I dont need CC - only Ps for small business

How to order only Ps for small business - 3 lisences?
Would be nice to administer them from a team account, not buy 3 different lisences.

You'll need to call Adobe. We fellow users only see what you see on Adobe's web site.
Keep in mind that if you don't subscribe, you will NOT be able to get the latest software. You can only buy a perpetual license for Photoshop CS6, which is growing more out of date each day. There are actually substantial improvements in Photoshop CC - things like high quality true deconvolution in Smart Sharpen, detail-preserving upsampling, image straightening features in Camera Raw, new smart object features, greater use of the GPU to speed things up, etc.

Need software to keep track of clients for small business.

We need some way to keep up with multiple types of payments for several hundred clients, as well as the ability to make notes as needed. We have been using ical for our notes and a simple Numbers spreadsheet, but this method is cumbersome. I have looked at various accounting programs, but they all seem much more complicated than I need. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I ran a small business, and there is no way I would have done it with iCal and Numbers. Intuit's Quickbooks is the best program for small business. Yes, it's probably got more than you need, but it helps pay bills, taxes, inventory, blah blah blah. It's only $200. They have an online version. It links to your bank. It links to tax software. I can go on. I used the enterprise version, and I'm not an accounting, and I found it a piece of cake to learn.
Since this is the forum for the Macbook Pro, you're really not going to find much info here. Go to the Intuit Quickbooks website, and do a test run. Trust me, if you want to make a profit and pay bills on time, get a real program. Quickbooks is one of the cheapest but still the best out there.

What does "Personal Use Only" for small business owners mean?

For small businesses or Sole-Proprietors, computers they use for business are also the machines being used for personal use. If I understand the new Mac App Store license correctly, you cannot ethically purchase an app on the App Store that will be used for business use. If that is the case, the greatest oxymoron is that they have a "Business" section in the App Store.
I truly LOVE how easy the App Store makes managing one's apps, but if I have to now deal with seperating all purchases based on it's overall use, they have just complicated the small business scene for small business owners.
I fully understand them wanting to discourage a large business from purchasing, for example, Aperture, once and installing it on 100+ machines. But if that is what they're trying to avoid, why not be more specific in the terms of the updated App Store license info. Instead, they are shooting down any and all use of anything purchased in the App Store for business.
Any other small business owners facing the same situation?

Here is a clause from the Terms and Conditions, which can be found at http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#APPS
*Begin quote*
(ii) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download a Mac App Store Product for use either (a) by a single individual on each of the Mac Product(s) that you own or control, or (b) by multiple individuals on a single shared Mac Product that you own or control. For example, a single employee may use a Mac App Store Product on both the employee’s desktop Mac Product and laptop Mac Product, or multiple students may serially use the Product on a single Mac Product located at a resource center or library.
*End quote*
It seems that as long as you abide by these guidelines, you can use App Store apps for business.

Can I use acrobat pro 7.0 for small business company?

Hi,
We want to use acrobat pro 7.0 at our company. The link is https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?pid=2026489&e=cs2_downloads where I downloaded.
I read license term for this. I've not found license policy for small business company. Is this product free for any persons?
Please reply for me.
Thank you!
-Matthew-

you're welcome, but no, acrobat 7 cannot legally be used by non-licensed users for any length of time.
and while there are non-current adobe trial versions available back to certain versions, for acrobat, version 8 is the oldest trial version available. so, you can legally download and use (for 30 days) unlicensed acrobat versions, 8, 9, X and the current version XI.
the acrobat pro 7 that adobe is making available is only legal to use by licensed acrobat 7 owners. it is not legal to use for 30 days, or any other duration (limited or not), for non-licensed users.

What database do apple recommend for small business?

what database do apple recommend for small business?

The only real choice is FileMaker Pro unless you are a programmer. There are other databases but they are either very light weight or something a programmer would be required to set up.

Should I buy CC for small business or for an individual? I am a freelance graphic designer.

I am a graphic design but I work on my own. I just purchased CC for small business but now suddenly wonder if I should have purchased for an individual as I have no team.

Hi Aridne,
You can follow the discussion: Creative cloud team vs individual membership where the difference between both the plans are clearly mentioned.
You can choose the one which suits your needs the best.
Let us know if you still have any queries regarding the same.

Error when installing Lenovo solutions for small business [Screenie included]

Hello everyone.
Recently, I tried opening the pre-installed Lenovo solutions for Small Business software on my Lenovo e530 running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit version (Upgraded from Win 7 Home Prem 64-bit) but failed after getting a message for encountering a critical problem of some sort. I then tried restarting my computer and that did not solve the problem. And then, I decided to install an upgrade version of it from this website http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS030146. But before that I uninstalled the previous version by uninstalling Intel Small Business advantage customizations with Revo Uninstaller and I deleted all the related folders too with a thorough scan. Out of my expection, I got this message below saying that I could not proceed due to some unspecified error. Has anyone encountered the same problem before? Does anyone have a solution for this? I'm not sure if that's my computer's problem or from the driver itself. Thank you for your attention to this issue.

Hi, dougy
This should be configurable under msconfig. This is a program that you can use to tell your computer which programs you want to start when Windows starts. To get to this program, type msconfig into the search bar in the Start menu. A window should appear. Check under the Startup tab and make sure that the Lenovo Solutions for Small Business program does not have a checkmark next to it. This should prevent this program from starting up when your computer turns on.
Hope it helps,
Adam

Router for small business Internet connection

One of our clients recently switched ISPs to Speakeasy who installed a Hatteras HN 407 bridge. We have had Internet connectivity problems using their SonicWall 3060 firewall, and we experienced similar problems when attempting to use a newer Sonicwall TZ180. We temporarily installed a Linksys W54GT router, which has been working perfectly; however, we would like to have a more robust router for their 25 user network - additional security options, performance, VPN, two WAN connections, etc. Can you recommend a small business router with 2 WAN connections? This customer has a business ethernet 3Mbps (up and down) Internet connection, uses an online medical scheduling program, normally has 10 - 20 uses using the Internet connection and will be installing a backup DSL line that we would like to use for load balancing.

Our recommendation for Dual WAN would be RV082 This would be the prefect VPN router for small Business and if you are looking for more ports on the Ethernet, then we would recommend the RV016

Twist/S230u bug: cannot start Lenovo Solutions for Small Business after installing updates

An issue may happen after running ThinkVantage System Update and selecting all available updates. After rebooting, Lenovo Solutions for Small Business will fail to launch. This issue happens because of a failure during one of the updates.
To fix the issue, download and install the Intel MEI driver. Although this software is already installed on your system, it is in a broken state. Installing it again will fix it, and let Lenovo Solutions for Small Business run successfully.

How can I purchase an unlimited license for CS6 for small business use?

How can I purchase an unlimited license for CS6 for use by a small business? We need to be able to use CS6 tools on at least 6 different computers, both macs and PCs.
Do I have to purchase CS6 from another individual or business and transfer the license or is it still somehow available through Adobe? How can I determine how many users are allowed and the price of the product? Do I have to purchase the entire Creative Suite, or can I just purchase an unlimited license for Photoshop 6 only?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You should contact Adobe support to get information on licensing mutliple machines.

Setup a Mac mini server for small business

Im trying to come up with a solution for a families small business.
theres two of them that operate it out of their home and need something central to access all the company data and documents.
one travels and one stays back, so the one traveling all they do is forward an email and thats the current documentation they have is in email, no database or file archiving.
we also want to get their old files and documents scanned in and accessible too, instead of digging through boxes of stuff.
they also would like remote access while on the road to access their data, i presume they may use macbooks and possibly iOS devices.
I was thinking a mac mini, and an airport/time capsule for backup purposes and remote accessibility.
any suggestions on file management and remote access?
thank you!

Thanks for those suggestions.
They need file sharing on the road, away from the home office. I think I understand the concept, but aside from my own personal set-up of OS X server and back to my mac type things, its not really business-y in my opinion to offer them.
Unless they believe it will good enough.
So how would i set-up dyDNS? i have a test system i can work with if there are steps you'd recommend?
I just want to offer them a way to access their documents while traveling to sites through the Apple ecosystem.
BackBlaze, i hear about this, my only concern is if this company disappears then what? yknow. Crash plan is a nice alternative, but I'm looking for inside the Apple box methods here if possible.
i really appreciate the ideas.

IP PBX for small business

Hi guys,
I plan to install a new in-house PBX, but I'm not secure in my knowledge, so I need some confirmation. I've done some research and I feel an IP PBX would be my primary choice.
I run a small trade company that needs 12 telephones (including hardphones and mobile devices as well). We use them for both of internal and external communication.
In addtition to the basic PBX features (as well as call routing, conference calling, voicemail, call queuing, etc.) I have some special requirements related to the new phone system:
- I have only one office, but my employees (especially the sales representatives) are often out-of the office. That's why mobile phones are essentially needed for us. So I'd like to attach mobile devices to our PBX as well.
- Concerning that my target audience consists of mainly young people (they are mostly 26-35 years old), I'd like to facilitate them to contact us by using any innovative, free, Internet-based communication method. So a chat console and/or a click-to-call
webphone would be also appreciated.
After checking the possible solutions at Alternativeto.net, I've tried some trial versions and finally it seems that Ozeki Phone systems suits best for my needs.
Can anybody tell me if this is a good option for my requirements? Is there any other option I should look at? Because I'm always searching for the best, I tend to be a little (that is very) insecure, so I'd like to hear other people's opinion about the issue.
A little review of it will be a great help for me! (Is it stable, trustworthy, etc...?)
I’m looking forward to your opinion here or even in e-mail ([email protected])! Thanks a lot in advance!
Regards,
Justin

Hi Justin,
This is the Lync forum and I think your question is generic in that you are wanting to know what sort of phone system would suit a small business with 12 or so users.
I mean you could certainly look at Lync and you would get all the features that you outline, however this may be impeded by the cost of Lync and associated hardware. (something you'd need to look into as I am not sure what the cost of the other systems you've
looked at is)
Depending on your time constraints, cloud PSTN access for Lync Online / Office 365 is on the roadmap for the near future and this would certainly be a viable option for your customer.

Anyone know about the Novell Open Workgroup Suite for Small Business

http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/19813.html

Tim,
Yes Novell needs more commitment and win back the hearts of old Novell
supporters
like yourself and me included.
Unfortunatly, I can't see anyone from Novell let alone a VP or his boss
although I think
this would be a very good sign.
Even if a cleaner at Novell calls you its something!!!
Please post if you get a call!!!
Personally - I can live without Bordermanager, NSS and Zenworks
Netware is gone - there really is NO life left as there is no 64bit.
Lets move on and Linux is the way but lets not forget Windows & AD now rules
the world.
The new NOWS product looks good. Still a few rough edges but like you said
shows the product
had been moth balled for 18 months - still its an alternative to MS SBS.
Novell Small Business discussion group with ACTIVE support from Novell
employees much
like the MS forums would be nice.
Direct Support call costs need to come down.
Novell needs MORE distributors and offer a OEM deal for system builders
Novell need to court partners - otherwise its a dead duck
MS asks users for feedback - there was one last week on "Competition" in the
MS SBS forum.
In the UK - everything Novell does is based in Bracknell - they need to get
out and about in the country
and offer dealers FREE "Intro Training" so they are comfortable selling

What precise requirements must certificates meet for small business router?

I have just purchased a RV180W small business VPN router and successfully
set it up as a router and site-to-site VPN gateway.
Very pleased with progress thus far I then attempted to export and self-sign a
certificate request carefully following steps in the administration guide.
On uploading the certificate produced (by Windows (8) makecert.exe) the
message "No trusted certificate found. Can't upload self certificate." is displayed.
I had no success despite numerous repetitions with several alternative settings
in the CSR.
Brevity of the instructions suggest it should be straightforward and flexible
enough to meet a wide range of certificate formats. There is no reference to
any specification.
Clearly this is not the case! Hence my question: What requirements must a
certificate (file) meet if it is to be successfully uploaded to a Cisco Small
Business Router?
Can I restate an appeal I make to every hardware and software producer I
have the misfortune of having to deal with: Please do not publish instructions
and guides that merely state the blindlingly obvious (e.g. Enter your name
in the box labeled name) and omit all details that actually are important
and relevant (e.g. Make sure that the name you enter is the same as that you
entered as the device owner or any other condition required by the software
that the user cannot be aware of and prevent something from working if not
met)!

Exertive Systems

Common features required would be single or dual WAN, VLAN support (at least 4),
With a minimum of 4 VLANs, the 860 is out of the question as this model can support only 2 VLANs. The 880 can support up to 8 VLANs. Now both the 860 and the 880 has a 4-port, FastEthernet, layer-2 switch. The 890 can support up to 12 VLANs and have an 8-port, FastEthernet, layer-2 switch at the back.
Now all the models mentioned, 860, 880 and 890, can support PoE. The 860, 880 and 890, can support 4-ports of PoE.
I've two vital questions for you. They are:
1. Are you planning to integrate your wireless with your router?
2. What is your bandwidth?
If you plan to integrate a wireless access point with your router, you need to be mighty careful with this. The reason is because of the potential location of the router in the premises. Most of the time, the router is located in the far corner of a property and inside a metal box/cabinet. For starters, the location is far (to very far) from the clients so the wireless signal is propagating to no one. Next, if it's inside a box or a cabinet the metal shell of the cabinet can disrupt the way wireless propagates.
This is the reason why I mentioned the PoE option. If the location is similar to what I've described, then it's better to get a router AND WAPs separate. This way you can move the WAP to wherever your clients might be.
Next is your bandwidth. What router to buy depends on what bandwidth you've got.
