Licencing Questions

Hi there,
My client is asking some awkward questions!  They have BW 3.1 and want to know:
1.  When will BW3.1 cease to be supported by SAP.
2.  When they bought their BW3.1 licence, did they automatically get SEM with that?  If not, would they get it if they upgraded to 3.5?  To Netweaver 2004/ 2004s?
3.  Can they upgrade straight from 3.5 to Netweaver 2004/ 2004s?  Or must they go to 3.5 first?
Sorry guys, I'm just a techie - I can build cubes and queries, but haven't got a clue about these licence issues!
Cheers,
Tristan

Search 'Product Availability Matrix' on service.sap.com; it should point you to support period and other info for all releases of all SAP products.
BW doesn't contain SEM, SEM remains a separate product. From 3.5 onwards (I think), you do get the erstwhile BPS component of SEM in BW (rest - BCS,SRM,CPM are not included in BW, they remain with SEM). 3.5 does have BPS, and so does BI7.0 onwards (BW-BPS has changed quite a bit in 7.0, making it easier to use).
BW3.1 support ends on 31.12.2006. You can directly upgrade to nw04/nw04s from 3.1.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro - Licencing Question

    I am about to buy a new laptop.  I also intend to buy a full retail copy of Windows 8 Pro so that I can install (and reinstall) windows as required without having to endure the manufacturer's "extras".  I will therefore effectively be
    discarding the OEM licence of Windows 8.1 Pro that comes with the laptop - I will boot the machine straight into the installation media if that makes a difference to the scenarios below.
    My questions are as follows:  
    I would like to install my full Retail copy of Win8 into two separate hard drive partitions on the
    same computer.  Let's call the partitions "Work" and "Play", the intention is to separate any games I install away from my work config (and also stop my work machine from getting slowed down waiting for Steam).  Obviously,
    only one of the installations could possibly be active at one time and the hardware would be identical.  Would Microsoft expect me to buy two licences for this or can I use the same key twice?  (I know that the OEM key cannot be used on a fresh install).
    Is it legal to install my retail copy of Win8 into a Virtual Machine on the laptop running the same retail copy?  The VM will only ever be used on the laptop that is running the licensed copy of Windows.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    Hi,
    According to Windows 8.1 license terms:
    Under our license, we grant you the right to install and run that one copy on one computer (the licensed computer), for use by one person at a time, but only if you comply with all the terms of this agreement. Typically, this means you can install one
    copy of the software on a personal computer and then you can use the software on that computer.
    It's not allowed to use one personal license at two system at the same time.
    For more questions, you can check Windows license terms in your computer:

  • Solaris 8 Intel - Licence question

    Hi there,
    My name is Long Phan from Australia. I recently got Sun Solaris 8 from SUN (USA) binary free licence (?!). I tried to install following things:
    * Install SUN OS (Intel) - OK!
    * Applied Security & Patches - OK!
    * Setup SAMBA - OK!
    * Setup Webmin - OK!
    * Setup DNS - OK!
    then when I tried to setup WEB (ver 2.0.40) after reboot. I CAN'T:
    * ping
    * nslookup
    * Surf the AnswerBook2
    * Share files (SAMBA) from my Windows pc
    I tried to re-install couple of times but I GOT the same problem. Please anybody helps me with this; I have following questions:
    * Do I need any licence for my SUN Solaris 8 (Intel) before I can setup anything else?
    * If I do then where I can get it?
    * If it's not the case then what did I do wrong?? I can ping, copy files from Windows (SAMBA), surf the AnswerBook 2 from my Windows, nslookup zone BUT when reboot I CAN'T DO anything (ping, nslookup, suft the AnswerBook 2)
    Please helps & thanks

    Hi!
    I also had the same exact problem during the install. The only way that I could procede was to tell it that I didn't want to install networking. Now when I boot, it tries to load the elx0 driver (for my 3Com 3c509b) and brings the following message, "SIOCSLIFFFLAGS cannot assigm requested address." I have checked the Irq/IO setting in the hardware configuration agent and everything seems to be correct. To top it all off, once I logon if I enter "ifconfig elx0 192.168.1.2 up" then everything works fine. I tried to forceload the elx0 module in /etc/system to see if the module just wasn't loaded early enough but this did not help. Any ideas of what else I should check?
    TIA

  • DSC Run-Time Licence Questions

    Hello,
    I have recently discovered that LabView Developers Suite that I thougt was a complete development & deployment platform is not:
    Since I had chosen to use DSC Modbus funcitonality, I need the DSC Runtime as well, apprantly both on my development system, and on the PC where the system will be deployed.
    As bad as this is, I find it more frustrating to find out how these licences must be handled.
    Our customer is a Precast Concrete Production plant that is not accustomed to handling software installation and licence issues.
    Further, the PC is of course not online to the internet: This is a rough production environment.
    I will build a complete installation package so that that customer can install the complete software onto the PC in a few easy steps.
    I thougt LabView was up to this task, but I am now wondering if this is the case.
    My questions are:
    Must the DSC Runtime Licence be activated on the client's PC?
    If yes, how is the licence activated when the PC has no internet connection?
    PCs quite frequently die in these rough environments, and the client must be able to quickly install my software package onto a new PC to keep the production running!
    Can the client reinstall my software package on a new PC with no DSC Runtime licence hassle?
    What are the exact steps to do this?
    Suggestions:
    I strongly feel that NI should put up information about the fact that a DSC runtime is needed and links that explain these Licence issues on the following page:
    http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/1012
    The page above should also contain a link to this page: http://www.ni.com/labview/labviewdsc/faq.htm
    Like it is now, developers are waiting valuable time to find answers to thse questions (at least we did).

    Hi,
    If you simply need to use ModBus, here is a free library for LabVIEW: http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/201711
    To your questions:
    Must the DSC Runtime Licence be activated on the client's PC? Yes
    If yes, how is the licence activated when the PC has no internet connection? You can call your local NI Office, give them the Serial Number and the Computer ID (could be found in the license manager) and activate it per hand.
    PCs quite frequently die in these rough environments, and the client must be able to quickly install my software package onto a new PC to keep the production running! They can again call NI with the new computer ID
    It is not an option to start rewriting code to use the Modbus library directly at this time. We use DSC to bind Shared Variables to Modbus addresses.
    So NI is open 24  * 7 to support this and other 24 * 7 industries with new Runtime Licenses when a Control System PC / RT Module breaks down?
    This does not look good for using DSC functionality in this industry. The potential client base here, is quite large: > 130 factories throuhtout Europe.
    Why doesn't NI simply let users run 30 days on a temporary DSC Runtime License the way you do it for all other NI products?
    a) This way we could test the software.
    b) Clients could reinstall and have 30 days to get help to activate the DSC Runtime License.
    Does not look like NI is interested in supporting 24 * 7 industries at all !
    Better suggestions from NI?

  • Nexus 5500 Licencing question

    I have Nexus 5596UP switch running ver 5.2.1, I recently added Layer 3 card to the swicthes, L3 cards by default comes with  LAN_BASE_SERVICES_PKG licence. According to Cisco web site, I need LAN_ENTERPRISE_SERVICES_PKG in order to use VRF lite..
    However I was able to create many VRFs on the swicthe and they work very fine. I assume that could be the grace period for LAN_ENTERPRISE_SERVICES_PKG licence, but according to Cisco I will get a daily notification about the grace period, which I don't. Also looking to the licence usage, I don't see LAN_ENTERPRISE_SERVICES_PKG being used..

      ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.239.240.37
    Also many SVIs are attached to several vrfs
    example
    interface vlan 123
    vrf member vrf1
    ip address 10.1.1.1/24
    So my question, for these VRFs, do I really need LAN_ENTERPRISE_SERVICES_PKG? or what I have is enough?
    Thanks for your help

    According to license description and as you noted, you need enterprise service license to do VRF, but if it is working without it, than I guess you don't need it.  Also check the the routing protocols you are going to be using.

  • Runtime Licence Question

    Hello,
    I have a question relates to runtime licence.
    I make a installer that includes "Labview runtime engine" and "NI-VISA runtime" with my application.
    If I want to sell this installer to my customer, do I need to get any license else?

    The same question was asked earlier today.

  • Office 365 general licence question

    I am looking to provide a new service to a cluster of schools which will be separate to their every day work. This will be only for select users in about a dozen schools which will help with collaboration and communication for Head Teachers and the deputy
    head.
    The school have piloted Office 365 Education A3 plan but the service I will provide is going to be through my own company.  My question is this.  Would I apply for a education licences or as it's a service my company is going to offer would I still
    have to pay for an enterprise or pro licence?
    I hope that makes sense
    Thanks in advance.

    It sounds like you need to talk to MS Partner Support, since you will be selling/reselling/onselling/upselling ?
    Resellers and hosters, have different MS agreements (partner agreements).
    The typical "Retail" or "Volume" products, can't be on-sold, I think.

  • Licencing question

    My apologies if not posting this in the correct section, but couldn't see anywhere else that would suit.
    We bought Crystal Reports Server from a reseller in Australia, and we are now wanting to increase our licence count.
    I was wanting to know if I would be able to purchase the additional licences through the American SAP online store.
    I have the question of compatibility of the licences bought through American site, and how we would link the extra licences to our support agreement with SAP also.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I'd call the toll-free number and ask, you should be able to find it on the online store site [http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/store/index.epx]

  • Windows 8 recovery and licence question

    Hi guys,
    I have got an Lenovo G50-30 notebook and I've ordered recovery discs thru phone support line. I got 5 discs and I have issue with this recovery. On first disc I need to choose language and region and there is no polish language (notebook is bought in Poland and recovery was ordered thru polish support). I know that Windows lincence is limited to one language and here is my problem. Will recovery give me an option to choose polish as language for Windows?
    PS. Notebook was originally with Windows 8, I updated it to 8.1 and got discs for 8.1, no 8. Thats good?

    Yes definitely. On reading through your post when I got to "(One Touch recovery didn't work either, it'd blue screen)" my immediate guess was that you had a problem with memory.
    How many sticks of memory are installed in the system, 1 or 2?  If you have two maybe you could test them individually to find out which one (or both) may be defective.

  • Student licence questions

    First of all - sorry for my English.
    1. I'm student but my speciality is not connected with design etc. May I use the licence?
    2. When I'll finish the university, I must buy the usual licence, or I can continue using student licenced product.

    1. You can install the software on up to three computers but only work with one at the same time
    2. No. Just the LabWindows 8
    3. You can use it after your studies as long as you want to, but you will not be able to upgrade your software.
    Hope this helps.

  • Edge Animate Free Licence Question

    Edge Animate is free for sometime - this is great news- but i have one question,
    what will happen after ending this free offer, will I be allowed reinstall Edge if for example my Windows 7 crash?

    Thanks Elaine... I see. Then it will remain necessary to come back to the Creative Cloud Service to perform installs when changing computer or hard drive or if installing on a different machine.
    Sad to hear that and I won't hide that also made me a bit upset too.
    Call me old fashion but I am not a fan of macro-managing and intrusive policies (subscription requires collecting a given amount of data that buying previous versions didn't... why does Adobe need my DoB if it ain't going to send me a cake and a gift?!) and who will ensure users the company won't be monitoring, whether to ensure proper funcioning or for other reasons, the usage or collecting machine information? I am still one of those who wants a "physical ownership" of what I purchase and I'd rather have no "always on connection" with the companies providing the software (when I want that I'll come here ;D) when programs don't require it. I am a fan of manual updates and user controlled actions. I don't like automatic systems at least as much as I don't like automatic cars (And no, won't line up to buy a drive-itself google car when that hits the market Sorry Larry and Sergei, but keep at it lots of people who don't like to drive will!)
    Back on topic... I like the level of privacy and sense of privacy the separate user controlled and network disconnected installer had always allowed. So Adobe will forgive me for not meeting this decision with too much enthusiasm as I will continue to consider it an unwelcome imposition on those willing to pay a premium to own a perpetual license that comes with disks or downloadable copy of the installer that can be kept by the buyer and istalled as they see fit. Unfortunately I have no influence on company policies and will have to suck it up. That's really too bad because while I like what the wiz teams are doing at Adobe, I can't say the same for marketing and executive departments
    That said though a question though will come natural here. Since I use my the Adobe product on my desktop while at my home office and I use the same copy on my laptop while at clients or on the go... how would that work for creative cloud applications with perpetual license or for those rented via subscription? Will I now be required to buy 2 perpetual licenses or 2 subscriptions for something I can't use at the same time unless growing 2 extra arms? Are there formulas that allow at least installation for smaller operations such as one-man bands or tiny quartets to operate without "breaking the piggy-bank"?
    In conclusion and as a reminder which I've already posted other times, when the community gets upset on topics like these it's not all just about money and even when "yelling, ******** and moaning", we do that with all the best intention to let Adobe know we still love the people working hard there, but we strongly and passionately disagree with some of the decision being taken and affecting all of us out here. When a company is this large and capable in direct and indirect ways to set standards and trends, we do feel the need to voice our concerns being part of those who have stakes as both end users of the products and consumer or what produced by those products... (hope this last thought will be clear to everyone reading ).
    Thanks again for your always welcom, informative and very much appreciated replies Elaine!
    Cheers!

  • GPL javascript library licencing question

    Is it legal for me to use GPL javascript libraries such as Ext JS in APEX? My understanding is that to do so would require any additional client side code such as all the default APEX javascript libraries to be GPL'd.
    What's the deal with the APEX javascript library? Perhaps someone at Oracle already released an APEX application that uses Ext JS, therefore rendering the default APEX javascript libraries as GPL?

    Hello,
    EXTJS has a commercial licence which allows you include it in applications you don't wish to share the source-code etc to -
    >
    This is the appropriate option if you are creating proprietary applications and you are not prepared
    to distribute and share the source code of your application under the GPL.

  • Toolkit licence question (toolklit jar redistribution)

    Hi,
    At the moment i'm distributing the jar that comes with wireless toolkit along with my code, so that i can have mobile clients on phones which are not jsr 172 compatible.
    Would it be ok if i redistribute any of the jars from the wireless toolkit with my apps ? This way my code works fine on phones which don't support jsr 172.
    Best Regards

    Hi,
    Actually, i've done just what you have told. I have a motorola mpx220 which does not seem to be supporting jsr172. I've included the jar that comes with web services toolkit, and voila!, mpx220 now executed my program which accesses .net web services.
    At this moment, the code is working on the actual device, and i have also tested it on an older nokia which again worked just fine.
    I could have used ksoap to avoid any possible licence problems, but in that case, i will lose the ability to generate proxies for my web services, since ksoap does not seem to have such a tool.
    I don't want to change soap related code by hand everytime i change something in the web services ( at least at the development phase), so if i can include sun's jars in my app, everyting is fine.
    Best Regards
