How to identify Microsoft Licensing ( OEM, FPP or VLs ) on pc?

Hi guys.
A client of mine asked me how could they identify their Microsoft Licensing types either OEM, FPP or VLs on their computer?
For OEM I know we could check it on the Product ID with it stated clearly its OEM (3 characters in ID) but how about VLs and FPP?
1) Can we check it on pc too without using any software or tool?
2) If there is a good software to check this, mind to share?
TQ

This is not a security issue, however, try:

  • Identifying Which License is on Which Machine?

    I have two licenses for CS3 Design Premium and I have each license installed on two Macs--one each on one desktop and one MB Pro--four machines in all.
    Now I have ordered an upgrade to CS5 DP to replace two of those installations, but I cannot find the record that I thought I had kept to show which licenses are on which machines. I had also thought that there was a way to display a partial serial number--sufficient to determine what I need to know--but I cannot find it.
    All four Macs are on the same network. I thought it would be easy enough to at least learn which pair of machines has the same license by opening one of the applications on computer A and then going to computers B, C, and D to see where the application would not launch because an instance was already running on another machine on the network. That didn't work; I can run any of the CS3 applications on all four Macs simultaneously. Disabling the license check is not something that I would do even if I knew how to do it, so I cannot explain why this is the case.
    Part 2 of my question. After one of you kind souls tells me how to identify which licenses are on which machines: Suppose that license 1 is running on machines A and B and license 2 is running on machines C and D. But I want to install the CS5 update on machines A and C. Can I swap licenses between machines before I install the CS5 upgrade, possibly by deactivating the licenses and reactivating with the appropriate serial numbers?
    I hope to resolve this quickly for a hassle-free installation of the upgrade. I had an experience with Adobe some years ago that left a bad taste in my mouth. I could not activate a CS3 DP license after buying the software in a box at retail. It took countless hours on the phone over a period of months to persuade Adobe to help me, even though I had a longish (for a non-pro user) list of licensed Adobe software that I had bought at retail, and it was my opinion that Adobe could have guessed from a glance at that list that I am not a likely software pirate. A lingering fear of a repetition of that very unpleasant experience is why it has taken me so long to upgrade. My wife and I need to run this software on two Macs simultaneously and if this upgrade goes well I will upgrade my other CS3 license with greater confidence.
    Thanks!

    Since no one else answered my question I had to do it the hard way and answer for myself. In an on-line chat with Adobe Customer Service I learned that what I wanted to do could not be done; there was no way to determine which license is on which machine. The ACS rep did say something that led me to the solution, which is really quite simple.
    This works for CS3, but I cannot say whether it would work for other versions of CS.
    I deactivated all four installations of CS3. In so doing I checked the box which asks if one wants to erase the serial number from that computer.
    Then I re-activated CS3 on all four Macs, entering the serial numbers as I wanted them to be, and noting which serial number I put in which Mac.
    Done. The CS5 is now installing nicely, thank you.

  • Bluetooh Stack Evaluation Period ends and can't figure out how to obtain a license

    I have been useing Bluetooth Stack since I got my Satellite Laptop with a bluetooth usb dongle that I purchase off of EBay to connect to the internet. When I first started using Bluetooth Stack, it said it was a 30 day evaluation copy. When the 30 days ended it would not allow me to connect. I called Toshiba CS and they had me download the newest version of Bluetooth Stack. Again it was an evaluation copy and 30 days later it quit working. I tried to uninstall and reinstall but that didn't work. I called Toshiba CS again and they said that Bluetooth Stack is a freeware and shouldn't require a license. I was able to obtain a different version and I have it working again but it is still only an evaluation version and I have 20 days till it quits working.
    Does anyone know how to get a license or know how to unlock Bluetooth Stack so it won't expire after 30 days of use? Does anyone know of another program that is free and easy to use in place of Bluetooth Stack? Any help would be greatly appriciated.

    As I understand it, the Toshiba Bluetooth stack works fine with Toshiba Bluetooth hardware connected to the computer.  (Not to be confused with the Bluetooth device which can be any brand.)
    If you hook up a non-Toshiba Bluetooth dongle to the USB port then it gives the trial period.  The solution is to uninstall the Toshiba Bluetooth stack and use the software that came with your Bluetooth device.  Or if you are using USB you can use the Microsoft Bluetooth stack.  Toshiba wrote thier own stack because Microsofts only supports USB.

  • How to identify the Oracle Edition ?

    Hai All,
    How to identify the oracle edition ( standard, enterprise etc...) running in a machine?
    Please help
    Shiju.

    Even if you have explicitly deselected the additional feature of the Enterprise Edition, If you have installed Oracle Enterprise Edition, then you have an Oracel Enterprise Edition Installed, and you must have a license to support your installation. There are several kinds of Edition, you may choose the one that best fits your needs.
    Oracle Enterprise Edition:
    Enterprise Edition is the full (top of the range) version or the Oracle Database Server. Options like RAC, Partitioning, Spatial, etc. can be purchased separately to enhance the functionality of the database.
    Oracle Standard Edition:
    Standard Edition is designed for smaller businesses and enterprises. It offers a subset of the features/ functionality implemented in Enterprise Edition. Database options like Data Guard, Partitioning, Spatial, etc. is not available with Standard Edition (from 10g one can use RAC with Standard Edition). Standard Edition can only be licensed on servers with a maximum capacity of four processors.
    Oracle Standard Edition One:
    Standard Edition One is a low cost, entry-level version of the Oracle Standard Edition database server. Standard Edition One can only be licensed on small servers with a maximum capacity of two processors.
    Oracle Personal Edition:
    Personal Oracle is a single user version of the database server. It is mostly the same as Enterprise Edition, but doesn't support advanced options like RAC, Streams, XMLDB, etc.
    Oracle Lite:
    Oracle Light is a database engine that can be used on mobile platforms like cell phones and PDA's.
    Oracle XE:
    Express Edition (XE) is a free, downloadable version of the Oracle database server. Oracle XE can only be used on single processor machines. It can only manage up to 4 GB of data and 1 GB of memory. ISVs can embed XE in 3rd party products and redistribute it freely.

  • How to identify missing records in a single-column table?

    How to identify missing records in a single-column table ?
    Column consists of numbers in a ordered manner but the some numbers are deleted from the table in random manner and need to identify those rows.

    Something like:
    WITH t AS (
               SELECT 1 ID FROM DUAL UNION ALL
               SELECT 2 ID FROM DUAL UNION ALL
               SELECT 3 ID FROM DUAL UNION ALL
               SELECT 5 ID FROM DUAL UNION ALL

               SELECT 10 ID FROM DUAL UNION ALL
               SELECT 11 ID FROM DUAL
    -- end of on-the-fly data sample
    SELECT  '[' || (id + 1) || ' - ' || (next_id - 1) || ']' gap
      FROM  (
             SELECT  id,
                     lead(id,1,id + 1) over(order by id) next_id

      where id != next_id - 1
    GAP
    [4 - 4]
    [6 - 7]
    [9 - 9]

    P.S. I assume sequence lower and upper limits are always present, otherwise query needs a little adjustment.

  • How to include a license header in fxml file?

    How to include a license header in fxml file?
    I tried xml block comments <!-- mylicense here -->
    but it wasn't accepted by screen builder.
    Also I wondered, even if it had been accepted, would screen builder have saved the header back - or deleted it?

    All XML documents should begin with an XML declaration.
    If you have your fxml file starting with  the following lines :
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!-- mylicense here -->
    .. it will be loaded in Scene Builder, and saved back as is.

  • How can identify the default currency for a customer?

    How can identify the default currency for a customer?
    I know that this is being determined when you create a sales order for a particular customer, for example, so I could break this process open and find out what it uses. But I thought it worth asking in this forum first.
    Blue

    Hi Gary,
    As per my understanding of your question I am replying , If you are looking some thing else then I request you to please elaborate your query.
    If you see the BP sales area data in transaction BP, In billing tab you maintain the currency for a customer which is default currency when you create a sales order.
