ELM 9.x to PLM 10.5 License Concern

Hi All,
I would like to ask if any concern if I upgrade from the standalone ELM 9.x to PLM 10.5, I would need to rehost again the License?
The UCSS must be valid as well?
As I planned to upgrade my Call Manager and Unity from 9.x to 10.5.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not completely versed in PLM/ELM as I just got my hands on 10.5 and was previously on 8.x with some 9.x platforms but from what I read the licenses should be fine. The link here shows that they are PLM supports both 9.x and 10.x so that also points in the direction that it shouldn't be an issue and that the licensing remains the same.

Here is another forum post about this issue that shows the process:

X200 Vista to Windows 7 Clean vs. Upgrade - Software License Concern

I bought an X200 with Vista (before the free upgrade) and have now purchased the Windows 7 upgrade software. Most of the tech forums recommend a clean install instead of an upgrade. Should I worry whether the software I have purchased (e.g. MS Office, Acrobat 9, etc.) will require me to purchase another license? Or, will it "recognize" my PC if I copy down the product keys?
Solved!

Hi
Most software still do not have activation so there it is a question of having the serial number and the matching installer/CD saved.
With Adobe software that uses activation you can deactivate the software before the upgrade and then reactivate again after.
I do not know how sensitive MS Office is. My experience from one system which I helped recover was that Office activated automatically on the same machine again. I guess even if you would be required to activate over the phone there should be no issues as you are reinstalling on the same machine.

Licensing concerns for end users of Interactive PDFs

The following is hypothetical...
My Company has bought and has licensed some Adobe Creative Suite software in order to use LiveCycle Designer to produce Interactive PDFs for use by any type of Customer - internal to the Company or external to the Company.
Once an Interactive PDF has been produced and then distributed out to the Customer, does the Customer need to have a license in place to use the PDF? Does the Company have to ensure the Customer has a License in place? Is the Company going against any particular License?
Sorry to be vague but I guess the bottom line is what and who needs to be Licensed in order to use and/or distribute Adobe Interactive PDFs?
Thanks,

If the forms are just going to be distributed, filled in by Reader and the results submitted as a web form would be, there are no limitations... that's part of the value of PDF and the Adobe Reader.
But if you take the form and reader-extend it with Acrobat Pro to allow local save of the filled-in form, there are licensing limitations. I recently covered this in another post, so I suggest looking there. If there are more questions, just post them to this thread.

Windows Server 2012 R2 License Concerns

Hi,
Good day.
This is my first post, hopefully I am in the right forum to ask.
I have recently transferred to a new job on a new company. There would be various projects also endorsed. One of them are upgrading of legacy IBM servers OS. They have already bought the latest Windows Server OS which is Windows Server 2012 R2 version.
But during the transition the upgrade of OS was given to me, during the upgrade of IBM x346 server there were multiple issues raised (RAID drivers for x64). I was only able to install Windows 2012 Standard version, but our license only have Windows Server 2012
R2.
Can I use the license of Windows Server 2012 R2 to Windows Server 2012? I do understand we have downgrade rights from Win2k12R2 to various OS like 2k8, 2k12 or 2k8 R2. But this is not a downgrade process. Can I simply input the product key to activate Windows
Server 2012 with Windows Server 2012 R2?
Hope you understand my question. Thank you.

Can I use the license of Windows Server 2012 R2 to Windows Server 2012? I do understand we have downgrade rights from Win2k12R2 to various OS like 2k8, 2k12 or 2k8 R2. But this is not a downgrade process. Can I simply input the product key to activate Windows
Server 2012 with Windows Server 2012 R2?
If you have purchased the license for WS2012R2, but wish to install WS2012, this is considered a "downgrade" of the license, and, this is usually a permitted entitlement. (it is not necessary to perform the technical installation of WS2012R2 and
then technically install WS2012 - it is permitted to "clean-install" WS2012)
To exercise this "downgrade right", confirm your entitlement to do so, and the entitled version/edition (via your licensing agreement).
You will then need to acquire the installation media for the desired version/edition, and also, acquire the specific license product key to do so.
You can acquire the relevant product key by telephoning Microsoft Product Activation Centre, and explain your scenario, that you wish to exercise your "downgrade rights" - you will be provided with a one-time-use Product Key for this purpose.
Or, have I misunderstood your question?

ELM 9.1.x Multiple clusters

I have a question regarding multiple clusters registered in ELM. Is there a way to move licenses from one cluster to the other cluster. For example
Cluster-Pub-A has 1000 CUWL LIc. I add Cluster-Pub-B to my network and register to ELM. Is it possible to move licenses from one cluster to another.
Second option.
With Cisco Sales order # (proof of purchase) could I ask TAC or Licensing to move 100 CUWL license from Cluster A to B.
Thanks

With ELM the license are tied to the ELM node and can be shared by multiple CUCM clusters. ELM will sync with all the clusters and provides an overview of all the licenses being used by all clusters, if you have sufficient licenses installed on ELM then no alerts are generated if not you will see alert as which cluster is not in compliance for the license and you can add additional licenses as needed. If you remove a cluster from ELM and at next sync those licenses will be freed and is available. For example in a disaster recovery scenario, if one data center is down, I can bring-up another cluster in another data center, add my new cluster to the ELM. Remove the old CUCM cluster, do a sync on ELM, the licenses will be automatically consumed/allocated to the new cluster.

RoboSource Licensing?

We purchased two licenses for RHx7 and (YAY!!!) RH now has
multi-author capability (I was stuck on x4).
My architectural solution is to place RoboSource Control
client on the two author's machines that have RH, and having a SQL
database with RSC server instance.
Software Compliance decided to check with Adobe about
licensing concerns with placing the RSC server instance on a
machine (SQL Server) that didn't have a purchased license of
RoboHelp. I tried to explain that this shouldn't be the case, that
all RSC is doing is providing an interface for the source files (we
are installing per the excellent article that M. Ellison wrote).
Adobe told them we needed RoboHelp server. I think this is
unnecessary, we have our own publication & feedback solution
(due to business continuity requirements).
I have looked high and low on this site concerning RSC
installation and haven't been able to find anything pertinent to
licensing. It seems that because this was shipped with RH7, it was
understood by Adobe that we needed this to use a multi-authoring
environment and if needed, one could place RSC Server on a server
to act as the repository for the source files.
Does anyone know the answer?

heavywriter, I have replied to your query on another thread
that you don't need RoboHelp Server to use RoboSource Control
Server. Best usage of RoboSource Control Server is as M Ellison
wrote in his article.

CUCM & Unity - both 8.6 - to 9.1.2 - Refresh upgrade file ? & Reload Sequence

Hi guys,
I have two questions..
I have to update CUCM 8.6.2 (Cluster of 2 ) to 9.1.2
And Unity 8.6.2 ( cluster of 2 ) to 9.1.2
First question,
Do I need the refresh upgrade file For CUCM 8.6.2 before upgrade ?
Do I need the refresh upgrade file For Unity 8.6.2 before upgrade ?
Second question,
From what I know For CUCM I Update PUB First, then Reboot PUB... once done I Update CUCM SUB and Reboot SUB.
For Unity, I think I have to update Unity PUB ( no reboot) then Update Unity SUB ( once both update, I reboot PUB, and when it is UP I reboot Unity SUb )
is that right ?
thanks,

Here is the process for migrating licenses:
Upgrade your apps to version 9, you will run in 60 day demo mode
Install ELM and add UCXN and CUCM instances to it
Go through license migration process in ELM
2 files will be generated for license migration one for CUCM and one for UCXN
Send these to [email protected]
Cisco will issue new licenses for version 9 based on what was configured and what you are entities to based on UCSS
My experience is that they don't spend too much comparing to what you are actually entitled to so you may want to need to work with them on manually adjusting anything, i.e. convert Enhanced/Enhnaced Plus to CUWL, etc.

Upgrade cucm,cuc,im&presence from 8.6 to 10.5

hi guys
i need assistance to understand the precise steps with the upgrade here.
i read a lot about the ova changes,nic changes and more,but i m not sure about many steps here .
is there anyone who upgrade successfully that can things sorted?
tk
shoham

If they are already on the VMs then it is much easier:
1. Get the refresh Cop file installed on all the servers (publisher first and then the remaining servers)
2. Once you have done the Refresh upgrade, then very carefully read the exact version number, as you can do a direct upgrade to version 10.5 from 8.6, however you must be able to match the exact release number which CSCO allows to do a direct upgrade to 10.5, else you may encounter "this upgrade is not allowed" and then you will have to upgrade to 9.x and then 10.0 and then 10.5, Hence it will save a lot of time,
3. Once the upgrade has been completed, on the CCM Pub, enable the PLM for the license management.
Just so that you know, once it is 10.x, the licensing system becomes a lot more different than 8.x, hence I will recommend that you keep all the PAKs handy BEFORE you attempt the upgrade.
Once it has been upgraded, using the PLM you can generate a lic request and get the Lic directly to the servers or you can generate a lic Request file and get the Lic from TAC's help.
4. In 10.x the system wants every user phone to be assigned with an "Owner ID" , so I will highly recommend that you take care of that aspect (by BAT) during the upgrade or right after it, else it will back to haunt you.
All the best!

Can I unstall Office 2011 from a Macbook and re-install the same software on a different Mac/Mackbook?

Hi all,
I’ve looked around Google and here and I can’t find a definitive answer to my question so hopefully you guys can give me some advice
I bought the Office package in 2011 when it was new and installed it on my Macbook. I now plan to buy an iMac for the purpose of studying so I'd like to remove it from my Macbook and transfer it to the new Mac. My Macbook is running on the current highest software (the name escapes me at present, I'm not on it to check) and I assume the Mac will be too. If I were to uninstall everything, would I be able to use the same disc (i.e. same unique code) on the other computer? I believe I only have the 1 disc 1 Mac version so can't have two running with the same software.
Ideally I'd not like to buy another Office package so any advice would be much appreciated. I realise I may not have much choice though...!
Many thanks for your assistance.
Kind Regards,

New Mac's come with OS X 10.8 so you would have to check compatibility of your software with the new OS X versions.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Next you will have to check if the software will install or not on 10.8 from the disk, since the disk is static it can't change for newer OS X versions, however the software itself might run fine if a more recently updated version is downloaded and installed, then the license key entered.
Far as licensing concerns, you will have to check with the developer how to go about deauthorizing, uninstalling and getting a new license key for the new machine or if you can continue to use the existing one.
Most licenses are for one machine, however some can be multiple machine packs.
If you don't exactly need Office specifically to work with other Office users, you can also install the free LibreOffice and it can open your Office files.
The thing with Office is it's widely used in businesses, so if you learned it already then it doesn't make much sense to continue using it and paying money for only personal use.
https://www.libreoffice.org/
LibreOffice is truly cross platform, Linux, OS X and Windows. The files are easily exchange and many Mac users are thrilled using it apparently as the developers have commented a great deal of Mac users are installing it.
If you have trouble installing, it's likely Gatekeeper security that's on the new 10.8 machines, simply hold control key and click on the installer/program and select "Open" and it will remmeber it's a trusted program from then on.

Why Can't we use AVI containers?

I've just got the new N97 and I've updated to firmware 11.0.021
I have to say I'm impressed with the multimedia capabilities and the screen is wonderful. My question is why on earth we don't have support for the AVI container.
I have a pretty good understanding of video technology and I've come to realize that despite the fact my handset will play xvid or h264 in an MP4 container it won't play the exact same file with an avi container.
I can't understand why. I'm guessing it won't play the same file again if it's in an MKV container either, that's quite understandable.
The effort one has to go to to demux/remux every single file for playback on the mobile makes the whole package so much less intuitive.
As far as I know there is no licensing concerns with container formats as the codecs themselves are what costs money to support.
The worst part of the whole situation is that there is almost no applications on Windows which will allow the transfer of a video from one container format to another without re-encoding. Linux and Mac both have options to do this with pass-through encoders like 'transcode' or 'quicktime pro' but on Windows the only solution is a complete re-encode which could mean hours to convert an entire film.
Please nokia, I implore you. Add AVI container support in the next firmware revision.

You can't use WMA audio in an MP4 file it won't play with an N97.
Use these settings:
Video
- MPEG-4
- 640x360
- 1.5 Mbps
- 25 fps
Audio
- AAC (mpeg4aac)
- 2 channel
- 96 kbps
- 44100 Hz or 48000 Hz
If you are trying to use H264 video codec, start by trying Baseline profile. I don't know how to set it up in ffmpeg but if by default it tries main profile then the resulting video will not work.
For information about the video capabilities it should be here
640K Should be enough for everybody

Windows 7 Pro 64-bit to be used as a terminal server

Hello,
I'm looking at using a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit PC as a Terminal Server using an application such, as ThinStuff XP/VS (www.thinstuff.com), to manage the RDP connections. Based on everything I've read, it looks like there's no Terminal Server CALs available
for purchase through MicroSoft, so is there a need to worry about licensing? Each PC that connects will have it's own Windows 7 Pro valid license and, of course, the PC to be used is also valid. Are there any licensing concerns I should have?
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
To set up a terminal server, I suggest to set up a windows server system, Since Windows 7 is a client operating system and I do not suggest to use a third part software to modify its roles, especially the role or function related to the license. As for your
license concern, you can refer to the license agreement below Select your product name, version and language:

Distributing Oracle Web Services Proxy client?

Hi,
We built a web services client using Web Services Proxy tool in JDeveloper. We want to distribute it as a stand-alone application to our clients.
1. How can we determine the minimal set of JAR libraries required for the application to run?
2. Are there any licensing issues?
Thanks!
Simeon

If you are not using any ADF libraries there is no licensing concerns.

GridControl & RMAN repository Schemas on one DB

Is this good practice, what would be pros & cons? What are the best practices?

My personal preference is to have them separate since:
- The requirements are different and your OMR upgrade/patching is also going to affect your catalog which you may not want (already mentioned)
- Your catalog, and OMR should be small separate instances from everything else, as each is the admin for their respective duties, i.e. (backup/recovery) and monitoring, and your catalog should contain backup/recovery data for everything including your OMR.
If you are running a RAC and/or Data Guard and don't have a problem with your OMR patching affecting your catalog, or vice versa them here I don't see issues in combing the two.
Now taking into consideration you are in a small shop, and assuming:
- You probably don't have a lot of instances so you are not doing backups throughout much of the day (so you can plan your OEM outages around when you are not doing backups
- You will be doing exp/imp for the catalog and/or using the control file as the catalog for this instance
- You may have license concerns
I would use a single instance for both schemas.
Hope this helps in your decision and good luck.
On another note, I think that we each have our own experiences from which our opinions are formed. It is not that all the time anyone is right or wrong, just that their experiences are different.

Adobe Premiere shows "Created with Adobe Premiere trial version"

Adobe Premiere shows "Created with Adobe Premiere trial version" I thought it's a fully function trial isn't that right? I made one project to test the program and it didn't have that on the screen but when i started working on the second one it started showing the message on all the videos "fyi i just downloaded it today"
I appreciate your help

It may depend on which Codec you are using. I know we had to reduce the functionality of Premiere in the past due to licensing concerns. Was there differences in the encoding you used for the video between the two projects?

is it possible to change it to other custom name? e.g. ABC Reporting System.
if yes, any license concern?
will I break the law if I change it?

I am not talking the content of login page.
I am talking the title of the page.
