfully registered this software 5 years ago on your site and have been using it ever since. I shows up as mine on YOUR site!
XXX: I see that the product is not existing in different account.
XXX: Sorry for typo.
XXX: I see that the product is existing in different account
XXX: Ebay is not the authorized reseller of Adobe. In this I request you to contact the point of purchase.
JD: Then it appears that you need to remove it from the other one so that it is only showing in mine. I own this software - it is in my hands! It is showing as registered under my name in my adobe account.
JD: I bought it from a private individual and used Adobe' transfer of Adobe License form to put it under my name in 2009. I need you to elevate this to your supervisor. Like I said, I've had this software registered under MY ACCOUNT for 5 years!
XXX: I see that the product is not registered in your account.
XXX: Please login to your Adobe account and check it.
XXX: The serial number you have provided is not registered in your account.
JD: I'm in there now - logged in as Jerome DellaPietra via XXX. I own XXX, XXX, Flash Pro 9, XXX, XXX, XXX, and XXX. I'm looking at all of these in the "My Products" page
XXX: Okay.
JD: Both the numbers on my software and what shows in My Products page match exactly!
XXX: Please see if the serial number you provided is existing in under your account.
JD: YES
XXX: I am sorry. I see that the serial number is not registered in different account.
XXX: I double checked and see that the serial number is registered under different account.
JD: Then remove it. I own this software. It is mine. I successfully registered it with Adobe 5 years ago. It is showing as one of my products
XXX: Since you bought the product from the non authorized reseller we will not be able to see it in your account.
XXX: You can remove it from your end.
XXX: Is there anything else I can help you with?
I gave up with him after that. I need someone at Adobe that can fix this for me. I own this software. It is in my hands! It shows up as mine on my "My Products" page! I still have the original transfer of license form showing the original owner! HELP!

Hi, jwilder. Let's try to resove that. To verify, is it happening even if the battery saver is turn off? Did you check if all system apps are updated? To do this, scan the QR codes from here: Nokia Windows Phone 8 App Updates. You may also try deleting the non-functioning Wi-Fi network from the Settings > WiFi > manage(advanced) > Known networks, tap and hold on the network name and select Delete. From the Known network, make sure that the selected one is set to connect automatically.
Keep us posted.

Adobe acrobat 9 pro installation/licensing issues

I installed my licensed copy of Acrobat 9 on a new Windows 7 system. Acrobat launched but would not open files and shuts down on attempt. Message is "Licensing for this product has stopped working" with subtext "You cannot use the product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help."
I doubt any of you have a solution, so I simply remark on what transpired as a warning and complaint:
1. I went to Adobe databse and found that a patch was provided to correct installations/licensing problems on windows 7. I downloaded it and installed per instructions. It did not resolve the problem.
2. I uninstalled/reinstalled several times. no resolution.
3. I called customer support and was outsourced to someone who knew little and first sent me to a kb article having to do with 'expired licensing' even though I clearly informed them that the message and the fact had nothing to do with expired licenses. They finally referred me to kb405970 on "Licensing has stopped working". I tried all of the applicable solutions (methods 1-6) and none of them worked. Now I will have to wait until tomorrow (though I had pressing work to do today) to contact support again. I fear I will get another outsourced tech who knows little and wastes more of my time. Such is Adobe's way of supporting paid and licensed product users.
I understand and sympathize with Adobe's wishes to protect its products from piracy. However, I expect and paid for a product which works on major and supported operating systems like windows 7. I also understand that if MS or Mac put out a new OS or version, it may require certain adjustments or updates on Adobe's part. What I do not understand (or have patience with) is that 1) Adobe failed to provide a patch that works; 2) that it then sends me to an outsourced customer service tech who didn't have the knowledge to correct the problem and gave me the wrong information to begin with*. What I finally got was the kb article with a series of multi-step instructions for several methods, none of which worked. This is an unprofessional and unethical response to those of us who have paid for our product and expect it to work under reasonable conditions in a supported environment. This is not an acceptable good-faith effort to resolve issues for which Adobe should take full responsibility.
If any of you do happen to have a real solution (or had a similar problem) do let me know....
*The first thing the outsourced tech wished to do was get onto my machine via a remote connection, before anything was tried other than giving them the error message and have them provide me with the wrong information. It became clear that this person had less knowledge than I do (which isn't saying much) and there was no way I was going to permit a clueless techie to crawl around in my machine and fiddle with settings. That is simply asking for trouble. I'm perfectly capable of opening panels and following instructions myself. DC should be the last thing tried; not the first.

Bill, I tried as you suggested - installed every update from 9.1 through 9.3.4. The 'license not working message persists'. The only change was that now Acrobat will not close and must be forced to shut down from the taskbar menu. I appreciate the suggestion though.
Called Adobe (Manila) again, within the hours given on their contact page for installation and licensing issues, and was told "It's Sunday, nobody here can help you". Finally, after an hour of hammering got them to get me a supervisor (their script says to tell the customer there "Is no supervisor available on Sunday" - Finally the "supervisor", Alvin, suggested I need a new serial number and left me on the line while he called someone else to get on. Cameback and informed me that he couldn't get one, I'd have to call Monday (how's that for having solutions?) Result: wasted more time and had more delay on my project.
Conclusion: Adobe has become obsessed and 'piranoic' about piracy and licensing to the extent that they put that first and client/customer needs second (if that). After reading a lot of online 'Adobe Sucks' forums, I'm inclined to believe Adobe is shooting itself in its own foot and is not going to be a reliable method of presentation/document transmission in the future - service and support is an integral part of software and other concerns such as piracy or licensing need to be transparent to legitimate users. Sad that they spend so much time on this, when they need to be fixing real problems. As well, these outsourcing Philipines companies are poor substitutes for good support - they are so scripted and obsessed with regulations over solutions that it is clear that only the most persistent users will get anywhere with them. As a frontline of contact with after-sale clients, they are going to cost Adobe a lot of potential business in the future, whatever their short-term savings. Too bad. Adobe used to be a leader in the market.
Next round: Calling Manila again this am. to be continued...

How to use Different Main Windows in Multiple pages to print internal table

Hi experts,
I have a problem regarding how to have multiple different main windows in smartforms..the problem is that i want to print an internal table in the third page of the smartform and that table can have dynamic values ..sometime it may have more than 400 values also which can not be printed in one or two pages ...
so to accomplish the same what i did was..
i tried creating a new main window in the third page but it is throwing an error saying two main windows not allowed and i also tried by copying the first page's main window but it is just repeating the same content what was there in second page..
i also tried by creating a secondary window in the third page and in that window i tried giving my internal table and tried by giving the next page to itself but that also is not allowed and it throws an error saying a page without a main window cannot point to itself as a next page....
i also tried using a secondary window and in that window i was trying to display the internal table but it is only showing third page content and fourth page itself was not created....although in my next page field value of the third page , i have given the third page itself as a next page ....but this also is not working ,.....
please suggest how to have different main windows(not copy of first main window) in smartforms in order to display the dynamic contents of an internal table

HI ,

REgarding licensing issues involvng 'Computername' and the use of UpperCase4 vs Lowercase Letters

Does any one know if it would cause problems for the Office 365 software license to be displayed as licensed to an ALL CAPS name like 'MY-FAVORITE-PC' but the computer itself shows the computer name to be 'my-favorite-pc"?
If it does, which one should I change? A couple of people here have had this same problem (which usually occurs when they change to using a different PC for their account) I have to Deactivate their Old PC namer and then install the licnse to
their New OC using whatever name it has.
On more than one system, this has resulted in various odd "failure to contact Microsoft server" issues when activating. The problem continues for 7 days and then their copy of Office starts showing reed warning bards and eventually gets totally
unusable.
However, if I uninstall the office, deactivate the license, and reinstall it once again, it install just fine and acts ok but invariably at some point, the same thing occurs.
On one of them I noticed the difference in the case of the letters used in the computer name and the license name. On others I am wondering about various software add ins for Outlook or some other 3rd part application causing the problem. Whatever
it is, it gets extremely annoying. Officer 365 apparently must run an activation sequence almost constantly while Office 2010 (and I presume 2013) ran it once and were done with it.
Searching Google I have found too many possible reasons along with a lot of people who have had the same problems but no one seems to have the 100% solution. This has only started happening since we switched to Office 365 and only
seems to occur on systems that are changed out to different ones with the same User's 365 Account which is in good standing and has 5 available licenses of which only one is in use.
In the case of the caps vs lowercase I also wonder if changing the name to CAPS on their PC would create additional problems on its own?

Hi Questorfla,
For the Office 365 software license issue, I recommend you can post in dedicated Office 365 Forum to get a better response:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/148.aspx
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Please clarify the following license issue

Hello
Please clarify the following license issue
Oracle 10g se license requirement while using a power 6 P520 machine with 2-core 4.2 GHz processor card,4 memory DIMM slots. Are we entitled for paying for one oracle 10g SE license?
many thanks in advance

When you read through that thread, did you see where I linked to and quoted the licensing definitions
Processor: shall be defined as all processors where the Oracle programs are installed and/or running. Programs licensed on a processor basis may be accessed by your internal users (including agents and contractors) and by your third party users. For the purpose of counting the number of processors which require licensing for a Sun UltraSPARC T1 processor with 4, 6 or 8 cores at 1.0 gigahertz or 8 cores at 1.2 gigahertz for only those servers specified on the Sun Server Table which can be accessed at http://oracle.com/contracts , “n” cores shall be determined by multiplying the total number of cores by a factor of .25. For the purposes of counting the number of processors which require licensing for AMD and Intel multicore chips, “n” cores shall be determined by multiplying the total number of cores by a factor of .50. For the purposes of counting the number of processors which require licensing for all hardware platforms not otherwise specified in this section, a multicore chip with "n" cores shall be determined by multiplying "n" cores by a factor of .75. All cores on all multicore chips for each licensed program for each factor listed below are to be aggregated before multiplying by the appropriate factor and all fractions of a number are to be rounded up to the next whole number. When licensing Oracle programs with Standard Edition One or Standard Edition in the product name, a processor is counted equivalent to a socket.
It appears that you fall under the "not otherwise specified" category because you're not dealing with an UltraSPARC T1 (multiplier 0.25) or an AMD/ Intel chip (multiplier 0.5) so your multiplier would be 0.75.
0.75 * 2 cores = 1.5 processors which would have to be rounded up to 2 processors. If you had 4 total cores, you would only need a 3 processor license.

9.3.0.1 Permanent Licensing Issue

I am trying to use an old VMware image that contains Planning 9.3.0.1, but I am having licensing issues.
Steps taken already
1) I went to http://licensecodes.oracle.com/downloads/HS9_MasterLicenseFile.zip and download the new license file.
2) Then went to the license manager (LMtools.exe) and was successful starting and stopping the license server and re-reading the license.
3) Then went to the Configuration Utility and Activated the Product to change the Deployment ID to "Temp-0004" within System 9 BI+, Analytical Services, Financial Management and Planning.
Where I see the errors
1) In my debugging of the issue, I tried starting the Hyperion Planning via command line. Planning starts up fine but no longer accepts the requests.
Error Text: "CLS0000017 No unexpired licenses are available for your product. No further requests to the server will be processed."
2) Also within workspace when I go from Navigate -> Application -> Planning -> PlanApp1 I receive the follow error when I try to login.
Error Text: "A problem with Hyperion System 9 Planning license was encountered. Please see the log for details."
Any suggestions?

I'm attaching the instructions I put together about a year ago -- your mileage may vary:
