Dreaded License Agreement question

I know this has probably been asked millions of times, all over the place but I just want to make 100% sure.
I downloaded Eclipse v3.3.2 which has the Crystal Reports for Eclipse version 1.0.6.v1371 plug-in.
I wish to find out about the license agreement and licence purchasing conditions.
The company I work for supplies its clients with a Property Management Software, designed by
ourselves. We now want to develop a few simple reports using Eclipse and CR4E, specific to each
client. These will be accessible via the web. Does this fall under the u201Cfreely distributed productu201D that I
keep finding on both Eclipse.org and on the SAP websites.
I have registered my Crystal Reports for Eclipse and removed the watermark, is this enough to be able
to supply our clients with reports? Do they just need to register the same way to be able to use the
webapps developed by my company.
The u201CCrystal Report Web Projectsu201D will be held on a single server on the client site running Tomcat.
Under what conditions can these reports remain u201Cfreely distributed productsu201D and under what conditions
will a license need to be purchased. If a license is needed would my company have to purchase the
license, seeing as we are the ones developing the reports, or would our clients have to purchase the
license for themselves?
Our clients will use the reports internally and will also use our webapp to produce invoices which will
then be posted or emailed to their clients.
I have read the BO License Agreement https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/449, well atleast have tried to
understand it fully, point 3.6 says it can be installed on a single server which we will be doing, and then
point 4.9 says 1) its free 2) you have to pay if you want to remove the watermark, but then
https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/431 says you just need to register to remove the watermark.
Does this breach the "free" conditions.
I have emailed BO/SAP directly but do not know how fast they are to reply as I have heard stories.
So if anyone could give me a definite answer that would be great.
Supplying some "understandable" official evidence would also help very much.
Eclipse and CR4E are such great products I would hate to miss out on using them.

Darren

  • Acrobat SDK License Agreement Question

    The following is a section of the latest Acrobat SDK License Agreement from the Adobe website:
    "3.2  Development Restrictions.  You agree that You will not Use the Software to create, develop or use any program, software or service which . . . (b) can both (i) communicate with Adobe Reader Products and (ii) modify or save a PDF (Portable Document Format) document (including saving any modifications to a separate file for such documents);"
    Does this mean that I am NOT allowed to develop a program that both:
    Interfaces with Adobe Reader/Acrobat via the Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing purposes and
    Builds and modifies PDF's using third party component(s)?
    If the answer to the previous question is "YES", that means I can only use the Acrobat SDK in a program that is limited to PDF viewing and printing as far as PDF issues are concerned.  That would be very restrictive for a real world application that involves PDF's, especially when I am supposed to "add significant and primary functionality" as the license aggreement also states.

    How do I go about contacting "Adobe Legal"?
    Also, just to clarify our discussion on some subtle but important points . . .
    I understand that Adobe Reader is just that, a read-only application.  And, I understand that the Adobe solution for modifying PDF's is Adobe Acrobat.  I have components from 3rd parties that let me programatically modify PDF's.  So, from a strictly programming tools point of view, I don't need Acrobat to modify PDF's in my application.  The 3rd party components handle the PDF modification tasks.  I'm not trying to use the Acrobat SDK to modify PDF's, but rather only to view PDF's.
    So, when you say:
    "You can NOT use Reader to view PDF documents as part of a software solution that also modifies the PDF using some other technology"
    Do you mean:
    It is your understanding that using the Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing and 3rd party components for PDF modification in the same application constitutes a violation of the Acrobat SDK License Agreement?
    And when you say:
    "Acrobat, however, does not have this limitation"
    Do you mean:
    Adobe requires licensed Acrobat to be used for PDF modification in any application that uses Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing?  (In other words, PDF modification is where Adobe wants to make a profit.)
    Thanks for your input.

  • Creative Cloud license agreement question.

    This is very interesting for me to use whole CS6 only for 50$/Mo. But it's a bit complicated.
    Technically I am a citizen of Russia, but most of the year I live in USA or Thailand. And more importantly, I have an American bank cards.
    So, my question is: Can I use my American bank card to purchase Creative Clouds subscription and don't violate agreement?
    Thanks for answers.

    Hey EnotBert,
    The issue is not that you have the US Bank card but it is that the Software needs to be Deployed in US only. ULA (User License Agreement.) says that if you want to Deploy the Software Locally you need to buy it Locally. Only Exception to that, if you are a CLP customer you can buy Perpetual License in US and deploy it anywhere in the world, but this does not apply for Cloud. Hope this helps and explains. Thanks Bharat.

  • License Agreement Question

    I have aperture v1.5 on laptop and am getting imac. Can I install on imac with same disk that I loaded on laptop or do I need to buy a new copy of aperture for imac.

    Check your actual agreement, but from memory you can transfer to the other mac with no problems, as you can have it installed on two machines (one desktop, the other portable) as long as they are not used simulaneously. The program is protected across a network anyway.

  • IE10 Windows7 - iTunes opens maybe 3 times and then it thinks i am a new user.  I ge the license agreement again.  Apple SR Techs cannot figure it out.  Does this have to do with IE10?

    Windows 7 - installed IE10.  Now every few times iTunes is opened I get the 'user license' agreement as if i am a new user.  Apple SR techs have been working with me for weeks and have NOT solved this problem.  i have a iPhone 4S, but this happens before I even plug in.  Can you help?  Also, second question:
    Also, I have two apple accounts (mistake) and apple says that they cannot delete the invalid one!  When I finally can get on iTunes it asks if I want to merge or replace - I am told to do neither (i am syncing by plugging in the 4S to my computer - i have Outlook).  SO... right now i am unable to sync.  SR Tech says having the 2 accounts is not the problem - actually - 2 techs said it was and 1 says it is not.  SO frustrating!  Is there a way to resolve this?
    Thanks - CJ Texas

    McAfee AntiVirus by any chance? See the thread Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml?
    Not so sure about the suplemental question, but see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for tips to make sure you don't lose content from the device.

  • End User License Agreement + Safari 7

    I get this message when trying to open a PDF in Safari 7.0.2 in OS 10.9.2
    Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement.
    Please advise ASAP
    I spent my entire day trying to find an aswer how to slove this question. Your "chat support" is certinly not very helpful.

    Odd...
    I'd recommend:
    1. Download and install Reader - http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    or
    2. Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins and trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files and let Preview be your default viewer for PDFs in Safari.
    The former being easier and better of the two.

  • On the Oracle XE BETA Trial License agreement

    Hi all,
    I've got a question concerning the Oracle XE BETA Trial license (I'm referring to the document behind the "License Agreement" link in the "links" pane on the right top of the database home page)
    I understand that the Oracle XE Beta License grants permission to use the product for evaluation purposes. I also understand that the license is for a limited period of time (one month) only. The things I'm not really clear on are these:
    1) the license states that "You may not use the Software for any commercial or production purpose". What exactly constitutes commercial usage? For example, if I were to provide some business service, and want to allow my customers to enter a restricted or otherwise inaccessible web site powered by Oracle XE, Is that commercial usage? After all, people have to pay before they can access the site altough they are not paying for the database - they are paying for my content.
    Also, I though I understood from Tom's podcast that you can redistribute Oracle XE in an embedded form - Does this mean I can't charge money for my own product once I embed Oracle XE?
    2) will the production version have the same limitations regarding commercial usage of the database? What about the limited period of time?
    Any replies are greatly appreciated.
    kind regards
    Roland

    Tom,
    thanks for the quick reply. I did browse around the forum pages, but no luck. Of course, I didn't do the obvious and hit the search button - my bad, truly sorry.
    I already gathered the production release is planned for the end of februari: great news!
    Just to be totally clear on this: does 'production environment' mean that I can legally charge my customers money for use of a web-application powered by XE?

  • License requirements question

    All,
    I have the following question (stranger question):
    I just developed a SimpleMap class which is an equivalent of the HashMap from java.util, but very specialized with respect to some special uses cases I am dealing with.
    There is no dependency between my class and java.util.HashMap, SimpleMap is standalone. But certain portions of the code DO use techniques found in HashMap.java source code, namely: bucket index computation and Entry chaining (linked list simulation). Looks like I inspired from the JDK sources
    The question is: am I allowed to distribute this code? Do I need to include any reference to SUN along with the source code ? I did not have the time to browse license agreement stuff, unfortunately. However, if you guys can provide some links or even inline details they will be more than apreciated.
    I assume that hash-tables are anyway some standard stuff, so I do not see the point in mentioning that indexing and entry chaining was done as in SUN classes. But if you know I MUST do this, please let me know.
    Thanks a lot,
    Cristian

    Try using the following command to test the license installation.
    saplicense -test
    If you still have problems, restart the server.

  • License agreement number to install updates

    firefox wants to install updates, telling me very important to do so, but when i click on install and next, i keep getting a question needing the license agreement number and telling me to go to firefox web site...

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall

  • Please help - license agreement keeps popping up in cs5

    I can't open my installed trial of photoshop as the license agreement keeps popping up. Every time I open photoshop the licence agreement pops up - then i click accept - then it pops up again......... and again, and again etc.. please help me!!! will be so grateful

    I have ruined my entire weekend trying to figure this thing out myself.  Sure would be nice if an engineer from Adobe
    would actually dare to answer the question.  Here's a good one, where is my $1800.00 going.  A trip to England or in Adobe's non-responsive megalith pocket.  Hmmm I vote England.  CS5 blows.

  • Updating RE: License Agreement needs to be accepted, but not an admin

    Hi all,
    I deploy the Java RE to a number of Windows XP clients via wpkg (http://wpkg.org/Java#JRE_without_Java_Quick_Starter_on_32-bit_hosts) because an Java Web Start application named EGVP [1] should be used on the clients. The author of this application says that it has to be installed (i. e. started once) with administrative privileges, what I've done (manually) and all works fine.
    A problem occurs when wpkg updates the Java RE (e. g. from 1.6.19 to 1.6.20 this week): If the "normal" user without admin privileges starts its EGVP application after the update is performed, he/she is asked to accept the license agreement from Sun/Oracle for the Java RE. If you click on "Yes" there, an error message says that it needs administrative rights to save the changes?!
    As a quick&dirty workaround, I changed the folder security permissions for \Program Files\Java\jre6 so that the user group has full access to it, this solves the problem temporarily, but is not a real solution, I guess ;-) Furthermore, the next Java RE update via wpkg removes and re-creates the folder by uninstalling the old and installing the new Java version, so that my permissions are lost then (thankfully, it should not be a permanent condition).
    So my question is: Has any of you a similar problem or any idea how to solve this? I could try to set the folder permissions after an update via wpkg, too, but I don't think that's a good idea.
    I hope that any of you has an idea how to deal with this!
    Thanks in advance,

  • License agreement page not found.

    I have:
    Mac OS X Ver. 10.6.8 and am using Safari Ver. 5.1.10.
    Trying to install FlashPlayer 15.0.  I can download it. Does not auto install.  Go to manual install and get a red box where I have to agree to the term of license agreement. "Read the license here." Click here and get to a page that says:
    Sorry page is not available.  So I click okay and everything quits.  How do I install FlashPlayer? I have checked the discussions BUT the questions that might help  do not have answers.

    You can read the Flash Player license agreement here http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/legal/licenses-terms/pdf/Flash%20Player_15 .0.pdf

  • Skype license agreement business use

    Hello,
    I'm searching the whole skype webpage, but cannot find anything related to my question about the license agreement for business use.
    Can anyone tell me (or show me the link) to the page where it is told that i can or cannot use Skype for business use? We are a company of 60 people in The Netherlands, and we want to use Skype in our company to make calls to other users aroud the world. I want to know it this is legal.
    We do not need the full version with screen sharing etc. Only video and sound with more that two people in more than to places around the world is fine.
    Solved!

    Can you please respond without referring to the legal agreement?
    Thanks
    I'm neither a Microsoft or Skype employee so I can only offer my observations.  Our society and businesses are based off laws and contracts.  Since legal counsel is often used to draft such agreements a business generally utilizes counsel to decipher areas that might require further clarification. I'm not a lawyer but I have found the Terms of Use to be rather straightforward. If I have to dumb it down further in respect to the original question, it's pretty simple.
    Subscriptions are to be used by a singular person and can't be shared.  You can't use subscriptions for call center operations, cold/revenue calling, etc.   Skype's Fair usage policy is well worded (http://www.skype.com/en/legal/fair-usage/).   Skype credit calling doesn't appear to be as restricted.   If your business is making calls that coincide with standard business operations, I don't see how you would be in violation of anything.   If your business operations  are in a legal or possibly moral grey area then it would be better suited to interact with a company that explicitly supports your specific/unique operations.  Of course if those operations are generally considered illegal then no contract or terms of use would legitimize it.
