LDAP sdk license question

I am writing a commercial application using using an LDAP server to store and read data. I plan to use the SUN LDAP sdk to implement the LDAP functions of my software. Can I use it freely or do I have to buy a license in order to redistribute the SUN LDAP Library with my application ?

I am also confused. It would seem to imply that every non-AIR application is not legal. How does this work?

Flex 4 SDK - License question

I want to use the SDK just for compilation (for development, we’ll use Flash Builder). There’s something in the license text (http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/pdfs/adobe_flex_software_development_kit_combined_2010 0101_1530.pdf) that surprises me: “3.3.4 Prohibited Use. Except as expressly authorized under this Agreement, you are prohibited from: … (g) creating or distributing any Developer Program that runs without installation”.
This seems to imply it’s not allowed to use the SDK to generate a .SWF file for direct use by a (but only to deploy it as part of a “next, next, …, finish” installation program). Sounds a bit strange.
Please advice!

I am also confused. It would seem to imply that every non-AIR application is not legal. How does this work?

Acrobat SDK License Agreement Question

The following is a section of the latest Acrobat SDK License Agreement from the Adobe website:
"3.2 Development Restrictions. You agree that You will not Use the Software to create, develop or use any program, software or service which . . . (b) can both (i) communicate with Adobe Reader Products and (ii) modify or save a PDF (Portable Document Format) document (including saving any modifications to a separate file for such documents);"
Does this mean that I am NOT allowed to develop a program that both:
Interfaces with Adobe Reader/Acrobat via the Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing purposes and
Builds and modifies PDF's using third party component(s)?
If the answer to the previous question is "YES", that means I can only use the Acrobat SDK in a program that is limited to PDF viewing and printing as far as PDF issues are concerned. That would be very restrictive for a real world application that involves PDF's, especially when I am supposed to "add significant and primary functionality" as the license aggreement also states.

How do I go about contacting "Adobe Legal"?
Also, just to clarify our discussion on some subtle but important points . . .
I understand that Adobe Reader is just that, a read-only application. And, I understand that the Adobe solution for modifying PDF's is Adobe Acrobat. I have components from 3rd parties that let me programatically modify PDF's. So, from a strictly programming tools point of view, I don't need Acrobat to modify PDF's in my application. The 3rd party components handle the PDF modification tasks. I'm not trying to use the Acrobat SDK to modify PDF's, but rather only to view PDF's.
So, when you say:
"You can NOT use Reader to view PDF documents as part of a software solution that also modifies the PDF using some other technology"
Do you mean:
It is your understanding that using the Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing and 3rd party components for PDF modification in the same application constitutes a violation of the Acrobat SDK License Agreement?
And when you say:
"Acrobat, however, does not have this limitation"
Do you mean:
Adobe requires licensed Acrobat to be used for PDF modification in any application that uses Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing? (In other words, PDF modification is where Adobe wants to make a profit.)
Thanks for your input.

Reader/Acrobat SDK Licensing Query

I am developing an application in C# and this application will display the PDF document on a form. I have 3 questions as follows.
Question one : I am currently using the axAcroPDF which is exposed in the free Acrobat Reader. Now, if I deploy my application to my client, do I have to have them purchase any license from Adobe for the Reader or for using the Reader .NET classes?
Question two: Since the Reader SDK is quite limited, I am thinking of using some of the Acrobat SDK classes in my application. In this case, how does the license works - do I have my client by an Adobe Acrobat Std or Pro for each PC where my application runs? Does this mean that each copy of Acrobat comes with 1 license for SDK, or can I buy 1 Acrobat and separate licenses for the SDK, or can I just buy the SDK separately.
Question three : Is the PDF Library SDK license also tied to Acrobat Std or Pro?
Kindly enlighten on this because I called my local retailers and they are not sure about this also. And I tried to look into the forums and I do get a vague idea but want your confirmation before I inform my client on what to buy.
Thank you.
John

Hello, I have managed to find a relevant posting which answers my questions by Patrick Leckey.
Link is http://forums.adobe.com/message/1908336#1908336
In short, for using Acrobat Reader API in your applications there is no license to buy. But to use the Acrobat SDK, need to buy the Acrobat Std or Pro depending on which API calls the developer is using. And for PDL Library SDK, have to work with a partner of Adobe for licensing.
I have spent several days reading the EULAS and searching the NET and even talking to people, but could not get a clear answer, but this link cleared it all up. This is the first time I am working with Acrobat for development, as other softwares license their SDK separately, unlike Adobe. So this is something new for me.
Thanks to Patrick Leckey for his excellent answer!
Cheers!
John

SDK license

After building the open source SDK one ends up with a file named "SDK license.pdf". This file getra extracted from the AIR Integration Kit. Now my question is: Your source code is released under MPL -- but that license says that one is not allowed to modify "Build Tools" like the ASC and it is also not allowed to distribute those tools.
Is this a mistake and does that license file apply only for the AIR Integration Kit or is it true that changing and distributing the compiler breaks the open source SDK license agreement?
Best,
Joa

Joa - Sorry for the late reply, it was the Memorial Day Holiday here in the States. If you're building the open source Flex SDK, you shouldn't be getting this file I believe. The file you reference is for the AIR SDK, and the open source license for the open source Flex SDK is spelled out here: http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Legal+Stuff.
I'm checking with the team to see if this might be a build.xml bug.

OPSS API licensing question

Hi product managers,
Is there a licensing restriction on use of OPSS API's with ADF essentials ? Will this API be included in the future ADF essentials build ? Will there be a separate licensing cost for this API in this case one might use the Apache LDAP API's.
I have seen the OPSS FAQ whitepaper but it said that post 11gr1 release they might offer it separately but the document is really old.
Regards,
Ramandeep Nanda

Hi Ramandeep,
Licensing questions are best answered directly by the Oracle Sales team - the answer could depend on the products that your company already have licensed, and how they are bundled etc.

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.

Instant Client SQL*Plus License Question

Can anyone shed some light on a license question for me? (I know that most license questions are for Oracle Sales to handle, but this involves a supposedly free product.)
I want to use SQL*Plus with the Instant Client in a production environment, but I am not sure whether I am entitled to. Does Instant Client "support" SQL*Plus only in the sense that if I already own a license for SQL*Plus I can use it with the Instant Client, or is the Instant Client SQL*Plus package also truly free to deploy and use?
The download page has links to download a basic Instant Client, plus several optional packages, one of which is SQL*Plus. However, the FAQ does not tell me whether the optional packages (specifically SQL*Plus) is also free to deploy and use in a production environment, and I could not find any other helpful document.
The FAQ says that "Instant Client is FREE for anyone to use in a development or production environment." It also says immediately following that "Instant Client can be used to run your OCI, OCCI, Pro*C, JDBC, and ODBC applications without installing a full Oracle Client. In addition, Instant Client supports SQL*Plus." [emphasis mine]
I would appreciate any help on this.
Thanks in advance,
Anthony

Why don't you call Oracle sales? I guess they'll be happy to answer your question.

Weblogic 6.1 SDK license IP list?

We are developing on weblogic 6.1 with an SDK license, which allows
connections from only 5 unique IP addresses. However, we are receiving
the following error messages in the logs:
"Connection rejected, the server license allows connections from only
5 unique IP addresses."
This occurs when new members of the development team attempt to access
the webapp, even when fewer than 5 other users/developers are
connected.
So it appears that the list of these IP addresses is not dynamically
built each time Weblogic is started; rather, it appears that the list
is persistent and is appended as each distinct IP connects for the
first time. After the 5 unique IP slots are filled, the user from the
6th distinct IP is out of luck, regardless of whether any of the other
5 are connected to Weblogic at the time.
If this is the case, how do we clear this list of IP addresses?

I'm getting the same problem running weblogic 7.0 with sp 1.
Any other ideas on how to solve it?

Loading ldap sdk 51 dlls from a webserver module

Hi ,
I have sunone webserver 4.1 SP9 running on my NT system. I have written a module using NSAPI which
loads (using loadlibrary) another module. This module depends on ldapsdk 51 dlls. It loads the sdk libs
properly. But somehow my first call to "ldap_simple_bind_s" does not return. It keeps waiting on some
condition in "libnspr3.dll" loaded by the webserver for its own purpose.
The stack trace is as follows:
NTDLL! 77f682db()
KERNEL32! 77f04f37()
LIBNSPR3! 30019517()
LIBNSPR3! 30019e35()
NSTIME! 00261111()
This happens ONLY when my module is talking to the DS in SSL and ONLY for the first request. A second
request goes fine. I have also tried pre-loading the sdk libraries but to no avail.
Any idea why the first calls enters libnspr3.dll rather than entering lbnspr4.dll. This problem is
definitely because of the webserver loading the nspr3.dll as similar module on IIS works properly.
Is this a known problem or is there any solution/patch that addresses this issue.
Any pointers?
Thanks in advance.
-Achyut.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your reply.
After further debugging, I have some more information. For this thread, the first bind call goes thru but then the thread tries to acquire the handle again, the bind call does not return back. The call stack I sent yesterday was for the wrong thread. Sorry about that. The correct stack trace is:
NTDLL! 77f67f77()
LIBNSPR4! 090488ce()
00528700()
0052ad20()
0052aab0()
0052ca50()
LIBNSPR4! 090582c0()
00528700()
0052ad20()
0052aab0()
0052ca50()
LIBNSPR4! 090582c0()
This does not seem to give much information apart from the fact that this does not seem to be problem with co-existence of the nspr dlls of diff. versions.
Ideally, any plugins running in an iWS 4.1 server would link against the NSPR and LDAPSDK versions bundled with the server. The relevant header files and import libraries are published to the web server's plugins/include and plugins/lib directories.[Achyut] We have a requirement and we need to support ldap sdk 51 with our product. Is there any alternative to this? As in, some SP for the same webserver version which will bundle sdk 51 along with it.
>
You can try adding the following directive to the server's config/magnus.conf file:
KernelThreads 1[Achyut] I tried this but the problem still persisted.
Ultimately, though, mixing and matching NSPR and LDAPSDK versions is simply not guaranteed to work...[Achyut] Is there any service pack for the webserver version (4.1) that bundles ldap sdk 51?
Thanks again.

CS5 Student License Question

Licensing question:
In 2011, I purchased a student license to CS5 for my mac. I have installed it on one laptop that I am the primary user of. The laptop has two user logins, mine and my husbands.
Can my husband use CS5 on the computer on an occassional basis (either through my username or his) and still be okay from a licensing point of view? There are several questions that hint at this, but I can't find a clear answer. I've read the EULA, but I'm still confused whether this is permissable or not.
Thanks for any help.

That's into the area of legal interpretation, but you don't need to overthink it. You may have purchased the license, but technically the activation is per computer, is it not? So one could simply assume that this is perfectly intended or at least within the freedom that the EULA provides... It's not like you're letting your neighbors use it for a buck an hour, or is it?

Accessing ADAM using netscape's ldap sdk

All,
I am a newbie to ldap. we have ADAM directory and i need to connect to it using netscape ldap sdk. i have downloaded the source from http://www.mozilla.org/directory/javasdk.html sdk v 4.17
the build instructions are dated way back in 1999.
while compiling the source with java5, i had to modify few things (as it uses 'enum' as variable name whereas enum is keyword in java5.
after making those changes, i could successfully compile it but i got few deprecation warnings.
i wanted to know if this project is still alive and used in the industry.
what is the commonly used provider for accessing ADAM directory using java.
also if you have an sample example using netscape ldap sdk / links /tutorials.
another thing which i would like to know is:
in few of the tutorials on JNDI i came across a statement which said that JNDI is like JDBC where only interfaces are defined and the implementation is provided by the vendor (like netscape sdk).
when i tried to ran a sample program without having netscape's ldapjdk.jar in the projects classpath, i could still successfully run it. i was using this as INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory"
does java5 come with some concrete implementation (provider) for JNDI ?
any kind of help is appreciated.
regards
amey

Here is an example if you still have not found it.

while building client i got none of such error.
any help appreciated.
TIA

Hi
I believe when using buildserver it validates the lic.txt file as you are trying to expose a tuxedo service.
The lic.txt file from the url is not valid - EXPIRATION=2001-04-28
Suggest you request a valid lic.txt file from BEA (even if its for evaluation).

TUXNT_CAT:101: ERROR: You do not have a valid TUXEDO SDK license.

Hello,
I've trying to compile a client and a server in my tuxedo 8.1 server machine but It says I don't have a valid TUXEDO SDK license. I thought the SDK license is required only for versions below 7.1. Do you have an idea?
Thanks in advance,
Renato.

Renato,
Tuxedo SDK license is required by Tuxedo 10 and previous release if you using Tuxedo build develop your applications. As I know, you can download Tuxedo 10 license at Oracle Tuxedo download site. For other version's, you contact your Oracle support.

CMDTUX_CAT:4382: ERROR: You do not have a valid SDK license.

Today, I installed the Tuxedo 10.0 64-bit file on a Solaris 9 box, and got error "You do not have a valid SDK license" when used buildserver after setup. The license key file which was downloaded from this site (http://commerce.bea.com/showproduct.jsp?family=TUX&major=10&minor=0) contains the line "TYPE=RTK", and that doesn't seem to be a right type for a developer license.
Curently, is there any other web site that will provide a developer license file for Tuxedo 10 ?
Advice is appreciated.

I went to the edelivery site and downloaded the SDK license, the Tuxedo 10 installation is running ok now.
Wayne, thank you for the advice.
