How to run the same license on two computers?

Hello,
I have searched around a bit for answers to my questions without luck so far.
I have used Adobe Lightroom 3 & 4 on my computer for years. Now I have purchased a laptop computer as well. I am the only user of both computers. As I understand the end user license agreement, I am allowed to use the same license on both of my computers.
Is this straightforward? Do I just install LightRoom 4 with the serial number from the purchase? LR4 was an upgrade from LR3. Do I need to install LR3 first, or just use both serial numbers?
I will also like to upgrade my standalone computer from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I have actualle tried the upgrade process, and was told it failed, and that I need to do a complete (fresh) installation of Windows 8 (after formatting the computers disk).
Will I be able to do this? My preferred "end result" is running LR4 on both computers with Windows 8, although a fresh installation of Windows 8 on the standalone computer.
I am also considering purchasing Adobe Acrobat. Will I be able to run that as well on both computers?
What if I replace the standalone with a new computer one day - will I be able to move the license from the "old" one?
I would appreciate an answer to this post.
Best Regards,
Svein A. Martinsen

As you already indicated your awareness, you are allowed to install and activate Adobe software on two machines. You should only need to install and then activate. If you have the discs, then go that way. I f you do not have discs, download the version(s) and use your serial number from your original purchase to activate.
As far as changing from Windows 7 to Windows 8 goes, that's generally beyond the calling of folks here. I personally would not upgrade an OS, having done it once in the past and regretting it every day after that - I now prefer to live with what came with the machine. You might find older software is not compatible with Windows 8 and there is nothing anyone here can do to change that.

I can use the same account on two computers?

You can use the same serial number on two computers, given the conditions in the end-user license agreement (You cannot have Lightroom using the same serial number in use on two computers at the same time, and both installations must be for your own personal use.)

How to run the same report at report runtime?

i have this report that is automatically run when choosing the icon at reports runtime.

i need help on this! thanks

What
about still running ONE report, but every supplier starting on a new page? Is that more realistic? So supplier will not be a parameter any more, but just something that creates a new page on the report?
Yes thats a much better option. Its very easy to generate such a report in SSRS. You dont need a parameter
in that case but just needs to add Supplier as a grouping field in the tablix. Then add other columns and groups if required. Select option set page break after each instance of the group for first grouping (ie based on supplier field). Then report will render
with one page per supplier. On exporting to excel also each supplier data goes to a different tab

How to run the same procedure in parallel for different parameter value.

Hi There,
I am currently working on extracting data in to flat file and I am able to do so for one revenue month (e.g. 200101) using PL/SQL procedure(get_rev_data). it takes almost 1 hour to execute the procedure completely and it generates 400 MB data file. Now I have to run this procedure for last 10 yrs of data (i.e. 120 revenue months) . my prolem here is to figure out a way/logic in such a way that I can run the procedure in parallel for each revenue month and at the same time it will write the data in respective data file for each revenue month. so the final result of this exercise would be 120 flat files, one for each revenue month with file names like
EXTRACT_00001001 to EXTRACT_00001120.
where
first five digits : 00001 will indicate the Extract run number and
last three digits : 001 will indicate the thread number for each run.
I am thinking of doing this by creating a table "RevMonth" with two values (revenue_month, thread_num) and calling the procedure in a simple select statement and passing revenue_month as parameter of the procedure like
SELECT get_rev_data(revenue_month, thread_num)
FROM REVMONTH;
But I am not sure if that will do the needful. Any idea on how to achieve this will be of great help. Thank you.

Hi Smit,
Thanks for the advise. I am not planning to run for all 120 months at once. actually I am planning to run like 1 year (12 revenue months at a time). I am not sure if that will work well but I was planning to run this through shell script (Unix) and will call the same procedure with different parameter (revenue_month and Thread_number) values and see what happens. I hope that will run in parallel for each revenue month.
Let me know if you have more knowledge about it. THanks a lot.
Thanks,
.

How do I sync the same library between two computers?

I have an iMac and a Macbook Air, and I am constantly buying music betwen the two computers, and my iPhone. I want to be able to sync up my iPhone on both computers, but it keeps telling me I have to resync my entire phone, which is just crazy. How can I sync up itunes? I have .mac to sync my contacts, mail, etc.

Constantly? The MacBook Air is brand new.
Even if you sync iTunes between two computers With something like this -> syncOtunes, you will still get this message if you sync to the other computer. The libraries may be have the same music but they are not the same library.

I'm not sure does I understand your requirement good?
But if so:
You have 2 computers and from both you want to access one single Oracle database.
If this correct then you need only on one machine to install XE Server and on another machine ONLY XE Client.
After that you need to copy tnsnames.ora file from computer where XE server resides to according directory where XE client resides.

In OS X Mavericks, can I run the same application across two monitors?

I'm an artist. I use programs like Photoshop across my iMac screen to my Wacom Cintiq screen all the time. It's vital for my workflow to have the same application running on both monitors. Art on the screen I draw on, menus, reference and what not on the monitor. Basically an extended desktop. I read in a few reviews when Mavericks was first released that Apple removed the extended desktop from the standard dual monitor set up. The only information I can find on this subject has to do with Airplay, which doesn't fit my situation at all. Before I upgrade to Mavericks, I need to know I'm not going to be crippling my workflow. There are a lot of features that I was looking forward to in Mavericks that could help me out a lot, but the big removal of my most used feature has kept me away for months. Any help I can get would be welcome. I appreciate it.

I run dual 21.5" monitors and Extended Desktop Mode works fine in Mavericks.
I don't use Photoshop, but Pixelmator and other App's with independent toolbars work great in both Windowed and Full Screen Modes.

How to send the same message to two SMTP servers

hi,
I need to send a message to two different SMTP servers.
I want to avoid the creation of new MimeMessage with a new Session.
the only way I've found was to keep a reference to the Properties instance that was used in the Session creation, and modify its "mail.smtp.host" property.
Is there another way? I must be missing something.
thanks,
ofer

hi,
I've already found the solution, so I'll post it here.
first I'll explain the purpose:
I needed to send the same message to a normal email server, and (for some of the recipients) to a special SMTP server that is on a different machine.
the following code demonstrate the solution.
thanks for your help.
ofer
----------code---------------
public class MultipleSendTest {
private final static Session server1 = createSession("somesmtp_server.com");
private final static Session _server2 = createSession("another_smtp_server.com");
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
//create the message
MimeMessage m = new MimeMessage(_server1);
m.setText("body text");
m.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, "[email protected]");
m.setFrom(new InternetAddress("[email protected]"));
//send
send(m, _server1);
send(m, _server2);
private static void send(MimeMessage message, Session session) {
//for logging only
String host = session.getProperty("mail.smtp.host");
try {
Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
transport.connect();
transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
System.out.println("sent to " + host);
transport.close();
} catch (MessagingException e) {
System.out.println("failed to send to " + host);
private static Session createSession(String host) {
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", host);
return Session.getInstance(properties);

How to run the same SSRS report multiple times, each time with a different parameter value?

Hi,
I have an SSRS report that produces a list of invoices for a single supplier (so supplier is a parameter specified at runtime). The report is based on a stored procedure in SQL. I would like to make things easier and instead of going through all suppliers
one by one, I want to have a single action, which produces separate reports, per supplier, for all suppliers that have an outstanding invoice (so not all suppliers on the system as a whole but all suppliers that are within the result set of the stored procedure).
I assume this would mean first executing the stored procedure to find all suppliers that have invoices at the time. And then running the report multiple times, once for each supplier, where the supplier value is used as the parameter every time. ideally
this would open separate webpages with a single report per page. (I am creating a button in another software, which is simply launching iexplore.exe and passing a
fixed SSRS report URL).
What would be required? I have SQL 2012 and I am building this in Report Builder 3.0.
Thank you!
Dimitar
P.S. What about still running ONE report, but every supplier starting on a new page? Is that more realistic? So supplier will not be a parameter any more, but just something that creates a new page on the report?

Can I have the same library on two computers?

I would like to run iTunes off two computers..work and home with my same library. Can I? How?
Thank you much

I have seen the same info in a few different threads, but I'm still confused. My daughter has ITunes on an older computer, and wants to back up all the info for a new computer. I have ITunes on my computer, and tried to save her files on a flash drive (1 GB) and here's what happened: When I save either or both the .xml or .itl files, and tried to import them to my itunes, I got folders but no songs. When I saved the ITunes Music folder, that gave me the songs, but its more than 1 GB, so I guess I need more flash drives. [However, I was able to import a song that had been downloaded from a CD onto my daughter's computer while the drive was in place on my computer, but when the drive was gone, so was the song......is that always the case?] Do I need to copy the entire ITunes folder (including the .xml, .itl and Music) to the flash drive, and then copy that to the hard drive on the new computer? Help!

Can I have the same itunes on two computers?

I want to have the same info on one computer, mine as i do on my husbands. He doesn't use itunes & sometimes we only take one computer with us. I would like for them to be able to sync together with mine & his laptops.

Welcome to AD!
Yes, you can do this. It takes a little setting up. Here is a CNET video that I thnk explains it very well:

Syncing the same library from two computers

If I have both computers with the same music for each library, can I somehow sync from both of them?

As Katrina says the iPod family is designed to sync with a single library. I clone my library to a portable drive using SyncToy 2.0, a free tool from MS. I run this both at home & work so that I essentially have three identical copies of my library for backup redundacy, any of which I can use to update my iPods. I use iTunes Folder Watch occasionaly in case I've managed to download, for example, a podcast at one location but overwrite the library with a newer copy updated at the other. It can be done but you need to take considerable care...

How to have the library updated between two computers?

I have two computers. One is running Windows XP(always on) with iTunes and the whole library in it. I share this iTune library wirelessly so that my MacBook Pro can access it. The problem is - whenever I update my library from one of this computers, it's not updated while accessing from another. Is there a script or something to help me with this problem?
Thanks.

Almost perfect, except that this method limits me to have one iTune runnning at a time. My Windows XP's iTune is always on, always running, serving as a streaming source for my Apple TV. My MacBook Pro shares its iTune Library and uses with Airport Express in another room. I almost never do anything on my Windows PC, so I'd like to manage all the stuff from MBP.
