FMS Origin and Edge license questions

Hello!
We want to start audio/video-service transferring live stream
(cam-2-cam, video/audio/text chat) for an acquaintance site basis
on Flash Media Server technology. For uninterrupted work of this
service we have calculated that it is necessary to introduce the
server scheme consisting of 1 Origin and 2 Edge servers. The number
of simultaneous user connections is about 1000. The users have the
bandwidth at least 256/256 Kbit per second (download/upload).
Our questions:
1. Is our calculations true?
2. What requirements are necessary to bandwidth to each
server in this case?
3. What is the price of license in this case?
4. How and where it is possible to get Flash Media Server in
territory of Russia or it probably to carry out through head
office?
Thank you!

Assuming video is being broadcast at 256kbps, each 2 way
video chat will consume about 1mbps of bandwidth (2 publishers 2
subscribers). With 1000 users, you're talking about 500mbps of
throughput.
When I last read about it, the Origin license was somewhere
around $50,000, but I didn't get that number straight from Adobe,
so don't take my word as absolute fact.
If I were planning this project, I might opt to go with 7
professional licenses (1050 connections) instead of an origin and
an edge. My reasoning is this... you can spread the load across
more servers without having to buy additional licenses, and since
the streams are unique and not viewed by a large audience, you
don't need the stream caching feaures of the origin/edge license.
About sales in Russia, I don't know about that. You might
want to contact Adobe directly.

Oracle express edition and JDBC licensing question

Hi all,
I am writing a web application that requires a database to work. I also will be selling this application. which leads me to these questions:
1) legally can i use the oracle express edition?
2) legally can i use the oracle JDBC driver?
Thanks,

Based on the discussions in the XE forum (confirmed by Oracle representatives in official capacity) as well as the license agreement (which you should take to your lawyer tp etermine how to set up the paperwork for your application):
You can include the Oracle Express Edition in your application. You can charge for your application and give no money back to Oracle for the use of Oracle Express Edition. You can distribute the client-side JDBC that is included in XE as well.
But - you can not hold Oracle responsible for the operation of the database, nor ask them for support or patches.
As Eric says - join us over in the XE forum for more discussion of this.

Photoshop and Edge subscription question

I am subscribed to the Photoshop Photography Program (and I'm a CS6 perpetual licence holder.) Does my subscription include access to the Edge products? I notice that Edge Inspect was installed along with my subscription, and in the Creative Cloud manager application the Edge products are marked as Install while other apps are marked as Try.

Hi, John-
Edge Animate CC is available through a subscription to the Creative Cloud, and you can also subscribe to Animate CC itself. Animate 1.x is available for a limited time perpetual license through creative.adobe.com, but the browsers are constantly changing, and CC is keeping up with them while 1.x is not.
Thanks,

Lumira Server for BI Platform and Team/Edge consumption & licensing question

Hi. I have a few questions.
Question 1:
From my reading, I've heard that Lumira Edge/Team server may not be a part of BI-Suite License. I read a Lumira Server ASUG Webcast recap by Tammy Powlas here (SAP Lumira Server for Teams Roadmap ASUG Webcast) over the weekend and one of the Q&A questions struck me:
Q: Is this included with the BI Suite license from SAP?
A: Lumira Server for Teams (Edge Edition) is not covered under BI Suite License. However, Lumira Server for BI Platform (RTC Planned in April) is covered under BI Suite licenses
In a separate conversation late 2014, I thought I'd heard that Lumira Team/Edge server was supposed to be usable by BI Suite licensed customers, but it sounds like I'm mistaken?
Question 2:
Next, the second part of the statement gave me hope:
However, Lumira Server for BI Platform (RTC Planned in April) is covered under BI Suite licenses
I then looked at the Lumira Deployment Options for Departments Part 1 – ASUG Webcast by Tammy Powlas to get some more information on Lumira Server for BI Platform. This slide gave me some hope (emphasis mine in green):
But then I see some more information a little later:
Is this slide to imply that the version without HANA (or HANA XS) for BI Platform will only really just serve as a user rights management and Lumira document repository? And that if I want to view a Lumira document, I must still open from the Lumira Desktop client?
It was suggested I start a new discussion thread to ask this licensing question about a product that's not out yet (but the slide says it's GA so I'm still confused) so here I am with my discussion thread!
Hopefully someone can make me less confused. I'm hoping the answer is as a BI-Suite customer that we do not have to make a decision to either invest in new Edge/Team licenses or buy HANA XS hardware to establish a beachhead of Lumira usage in our organization. We've been struggling with promoting Lumira and the sharing piece has been the sore spot.

Hi Michael
You are right, it is confusing...
I think it will be better to contact sales to get this explained as opposed to technical support people that monitor this SCN Space.

CS6 and EDGE : the SUITE question (originally posted in CCM forum)

sorry I copy paste from CCM forum as the question ir related (?) to both subjects, and I may have better answers here or there
Alright, sorry I posted a quesiton this morning and found the answer, i have to have CS6 to use lateste Edge Animate.
What bugs me is that here it says (document created in May but updated lately it seems)
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/enhancing- your-dps-folios-with-edge-animations.html
it also takes
"Adobe Digital Publishing Suite Professional or Enterprise account"
Do you confirm ?
If taht is, it's really painful, we can't afford it fdor now...
We sold a project with previous version made under CS5.5 and Edge Preview (we could use Egde stuff by then) so we're a little bit trapped.
Do you confirm it takes a paying suite to be able to use EDGE ANIMATE in CS6 ?
If we pay for the CCM soon (we think about it) will we have to pay both then ? CCM and the PROFESSIONAL EDITION ?
thanx for the answer

If you have CC you get Edge and you are free to use it any DPS work you do, including Single Edition.

Urgent .. FMS origin & edge licence needed

we've developed some Flash video applications that will have
1000
(avg.) to 5000 (at peak time) connections for a very large
scaled
project in Turkey. We have all tested our applications with
Developer
Edition and when we made sure that everything is ok, we
decided to
start the project. I have checked this adobe website for
contact about
FMS licences. I could not found any office or reseller number
in
turkiye. so i tried the numbers from the beginning. all of
the
contacts that i ve talked took my name my office number my
company
name etc. but again none of them helped me about the
situation. they
all redirected me to other support numbers. (both in US,UK
and
Amsterdam) i wasted 2 weeks (both day and night because of
the time
zone issues). of course none of the contacts helped me about
my
questions. most of them were unaware of Origin Edge licences.
After
calling about 100 contacts (which is also not quite cheap if
you are
calling abroad) they told me that maybe "insight" could help
me. Then
i wasted another 2 days with insight contacts then they told
me that
they are not allowed to sell products because of their tax
issues.
Anyway i have found an adobe distributor in istanbul by
google search
(also none of US or UK adobe offices had knew any contact in
Turkey).
They also send me to a reseller. And i have wasted another
week with
them. What they told about FMS Origin&Edge licences was
in conflict
with the ones that had told me by a US department. (And also
a
department told me that Edge and Origin licences are
different. Edge
is for +1000 connections and Origin is for +5000 connections.
Adobe
should try to teach them some =) ) Anyway we had also
confused about
licence needs. Ali Halac (medyasoft-istanbul) really helped
us a lot
about all the issues but there was still some that they also
have to
learn by Bilkom (adobe partner). But we (and they) couldnt
reach any
contact in Bilkom because they were in vacation. So it has
been nearly
1 month and i cant still get enough information about the
licence that
i need. i 've checked all the whitepapers blogs vs. about
Origin&Edge
licences but couldnt find enough information though. Now i
need some
one that can directly help me about this issue? Any email or
telephone
number?

i also dont think that this would be really helpful but i
tried almost Everything. I really dont know what to do now. we are
thinking to start an opensource project to stream over rtmp with C.
Coding what we need in C would not take more than a month. I have
no one to help me in USA. And as you know there is not much
information about Origin&Edge licences. They only say that it
starts from 45.000$. so i also dont know the price. i think that
maybe ones that had similar problems before can help me.

First question - I have Acrobat 9 on my desktop and the license seems to have been messed up. I tried to download and fis but I asked me for a disk. I don't have any idea where the "disk" is. Can I get the license update without that disk?

Second question - In anticipation of not being able to do that, I bought (at University bookstore) Acrobat XI Pro - do I need to uninstall the 9.0 Pro version before I try to install the XI version?

Questions re: GPIB-ENET, LabView 5 and 7, license and Win XP

We have a full development version of LabView 5.0 on a Win 98 SE machine, and just acquired a GPIB-ENET box that came with Solaris drivers. I loaded the GPIB and VISA software on LabView 5.0 and tried to connect to test the setup to no avail. It appears that all of the drivers are present. I believe that my problem is that I can�t get the IPAssign network driver bound to the 3Com ethernet card. When I load it in network properties, it doesn�t offer any hardware to bind to it. If I run IPAssign anyway, it claims the only networking hardware available is dialup, and sits forever (probably waiting to connect to a dialup line).
The ultimate plan is to upgrade to LabView 7, and install it with the GPIB-EN
ET box on a Win XP system. I have a demo version of 6.1, so I loaded that on the XP machine and tried again. LabView 6.1 appears to be missing drivers for GPIB-ENET, and looking through the knowledge base tells me a driver bug leaves Win XP incapable of assigning an IP address to GPIB-ENET anyway.
My questions are:
1. Should it be possible to get LabView 5.0 with 98SE talking to the older GPIB-ENET box, at least to set the IP address? Is this failing because I need to download the license (p/n 778258-02)?
2. If I order LabView 7 and install it on Win XP, will I still need to download the license to run it, or is that included in version 7?
3. Once I get LabView 7 and the driver and the license (if necessary) will I be able to assign the IP address with this setup?
4. If the answer to #1 is �yes, with a license� and to #3 is �no�, then can I download the license, use it to assign an IP address on LabView 5 and transfer it to LabView 7/ Win XP when I get it to use the GPIB-EN
ET box?
Thanks.

Hello,
Which version of the GPIB drivers are you using? We recommend using NI-488.2 v2.0 for your GPIB-ENET device (for Windows XP and Windows 98).
1. Should it be possible to get LabView 5.0 with 98SE talking to the older GPIB-ENET box, at least to set the IP address? Is this failing because I need to download the license (p/n 778258-02)?
A: If you have version 2.0 of the drivers, you should be able to assign the IP okay. Do you see a pattern in the LEDs flashing? Check the READY LED and see if you see a pattern, as this indicates an error code. The following formula can be used to find the error code:
error code= (long flashes-1)(short flashes-1)example: 3 long flashes, and 9 short flashes = (3-1)(9-1) = 28
If the READY LED does not stop flashing, it indicates that the GPIB-ENET does not have a valid IP address assigned to it. According to this KB:
The problem is the Ethernet address. The field for the Ethernet address in the IPAssign Utility is meant for the last four digits of the Ethernet address on your GPIB-ENET (the first part of the address is the same for all GPIB-ENETs, so it is pre-filled for you). If you run the IPAssign Utility again and fill in the last four digits of your GPIB-ENET's Ethernet address (in the format: xx:xx), then you should be able to assign it an IP address successfully.
More details: The Receive LED flashes because the Ethernet header for the packet is correct and the GPIB-ENET recognizes that; However, the header was actually duplicated when you entered the Ethernet address in the IPAssign Utility, so it did not match the exact Ethernet address of that particular GPIB-ENET. The only numbers that need to be entered into the Ethernet address field in the IPAssign Utility are the last 4 numbers in the format: xx:xx.
Note: The user must decide what the IP address is going to be. Your IT department could probably help.The Ethernet Address however, is statically programmed into each ENET. It's usually labeled at the bottom of the unit.
Also, refer to this KB regarding some IP issues we've had with some of the older GPIB-ENET devices.
2. If I order LabView 7 and install it on Win XP, will I still need to download the license to run it, or is that included in version 7?
A: You should uninstall and reinstall NI-488.2 v2.0. If you already have this driver, you will not need to re-license it. The driver is not included with LabVIEW 7.0 by default.
3. Once I get LabView 7 and the driver and the license (if necessary) will I be able to assign the IP address with this setup?
A: You should be able to assign the IP fine. Look at the response for first question above to make sure you are assigning the IP correctly.

thanx for the answer

You are wanting to use both Edge Animate and Digital Publishing Suite (DPS) together?
I would ask about using both together in the DPS forum here http://forums.adobe.com/community/dps. They will also know if DPS:Single Edition (which is less expensive than the Professional or Enterprise versions) will work for you.
For a question specific to just Edge Animate the forum is here http://forums.adobe.com/community/edge_animate.

Install SBOP 3.1 Enterprise and use EDGE license key possible?

For a customer I want to install the latest version of SBOP 3.1, which is Service Pack 7.
This service pack is only available in SBOP 3.1 ENTERPRISE, and not in the SBOP 3.1 EDGE.
Can I download and install SBOP 3.1 ENTERPRISE, and enter an EDGE license key? This customer won't need clustering/failover, or any other functionality which is available in enterprise. I just want to use the latest version.

Hi,
yes, you can.

Licensing Questions...

We are deploying over 400 Server 2012 machines for a major client over the next few months. They are shipping out pre-configured for the clients, and we are tracking the license keys we ship out.
The hiccup is their corporate entity also want us to have hot spares on hand, ready to ship in a few hours notice since they are mission critical servers. We don't wish to do the license key shuffle...corporate would LIKE the keys to remain with a single
location for audit purposes.
Since I am tracking license keys that are sent out, am I allowed to configure a new server for a "replacement" system with the original license key? They will return the defective units to us, where we will determine the problems and repair them
with the manufacturer, them load/build them with a new 2012 license key.
This isn't an issue of their site fudging licenses...they will only have a single server operating with that particular license key. We will NOT duplicate the keys except for the exact same location...with the returns being "essentially" stripped
down, repaired/rebuilt and reloaded with another valid NEW license key.
I don't anticipate we will need to do this often...but have already had one system melt down in the pilot phase. I built their new system with their original license key and there were no flags when it registered.
Just want to make sure we are not violating any policies or breaking the law with regards to licenses...
To me...it's like having my server die and buying a new one to replace it and loading it with my original license. Only I'm going to need to do it for someone else now...and just want to verify it's OK to do so.
My other question regards the pool devices...
I will build the pool systems using separate valid (legal) license keys. Once built...they will stay online receiving Windows updates until we get a message to ship out. Then we will load the corporate software on the servers, change the license key to their
original and ship out.
Is there any problem with me using the key I built the system with again?
I know we can build the systems with a "trial use" key, but then I only have 30 days to activate the system. Since I have no idea how long they will be sitting on the bench...it's another headache I really don't wish to keep track of.
Regards,
Joe Raymond

Actually, Tim...corporate had it all arranged. We are just the "implementers" of their plan.
We are vendors working for them...full stop.
But thanks for the direction...I believe I found the answer.
License Reassignment
Most, but not all, licenses may be reassigned from one device or user to another.
The general rules governing license reassignment are described below, along with some special rules for certain products and license types.
Limitations on License Reassignment
Except as permitted below, you may not reassign licenses on a short-term basis (within 90 days of the last assignment), nor may you reassign licenses for Windows desktop operating system or Rental Rights, or Software Assurance separately from the underlying
license to which the Software Assurance is attached.
Condition on License Reassignment
When you reassign a license from one device or user to another, you must remove the software or block access from the former device or from the former user’s device.
Special Considerations for Certain Products and License Types
CALs, Management Licenses and User/Device Subscription Licenses (SLs).
You may reassign a CAL, Management License or user or device SL on a short-term basis, to cover a user’s absence or the unavailability of a device that is out of service.
Reassignment of these licenses for any other purpose or timeframe must be permanent.
This right does not apply to Windows Intune and Windows Intune Add-on User SLs or Window Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) licenses.
Early Reassignment Due to Hardware Failure.
You may reassign sooner than within 90 days of the last assignment if you retire the Licensed Device or server due to permanent hardware failure.
This right applies to: all server licenses (other than CALs and Management Licenses), Windows Intune and Windows Intune Add-on User SLs, Windows Virtual Desktop Access subscription licenses, Windows Companion Subscription Licenses, VDI
suites, and Visual Studio Load Test Virtual User Pack 2010.
This was pulled from the User Rights document dated October 2013.
Since there will be no "short-term" reassignments, but it clearly would fall under "Hardware Failure" during the deployment phase...and our intent is to remove the installed license on the defective system...we are covered under both
the "Condition on License Reassignment" and "Early Reassignment Due to Hardware Failure"
clauses of the license agreements according to Microsoft.

What is load balancer in fms cluster and how to configure it and testing fms clustering

Hey guys,
I am new to fms and clustering the fms server in origin-edge mode.But i am confused actually what is load balancer and how to configure it .
After configuring , how to test and confirm that fms clustering is working.Is there any one can help me, plz....................
thanks in Advance........

Flash Media Server does not come bundled with a load balancer. In theory, one deploys FMS in an edge/origin configuration like this
1 Origin ----> N Edges ------> Customer Traffic
The idea here is that N edges shoulder the load for most customers with a single origin coordinating resources like VOD content or script access. The issue that remains is "how do I spread customers over the N edges" and that's where load balancing comes in. Most customers use a prepackaged load balancing solution - as an Adobe staffer I can't recommend any of them over the other, but you should be able to get some recommendations here along with just googling for it. The short answer contained here though is, you're going to have to find one outside of FMS if that's needed for your setup.

Multicast on Origin or Edge

I have a setup for 1x Origin and 1xEdge - FMS 4.5 dev server. I want to test multicast. Have looked at the multicast configurator tool, just a bit unclear about which server to run this on. Should the live stream connect to the origin server and all clients connect to the edge server. Besides the vhost.xml file config to switch the server to Edge, what else should I be looking at ?
I have tried this setup and cannot pull the stream from Edge. FYI ... I'm running IP only multicast.
Any suggestions ?

You need to configure this on origin and let the clients connect to origin itself.. I don't think edge-origin support multi-cast (though I might be wrong) ..

FMS Origin-Only Clustering.

Hi,
      I was successfully able to setup FMS edge-origin cluster but Origin-only clustering is the one we wanted for our live applications.
Can someone please provide any material / pointer about setting up Multiple Origin clustering. The only place I found was 'Large Scale Deployment with FMIS'.
    I guess for Origin Only Clustering, we need to have our own caching system. Can someone what does get cached in a Live AV Chat? How do I propagate it to other Origins?
   What kind of plugins would I need for cache managing? What should the plugin do ?
   In the attached Origin Only Architecture, what does the Primary Origin do and Secondary Origin do ?   I thought Origin is the place where the application is actually running and Edges do proxy. Is it the same here in Origin-only clustering also?
   Are there any tools which can measure the lag in AV ? (like performance measuring tools or load testing tools for FMS).
   What kind of software Load Balancer can we use for FMS clustering? ( like Nginx, Zeus or something ?) ?
   Kindly help on this FMS Origin-only clustering.
Thanks
Karthik.
