Downloadable "Embedded" JRE licensing issues

I have several applications that I want to make available for download. Rather than having to upload the JRE to my website 3 times (embedded in 3 seperate files), I would like to only upload it once.
I found the freeware installer NSIS. It seems to have the option to let you download a file from a website and then install it. I would like to have a copy of the JRE on my website and then have an NSIS installer that checks whether the JRE is installed and then downloads it if it isn't.
Since there's several applications, an user would be able to use all the applications and only download the JRE once.
This would be similar to an installer created by Install4J (http://www.ej-technologies.com/products/install4j/overview.html). What I'm worried about is licensing issues. This isn't really "embedding" the JRE, but it must be permissible because Install4J does it.
Is it permissible to remove files as the license allows for embedded JREs? Somehow I doubt that, but it would save me a little bit of bandwidth.
Is it permissible to use all the JRE's files just without the JRE's installer? (It would be placed within the application directory just like it was an embedded JRE.) There are 2 reasons I want to avoid using the JRE installer:
1) I want it to install "silently". I really hate it when someone downloads an application and thinks that JRE is the application just because the JRE installer pops up at the end of the application's installer.
2) I don't want people to be able to uninstall the JRE without uninstalling the application too.
Basically, I would be using the JRE just like an embedded JRE, but it would be downloaded as a seperate file by the installer. It could be that just having the JRE and the application stored as seperate files violates some aspect of the licensing agreement. Does it? It seems harmless to me, but I don't know what the official stance on this is.

  • Can an employee download the free Adobe Reader onto a company PC without causing a license issue?

    Also what happens if a lot of the employees do the same?  Does this bring up license issues?

    Yes, the employee can download the free Adobe Reader onto a company computer without a license issue.
    BUT, the company computer would have to be configured such that this activity was permitted. Not all company computers are configured this way. The typical user profile is more restrictive than the user profile we have for the OS and applcations installs on our personal computers.
    Adobe provides a download of the installer on the Adobe.com site. Lotsa people use it to get Adobe Reader; so, no problem if all the employees at your place do it (IF the user profile on the computer permits it).
    Be well...

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 Download E-license Issue

    I have installed Adobe Acrobat Pro 8. I have entered the serial number but when it tries to activate it cannot download the E-license. There is nothing in place in relation to Firewall/Proxy settings that is blocking access to the server. How can this be resolved?

  • Licensing issue by using Applications AC and PC

    Hi,
    The SAP GRC 10.0 solution comes as bundled solution for AC, PC and RM. While downloading the SAP GRC 10.0 all the three components are downloaded but in a dormant state.
    With the release of GRC 10.0, Access Control and Process Control are offered as an integrated solution, both at the data layer and at the user interface layer. This new unified platform enables increased harmonization of key master data.
    GRC 10.0 is a harmonized platform. Although maintenance of data within AC and PC is similar in 10.0 as it was in previous releases, there are some key differences. The following master data is shared between AC and PC for the release 10.0 integration scenario.
    u2022 Organizations
    u2022 Business Processes
    u2022 Business Subprocesses
    u2022 Controls
    SAP GRC System Add-ons:
    Access Control, Process Control and Risk Management are contained in one ABAP add-on u201CGRCFND_Au201D
    SAP Backend System Plug-ins:
    A. GRCPINW: NW Function Modules hold the AC functions for ERP systems without HR (former non-HR RTA)
    B. GRCPIERP: PC relevant features are contained in the plug-in GRCPIERP, for example, for running automated controls and the HR relevant functions for AC (former HR RTA)
    There are multiple activation points for AC, PC and RM:
    u2022 SAP GRC SPRO -> activate the Application. However
    u2022 When we go for the Plug-ins (GRCPIERP) installation in backend systems with HR function module it also brings in the PC relevant features.
    u2022 Mitigating Control definition based on Organizations
    I had activated the Application AC and PC for some time assuming that PC is required to create the Mitigation Control and Organizations. However I just realized that Mitigating Control and Organization can be created even without Activating PC, which does nothing but removes the additional features of PC.
    My Query:
    u2022 Kindly let me know if I can still use PC to create and assign Mitigating Control as a shared resource for AC and PC or I have violated Licensing issue by using Applications AC and PC when I am supposed to use just Access Control.
    u2022 How is shared resources in SAP GRC 10 dealt in terms of Licensing of Applications in SAP GRC 10.
    Thanking you in advance.

    all the new pc's we've purchased for a time now, don't have a Win7 CoA product key attached, even though they come with Win7 downgrade rights, so your strategy to use the CoA pkeys for the Win7 install on the new machines might be flawed.
    We don't buy HP, and I'm in Australia, so I'm not sure if this will be the same for you.
    Also, the OEM image that you would use to re-deploy/re-image with, may need to be different for varying models (OEMs might include different drivers, or other checks or blockers, in their image and OOBE scripts), and, the embedded OEM "master" product key/certificate
    could vary (or not align) across model types/generations.
    Ours do have the SLIC table in firmware and the OA markers, and we use VL Win7 Enterprise anyway, so our 40,000 machine fleet means VL and Software Assurance as a part of our EA + Select is an (expensive) no-brainer really.
    The other thought I have for you, is the re-imaging rights that are bestowed when you have a VL agreement (and therefore, are not bestowed if you don't have one). Because we do have a VL agreement, I've never dived into how it might be worked if we didn't
    have VL.
    http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/briefs/reimaging.aspx
    http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/briefs/downgrade-rights.aspx
    If you do look at a VL agreement, I'm told they start from as few as 5 machines. And, if you purchase new pc's, you have the option to enrol the new pc's into Software
    Assurance within 90days of purchase, which I imagine would save you some cost, compared to attaching SA to them at a later time, presumably requiring you to pay full ticket price for that.
    I'd recommend you get some advice from an MS reseller, even if only to work out what the various options/costs might be.

  • 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...

  • ORA-20001: The printing engine..Is this related to a BIP licensing issue?

    Hello all,
    The error "ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL..." happens in 2 cases:
    <pre>
    1. When our BIP is down or being bumped
    2. As an APEX administrator, in workspace environment settings, the print server is set to OFF.
    </pre>
    I'm thinking that this is a licensing issue but I need some clarification on what is causing the error, because all we are trying to do is bring up a PDF report that a user can open or save. BIP is not involved at this point. Is it because the report was developed using BIP that APEX needs BIP up? How does APEX even know the report was developed using BIP? Were are using APEX 3.2.1.00.12 and BIP 10.1.3.4.1
    The error happens when a user clicks on a PDF icon that calls an "After Submit Process". The following is the code and the report that was created in BIP is loaded into APEX with a "Named Columns (RTF)" layout type.

    By default, the ability to interact with network services is disabled in Oracle Database 11g release 1 (11.1). Therefore, if running Oracle Application Express with Oracle Database 11g release 1 (11.1), use the new DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN package to grant connect privileges to any host for the FLOWS_030100 database user. Failing to grant these privileges results in issues with PDF/report printing, specifically, you will get the following error message:

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • Licensing issues - SAP Press books

    I've just been reading threads on the licensing issues surrounding the preview versions of SAP and I'm saddened to hear that renewable licensing may be removed in the future.
    I was just wondering if SAP have thought about all the books in circulation and still for sale that people (including myself) have purchased in good faith to use and learn/demo new SAP functionality, for example, Horst Keller's excellent ABAP Objects book that includes the NSP system.
    Let's hope SAP have a re-think and reinstate the renewable licensing permanently.

    Hello,
    You can always download the newest NSP system from SDN portal and get a renewable license.

  • Any way to distribute a javafx application with embedded JRE as a standalone?

    Hey,
    I'm looking for a way to distribute my javafx app, but I want a customer to be able to run it as a standalone (i.e. without installation).
    I know I can distribute a jar file but it's without the embedded JRE.
    Only way I see to embed a JRE is via building an installer.
    Any way I can distribute say an EXE file that when double clicked just runs the app with JRE embedded inside?

    I have already read that guide.
    Here's the relevant section:
    Table 3-1 JavaFX Execution Modes
    Execution Mode
    Description
    Run as a standalone program
    The application package is available on a local drive. Users launch it using a Java launcher, such as java -jar MyApp.jar, or by double-clicking the application JAR file.
    Launched from a remote server using Web Start
    Users click a link in a web page to start the application from a remote web server. Once downloaded, a Web Start application can also be started from a desktop shortcut.
    Embedded into a web page
    JavaFX content is embedded in the web page and hosted on a remote web server.
    Launched as a self-contained application
    Application is installed on the local drive and runs as a standalone program using a private copy of Java and JavaFX runtimes. The application can be launched in the same way as other native applications for that operating system, for example using a desktop shortcut or menu entry.
    According to this, only way to use a private JRE is via the 4th option which means installation.

  • Licensing issue...anyone else?

    Run into a licensing issue with CS6
    (My provider and I are both trying to work through it but asking if anyone else has had any similar issue.)
    Downloaded and installed the Trial Version as soon as it was released.
    Ordered and paid for Full version thru my Adobe Provider ( as per previous versions)
    Received a Software License Certificate with Win Serial and Mac Serial.
    From the Trial  splash screen I worked throught the process and entered the Win serial. 
    Error : Not a Valid Serial.   Tried many times same result.
    Went to the  Menu item 'Complete Profile ID'. 
    This also failed to register the software to me. Error : Not a Valid Serial.
    Went to MY ADOBE and tried to Register a new product with the serial. 
    Error: This is a volume license and it would not register CS6 to me!
    At this point in time...I do not get the TRIAL VERSION splash screen so assume I am not in trial mode.  Should the opening usual Splash or Help screen indicate I am registered inside  the application and not in Trial Mode?
    Issue maybe is:  the software is not registered to me and that will have ramifications later ...I am sure.
    If I deactivate and reinstall..I am sure that will have ramifications because I am not officially registered to the software at Adobe!
    I have been unable to find an understandeable solution via the Adobe Support Files.
    Kind of limbo land here!
    I am guessing the Adobe Installer Manager is messing with me.

    I hope you have much better luck than I did with my Premiere Pro and Photoshop CS6 installs.  The issues you're reporting sound somewhat familiar, but not exactly; and for what it's worth: I'm on a Mac.  I spent a number of days trying to work through the installation and ultimately fixed it all with a complete reinstall.  Of the OS.
    Adobe provides a cleaner tool for the Mac that I assume is similar to what's available for Windows.  The problem is: it only cleans up the previous version of Premiere (and Photoshop, if need be).  What it doesn't do is clean up all the other crud that Adobe's software spreads throughout the OS.  And I'm not just refering to Premiere; one of the real troublemakers in the entire installation process was the Adobe Application Manager.  No matter how many times I tried cleaning that up and re-installing it, it just wouldn't work right.  Which meant that Premiere and PShop had trouble with their licensing (sound familiar?)
    For what it's worth, Adobe's tech support folks are, in fact, Indian.  But their English is superb and they have very little in the way of an accent.  Don't be too worried about understanding them if you do call; they may not be able to help you figure out what's going on (they couldn't, for me), but you won't have a communcation issue.
    I'm up and running.  The OS re-install did it because I formatted the drive beforehand, removing all of the digital flotsam that Adobe's previous versions of software spewed throughout the filesystem.  It was a sucky solution, but it worked.

  • 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)

  • 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:

  • I have win 7 pro and the download for jre 7u10 does not work on Firefox17, I have installed and uninstalled, but works on internet explorer.

    I have uninstalled jre7u10, the latest version of java, and re-installed this several times and it will NOT work on Firefox 17. I have checked that the plugins are downloaded in the add-ons tab and made sure they are Enabled. I have tried disabling every plugin I have on the page, but it still will NOT run on FF 17. So, I have uninstalled jre7u10 in windows control panel. I got the jre7u10 download for windows 7 from the actual java website.
    I don't know what else to do. I am totally confused as to why it works on Internet explorer but not Firefox 17. It gives me an error message on a chat window on one of my sites that says error client class not found, But I DON'T get this error when I use Internet explorer because the chat window works with it. HELP PLEASE ???????????
    I am not that good with computers so take it easy on me please.
    Thanks in advance

    I questioned that 64 bit version thing and when I checked the download it sent me to the java version 32 bit for windows 7. The download of jre 32 bit works for my computer on internet explorer but not for firefox 17. I also checked firefox and there is not a 64 bit version browser. so I don't get this at all. anyway, I don't know what a 64 bit vs a 32 bit means but someone asked me to check that too on the site I went to they thought it might be different browser. It's not.
