JCOM and BEA support and license issues

After going round and round with first tier support, I'd like to post this message
to the newsgroup to clarify how jCOM finds the license.bea file.
Here is an e-mail I sent to support...
The beahomelist file gets created in a bea directory in the user's home directory
($HOME/bea/beahomelist).
The problem is that the WebLogic server and the Jcom classes are looking for the
license in two different ways.
WLS uses the $BEA_HOME variable and jCOM uses the user.home System property (this
may or may not be $HOME).
Your were incorrect when you stated that the WebLogic server needs to runnning by
the user that installed the software. Any user can start the server and use the
jCom classes as long as jCom can find the license, this requires that the user wanting
to use jCOM have a bea directory and beahomelist file in the directory that the user.home
system property resolves to.
It would be much easier for jCOM users to have the server and jcom find the license
in the same manner.
You've been so helpful.

Rhel Versions and Licensing Issue

Post Author: Hexagram16
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi Guys,
As raised previously, this is to seek for assistance on how do we go about our local client licensing. We were about to simulate when we found out that subject is using Linux instead of Windows. This resulted us to requesting a new Media Kit from you which can be used for Linux. However, our client uses RHEL 5 yet the one we have is only RHEL 4. Since still incompatible, we decided to downgrade server from RHEL 5 to 4. Is BOBJ_Linux only supported RHEL4? no patchwork etc? another issue is upon some test simulation, BO license won't run as cross-platform (Windows to Linux).
For your opinions/recommendations
Thanks

Cisco PI 1.3 upgrade to PI 2.1 and licensing issues

Hi,
Currently we have installed Cisco PI 1.3 as virtual appliance with evaluation license which is expired. We are planning to upgrade to PI 2.1 but instead of upgrade we are planning to remove old virtual appliance and install new PI 2.1 virtual appliance as there were no licenses installed on old one and its evaluation license expired. But earlier we have purchased this licenses:
R-PI12-K9
Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2
R-PI12-BASE-K9
Prime Infrastructure 1.2 Base License and Software
L-PI12-LF-500
Prime Infrastructure 1.2 - Lifecycle - 500 Device Lic
L-PI12-CM-500
Prime Infrastructure 1.2 - Compliance - 500 Device Lic
L-LMS42-CM-500
Prime LMS 4.2 - Compliance - 500 Device Lic PAK
L-PI12-CM-500-LIC
Prime Infrastructure 1.2 - Compliance - 500 Device Lic PAK
L-PI12-LF-500-LIC
Prime Infrastructure 1.2 - Lifecycle - 500 Device Lic PAK
L-PILMS42-500
Prime Infrastructure LMS 4.2 - 500 Device Base Lic
Can I install new PI 2.1 and use that licenses on that PI 2.1 assuming that this licenses were purchased earlier and not used at all.

AFAIK , yes you can use them without any issue.
You may need to contact the License team with UID or VUID details to re-issue the License for the new HOST or server.
Thanks-

Where is the Forum for Multipoint Server and Licensing Issues?

I have installed MSDN release of Multipoint 2012 Standard in a VM for testing, and tried to use one of the assigned license codes from my MSDN subscription, and they are rejected by Multipoint server "Error, unable to validate the following codes..."

Blue screen and Licensing Issues

Just recently I have been unable to open any PDF files. At first an error message popped up stating the license had expired and I needed to remove and reinstll the programs. I haven't tried to remove them yet, since I don't know if I'll be charged again for Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard.
I tried the Adope Licensing Repair Tool and it went through all the motions, but now when I open a PDF file it either won't show on the screen or I get a "Blue Screen with words that are gone before I can read it, then the computer shuts down completely and restarts.
Any suggestions?

Adobe acrobat 9 pro installation/licensing issues

I installed my licensed copy of Acrobat 9 on a new Windows 7 system. Acrobat launched but would not open files and shuts down on attempt. Message is "Licensing for this product has stopped working" with subtext "You cannot use the product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help."
I doubt any of you have a solution, so I simply remark on what transpired as a warning and complaint:
1. I went to Adobe databse and found that a patch was provided to correct installations/licensing problems on windows 7. I downloaded it and installed per instructions. It did not resolve the problem.
2. I uninstalled/reinstalled several times. no resolution.
3. I called customer support and was outsourced to someone who knew little and first sent me to a kb article having to do with 'expired licensing' even though I clearly informed them that the message and the fact had nothing to do with expired licenses. They finally referred me to kb405970 on "Licensing has stopped working". I tried all of the applicable solutions (methods 1-6) and none of them worked. Now I will have to wait until tomorrow (though I had pressing work to do today) to contact support again. I fear I will get another outsourced tech who knows little and wastes more of my time. Such is Adobe's way of supporting paid and licensed product users.
I understand and sympathize with Adobe's wishes to protect its products from piracy. However, I expect and paid for a product which works on major and supported operating systems like windows 7. I also understand that if MS or Mac put out a new OS or version, it may require certain adjustments or updates on Adobe's part. What I do not understand (or have patience with) is that 1) Adobe failed to provide a patch that works; 2) that it then sends me to an outsourced customer service tech who didn't have the knowledge to correct the problem and gave me the wrong information to begin with*. What I finally got was the kb article with a series of multi-step instructions for several methods, none of which worked. This is an unprofessional and unethical response to those of us who have paid for our product and expect it to work under reasonable conditions in a supported environment. This is not an acceptable good-faith effort to resolve issues for which Adobe should take full responsibility.
If any of you do happen to have a real solution (or had a similar problem) do let me know....
*The first thing the outsourced tech wished to do was get onto my machine via a remote connection, before anything was tried other than giving them the error message and have them provide me with the wrong information. It became clear that this person had less knowledge than I do (which isn't saying much) and there was no way I was going to permit a clueless techie to crawl around in my machine and fiddle with settings. That is simply asking for trouble. I'm perfectly capable of opening panels and following instructions myself. DC should be the last thing tried; not the first.

Bill, I tried as you suggested - installed every update from 9.1 through 9.3.4. The 'license not working message persists'. The only change was that now Acrobat will not close and must be forced to shut down from the taskbar menu. I appreciate the suggestion though.
Called Adobe (Manila) again, within the hours given on their contact page for installation and licensing issues, and was told "It's Sunday, nobody here can help you". Finally, after an hour of hammering got them to get me a supervisor (their script says to tell the customer there "Is no supervisor available on Sunday" - Finally the "supervisor", Alvin, suggested I need a new serial number and left me on the line while he called someone else to get on. Cameback and informed me that he couldn't get one, I'd have to call Monday (how's that for having solutions?) Result: wasted more time and had more delay on my project.
Conclusion: Adobe has become obsessed and 'piranoic' about piracy and licensing to the extent that they put that first and client/customer needs second (if that). After reading a lot of online 'Adobe Sucks' forums, I'm inclined to believe Adobe is shooting itself in its own foot and is not going to be a reliable method of presentation/document transmission in the future - service and support is an integral part of software and other concerns such as piracy or licensing need to be transparent to legitimate users. Sad that they spend so much time on this, when they need to be fixing real problems. As well, these outsourcing Philipines companies are poor substitutes for good support - they are so scripted and obsessed with regulations over solutions that it is clear that only the most persistent users will get anywhere with them. As a frontline of contact with after-sale clients, they are going to cost Adobe a lot of potential business in the future, whatever their short-term savings. Too bad. Adobe used to be a leader in the market.
Next round: Calling Manila again this am. to be continued...

Organization licenses issue

I'd like to install Visual Studio 2013 Express editon on my work computer, which belongs to my company, in my Beijing office.
I noticed item 1.b in MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS which said I couldn't use it unless so called "person classroom training and education, or for performing academic research", because
I think my company is probably an enterprise which has 250+ PCs and more than one million annual revenues.
I just want to use it for my personal intention, like testing a samll C++ program which has nothing to do with my company's product, building a platform env for other script programs, writing code for studying, or something else similar.
Is there anybody knows if I could do it this way and if it is legal?
Thanks a lot.

Issue with CC 2014 applications asking me to login and license every time.

Hi,
Having an issue with Creative Cloud 2014 application asking me to sign in and license the software every time i open them, the sign in works fine and allows me to use the product so why does it constantly ask me to log in every time I open Photoshop, inDesign etc.
I have tried the following -
Removing the OOBE folder and reinstalling the CC app but still not luck happens in both the admin account and standard user account where it will ask you to license the software everytime.
Found this http://www.urbansouldesign.co.uk/web-tips/adobe-creative-cloud-asking-for-serial-number/ but when changes made unable to open the apps at all and tells me they need to be reinstalled.
Remove the user from teams and re invited but problem still there after that too.
Signed in on another machine fine and licensed the software with no problems.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
Thanks

REgarding licensing issues involvng 'Computername' and the use of UpperCase4 vs Lowercase Letters

Does any one know if it would cause problems for the Office 365 software license to be displayed as licensed to an ALL CAPS name like 'MY-FAVORITE-PC' but the computer itself shows the computer name to be 'my-favorite-pc"?
If it does, which one should I change? A couple of people here have had this same problem (which usually occurs when they change to using a different PC for their account) I have to Deactivate their Old PC namer and then install the licnse to
their New OC using whatever name it has.
On more than one system, this has resulted in various odd "failure to contact Microsoft server" issues when activating. The problem continues for 7 days and then their copy of Office starts showing reed warning bards and eventually gets totally
unusable.
However, if I uninstall the office, deactivate the license, and reinstall it once again, it install just fine and acts ok but invariably at some point, the same thing occurs.
On one of them I noticed the difference in the case of the letters used in the computer name and the license name. On others I am wondering about various software add ins for Outlook or some other 3rd part application causing the problem. Whatever
it is, it gets extremely annoying. Officer 365 apparently must run an activation sequence almost constantly while Office 2010 (and I presume 2013) ran it once and were done with it.
Searching Google I have found too many possible reasons along with a lot of people who have had the same problems but no one seems to have the 100% solution. This has only started happening since we switched to Office 365 and only
seems to occur on systems that are changed out to different ones with the same User's 365 Account which is in good standing and has 5 available licenses of which only one is in use.
In the case of the caps vs lowercase I also wonder if changing the name to CAPS on their PC would create additional problems on its own?

Hi Questorfla,
For the Office 365 software license issue, I recommend you can post in dedicated Office 365 Forum to get a better response:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/148.aspx
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Multi-Lang support and slides issue

First, is anyone here using slides-based Flash documents at
all? Whenever I post my (IMHO well-researched) questions/reports,
like the one linked to below, I never get an answer. By now I'm
ready to give up completely on slide-based documents and ready to
convert it all to "flat" Flash docs, but I'm just curious why the
numerous horrible bugs in slides get no response, did everyone else
but me know not to use them???
(older problem, actually more a report because there is no
solution, it's clearly a bug IMHO:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15&catid=288&threadid =1255720&enterthread=y)
Anyway, I found a new issue, which, like last time, I first
successfully and easily recreated using a fresh (slide-based)
document to make sure my AS code isn't interferring.
Doing the same experiment with bot a "normal" Flash document
and with a slide-based one, I created a dynamic text field and
followed (Macromedia/Adobe) instructions to setup multi-language
support (en,de) for the text field, using the Strings dialogue.
It all worked as it should in the regular Flash doc, but
nothing worked in the slide-based one. Right now I'm trying to see
if I can still get it to work using the Locale class and AS code,
but that doesn't seem to work either.
Again, by now I've pretty much decided to abandon slide-based
layout because of the bugs and the non-existing feedback, I'm only
curious if I was the only one who ever even tried slides...(?)

this should work. One thing to keep in mind is that Swing components have fonts set on them, so if the font you are using doesn't contain the characters, then you get garbage sometimes (I see this with japanese characters when they pump into an app I'm currently writing, even though I know I got the right character codes out of the email).
Try base64 encoding the content before it is sent and save it (the base64) to a text file (Don't send the base64 text, send the actual content). Then base64 encode the content when it is recieved and compare it to the stored file (without the whole displaying thing). If they match, your issue isn't javamail, it is probably swing, or you aren't setting the character encodings correctly. If they don't match, javamail.
Just taking bets I would say the two will match and your issue is simply the swing font thing.

T440S to T440s - program and data transfer, OS licensing issue

Hi,
Obviously not able to open these critters up. I have a new T440s that I would like to transfer my programs and data to. Is there a program out there that can do this without having to pull out the hard drive to image?
My current one has Windows 8.1. The new one has Windows 7 with the Windows 8.1 recovery discs. Issue is, I believe that the Windows license is tied to the hardware? Therefore I would have to make a recovery disc set of Windows 7.....then use the Windows 8.1 recovery discs then move my programs and data over.
Windows Easy Transfer does not look like it can do the best job.
I thought about bringing it to the store for them to swap the drives but then worried alot about the whole licensing issue. (not to mention the possible loss of my warranty) Unless if it is done professional and the license could be stripped out of the existing drive and new drive moved to new machine....perhaps a way to get the license keys from the new system somehow.
Thanks in advance.

Hello.
If you look at the bottom of the machines, and they both have the Windows 8 sticker, your machines are licenced and the product key is embedded in the BIOS.
You can use this program: ProduKey to view and write down your keys, but if you use either the Recovery disks or a WIndows 8 Pro retail DVD to reinstall Windows, your key will be picked up automatically by the installation.
For migration of your files, programs and settings, you could simply clone your current WIndows 8.1 installation onto the new drive using, assuming your installation is UEFI and thus your HD is GPT partitioned, Macrium Reflect, which many users here have had a good experience with. That would save you time from having to reinstall Windows on the new machine as well and all you'd have to do is to enter the embedded Windows key of your new machine to activate it.
Macrium Reflect
That's at least one suggestion, but there are many ways to go about this.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

Licensing issue by using Applications AC and PC

Hi,
The SAP GRC 10.0 solution comes as bundled solution for AC, PC and RM. While downloading the SAP GRC 10.0 all the three components are downloaded but in a dormant state.
With the release of GRC 10.0, Access Control and Process Control are offered as an integrated solution, both at the data layer and at the user interface layer. This new unified platform enables increased harmonization of key master data.
GRC 10.0 is a harmonized platform. Although maintenance of data within AC and PC is similar in 10.0 as it was in previous releases, there are some key differences. The following master data is shared between AC and PC for the release 10.0 integration scenario.
u2022 Organizations
u2022 Business Processes
u2022 Business Subprocesses
u2022 Controls
SAP GRC System Add-ons:
Access Control, Process Control and Risk Management are contained in one ABAP add-on u201CGRCFND_Au201D
SAP Backend System Plug-ins:
A. GRCPINW: NW Function Modules hold the AC functions for ERP systems without HR (former non-HR RTA)
B. GRCPIERP: PC relevant features are contained in the plug-in GRCPIERP, for example, for running automated controls and the HR relevant functions for AC (former HR RTA)
There are multiple activation points for AC, PC and RM:
u2022 SAP GRC SPRO -> activate the Application. However
u2022 When we go for the Plug-ins (GRCPIERP) installation in backend systems with HR function module it also brings in the PC relevant features.
u2022 Mitigating Control definition based on Organizations
I had activated the Application AC and PC for some time assuming that PC is required to create the Mitigation Control and Organizations. However I just realized that Mitigating Control and Organization can be created even without Activating PC, which does nothing but removes the additional features of PC.
My Query:
u2022 Kindly let me know if I can still use PC to create and assign Mitigating Control as a shared resource for AC and PC or I have violated Licensing issue by using Applications AC and PC when I am supposed to use just Access Control.
u2022 How is shared resources in SAP GRC 10 dealt in terms of Licensing of Applications in SAP GRC 10.
Thanking you in advance.

all the new pc's we've purchased for a time now, don't have a Win7 CoA product key attached, even though they come with Win7 downgrade rights, so your strategy to use the CoA pkeys for the Win7 install on the new machines might be flawed.
We don't buy HP, and I'm in Australia, so I'm not sure if this will be the same for you.
Also, the OEM image that you would use to re-deploy/re-image with, may need to be different for varying models (OEMs might include different drivers, or other checks or blockers, in their image and OOBE scripts), and, the embedded OEM "master" product key/certificate
could vary (or not align) across model types/generations.
Ours do have the SLIC table in firmware and the OA markers, and we use VL Win7 Enterprise anyway, so our 40,000 machine fleet means VL and Software Assurance as a part of our EA + Select is an (expensive) no-brainer really.
The other thought I have for you, is the re-imaging rights that are bestowed when you have a VL agreement (and therefore, are not bestowed if you don't have one). Because we do have a VL agreement, I've never dived into how it might be worked if we didn't
have VL.
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/briefs/reimaging.aspx
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/briefs/downgrade-rights.aspx
If you do look at a VL agreement, I'm told they start from as few as 5 machines. And, if you purchase new pc's, you have the option to enrol the new pc's into Software
Assurance within 90days of purchase, which I imagine would save you some cost, compared to attaching SA to them at a later time, presumably requiring you to pay full ticket price for that.
I'd recommend you get some advice from an MS reseller, even if only to work out what the various options/costs might be.

HT4623 I updated to iOS 6.1, now the mail application will not load. My settings for each email account are still in there, I have synched several times, and rebooted several times. Sill nothing. Why is there no support for upgrade issues ??

I refuse to pay for support for an issue caused by an upgrade. That is just ridiculous.

I'm having the exact same problem. When I select an email the mail application pauses for a couple seconds, the screen goes black and then I go to the home screen. Have you found anything more on this issue? Didn't have this problem before upgrading to 6.1.
