License for running on a server

I'm just wanting to verify something that the Adobe sales guy told me on the phone, before spending money.
I need my program to be able to print things via scheduled tasks without someone being logged into the computer. I called the sales people at Adobe to ask what kind of license will let me do this, and he told me that I would need a volume license because a volume license will work without a registration (meaning it will run from a scheduled task without someone logged into the computer), but the retail license (which we have) has to have someone logged into the computer. (though we can apparently use it on a server just so long as everyone that uses it has a license).
I just want to make sure that he knew what he was talking about.

Ok,
b assuming
that what the sales guy told me was true about volume licensing being legal for what I want to do... (because I told him the whole scenario, and I hope their sales staff is knowledgeable)
Is it
b technically
possible to do what I want to do?
Basically the server does automatic image captures, and I have to go in and merge them all into a PDF a couple times a day.
I want to automate it, so that I don't have to go in to do it, and so that it'll run over the weekend.
If I get the volume licensed version, will it run as a scheduled task without someone physically logged in?

Extend license for evaluation versions of server 2008 rs and sql 2008 rs

We had to stop our testing because of seasonal business requirements and now have only 11 days before the expiration of our trial versions of SQL Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008 R2. How do we extend the license for 60 days to complete our testing

The forever license is mentioned as "perpetual" otherwise its going to be on yearly basis. But , still I would be fully agreed with Fahd and would suggest that you discuss this your local oracle sales rep. I believe no one would pay the listed price and there can be tons of ways to do price negotiations and for all this and any other hidden paradigms, oracle's official sales is the best resource to check with. Anything said by anyone over here and elsewhere by a non-employee, won't be honored by oracle.

How large heap size for running a WL Server?

Hi friends,
I am running a 5.1 WL server, which usually uses more than 170Mb or even
more if I deploy EjBs.
Is that usully a server will use this much of memory?
If I want to reduce usage of heap size, what can I do?
Thanks!
James

Hi Sathya,
If you are not having any memory leaking and have a fair amount of memory allocated on one server for your application then I would suggest you to go with the increasing the number of servers in the cluster. That way you would have a distributed architecture and performance would increase.
For better tuning you can have a look at the below links

CAL Licensing For 2008 R2 Standard Server

Hi All
I am upgrading a 2003 Domain Controller with 20 CALs to a 2008 Server R2 Domain Controller that comes with 5 CALs.
Firstly, can I use the existing 20 CALs with the new 2008 R2 server?
Secondly, for the life of me I cannot find anywhere that sells Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard CAL licenses. Which I would require 15 of to match my original 20.
Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks!
Ashley Colton

Hi Ashley,
For Server 2008 R2 you need 2008 or later version of CALs. You cannot use your 2003 licenses. Typically what you would do is purchase the latest license version (2012) and they will cover the previous version. Below is sample pricing
for 2012 CALs only (no Software Assurance) for Open Business licensing program:
Windows Server 2012 User CAL Open Business Part# R18-04281 $29.47
http://www.provantage.com/microsoft-r1804281~1350612209.htm
Windows Server 2012 Device CAL Open Business Part# R18-04277 $25.63
http://www.provantage.com/microsoft-r1804277~1350612599.htm
I recommend you contact a major Microsoft reseller and ask to speak to a Microsoft Volume Licensing specialist. They can help you determine the correct licensing program for you, give you correct part#s, etc.

Do I need to install user licenses to RDP to the server?

I have a 2003 terminal server running an app that is accessed by only a handful of users. Users remote desktop into the server to use this app. The app is licensed for the handful of users.
The app needs to update to the latest version and does not support server 2003. I have a server 2008 r2 (virtualized on hyper-v 2012 r2 server) with the RD session host role installed.
Before installing the RD licensing role, I checked the 2003 term. server license configuration and there's non. So, it looks like licensing per user or device has not been setup. My question is, do I need to setup licensing for this scenario?
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Based on your description, you have updated your server from 2003 to 2008 R2 and now need to take remote access for that server by users for running application.
Yes, you need to setup licensing for your scenario. Server 2003 license\CAL will not work with server 2008 r2 but vice versa is possible. So you need to install RD License server 2008 R2, activate the license server, upgrade\purchase the RDS CAL (Per User or
Per Device) and then configure that CAL to use by the users. You can directly contact MS Clearing house with all your license document, explain them whole scenario and they will help for your situation.
Please refer following article for more detailed information.

Is it possible to run Mac OS Server as a VM

Is it possble to buy and install Mac OS Server as a VM on a windows 2008 server running vmware?
Currently working on integrating macs, ipads and iphones into a windows domain and have a few areas where Windows Config Manager and Windows AD does not solve my issues. My manager has accepted to buy Mac Server, but wants to have it installed as a vm.

The license for OS X and Server.app does allow running in a VM and this can be VMware but the license only allows this if the VM is hosted on Apple (Mac) hardware.
In theory you can run Server 2008R2 on Mac hardware and VMware on top off that so technically the answer is yes. In reality the answer is no you cannot do this.
You will therefore have to consider getting something like a Mac Mini server, running the Apple software on that and binding it to Active Directory. There are special brackets available to 'rackmount' Mac mini computers.
If you want a sort of failover capability for the Mac server, something which Apple themselves no longer provide in software then an approach is to have two identical Macs, you would setup one and clone it to the second (spare). You would then boot the second one in FireWire Target Disk mode and have it connected via FireWire to the first main Mac server. It will then show up as an external drive. You would then set the first main server to periodically sync to the second one to keep it up to date.
As always with servers they should be protected by a UPS.
You then need a managed power strip like this http://www.amazon.com/APC-AP7900-Switched-Surge-Protector/dp/B0000AAAYH/ref=sr_1 _8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1355395198&sr=1-8&keywords=managed+power+strip
With this power strip, you can use a web-browser to remotely turn off or on individual power sockets. If the main server dies you would then turn its socket off and would power cycle the second backup Mac server. This second Mac would then boot as normal and be able to take over server duties.
Unlike Windows, Apple software will not whine about product activation and serial numbers and will therefore boot and run without any issues even though it is now running on a different device.
You could extend this approach somewhat by having the Macs connect to a SAN.
Note: There are Thunderbolt to FDDI adaptors giving you the same performance levels as a traditional PCI-E card.
These Macs can either use internal software RAID1 for protection, or you can boot from an external Thunderbolt RAID box which can be configured to RAID5, or you can combine the two. You cannot boot the Mac from a SAN.

If I am licensed for Oracle Internet Application Server (Standard edition, Enterprise Edition) can I run a ADF 11g application for free?
No. The existing Oracle Internet Application Server(iAS) is not capable of running an ADF 11g application. You will need to deploy such applications on a WebLogic 10gR3 based Application Server. In order to be able to do this you will need to migrate your iAS license to the equivalent WebLogic Server or Suite license,. Please consult your sales contact or visit the Oracle Store.
questions
(q1) Has anyone been able to migrate his license to WebLogic Server?
(q2) Which future (WLS based) Oracle Application Server release will allow to deploy JDeveloper 11g ADF applications without the need to buy a new license? Will there be such a release?
many thanks
Jan Vervecken

As far as I know the final details of the license migration from OAS 10.1.2 to FMW11g are still being finalized.
FMW 11g will have more components in it than OAS 10.1.2 had - and also more than what WLS had - so there will be a need to figure out what you had license for and what you are buying license for - and there will probably be various editions/packaging to match various needs.
I think this discussion is better left of this forum and in the hands of the Oracle sales team and your managers who can figure out the right price, discount etc...
Lets keep this forum focused on the technical aspects of any such migration.

DB licensing for OrPOS

Do you need to acquire separate DB licenses for the database used in the store or is this already covered in the per-POS license? If you are using Data-Guard to replicate the DB to a cold-standby machine, do you need additional DB license for the standby DB server?

Yes, you need to buy license separately for Oracle DB and it is not covered in the POS license. Not sure about the licensing of db replication. You need to check with the Oracle support.

Independent developer needs dev license for BW

Hello. What are the steps for an independent developer to get a non-trial license of BW for development purposes?

Here is the "License FAQ" for the Connector. The PDK might have a different license.
1. Do I need a developer license for the SAP connector for Microsoft .NET?
Developer licenses are always required when SAP development tools and functionality are being used for development.
2. We already use ABAP for development. Do we need additional licenses to use the SAP connector for Microsoft .NET?
If you have existing developer licenses these named persons already have the required license to develop solutions based on the SAP connector for Microsoft .NET. If additional persons want to develop based on the SAP connector for Microsoft .NET, you will have to acquire additional developers licenses for them. In any case, all customers can download the SAP connector for Microsoft .NET from the SAP Service Marketplace under the Quick Link Connectors.
3. How can I purchase developer licenses for the SAP connector for Microsoft .NET?
To obtain the necessary license please contact your local SAP office.
4. Do I need a runtime license for running an application that uses the SAP connector for Microsoft .NET?
The runtime does not require any immediate license fees. However, please note that each user accessing application functionality through the SAP connector for Microsoft .NET is required to be licensed under a respective solution or component license.

Oracle license for VMWare server

A vendor is telling me I can not put their Oracle database on a VMWare server because it is only licensed for one CPU. I tried to explain I could set the VMWare session to only use one CPU but they said Oracle will not allow that. They have already proven it runs fine on VMWare but refuse to budge saying it is a dumb Oracle licensing requirement.
Is this really true? Is it OK to use a product utilizing an Oracle database licensed for a single CPU to run on a VMWare server if I restrict the session to use only one CPU?

Yes, this is correct. When using Oracle products in a virtual environment, you must count the amount of CPU-cores within the complete environment and/or cluster. So not only the single CPU which was assigned to your virtual server. The idea behind this calculation is simple: you can not guarantee that your virtual server will not consume more CPU power in the near future. You are able to assign more CPU's on the spot.
If you need more info or help buying the right amount against the right price, feel free to contact me at: [email protected]

Licensing requirements for running SBS 2011 in Hyper-V

I am currently running SBS 2011 that is natively installed on a Dell PowerEdge server. The plan is to add some RAM and then convert the system to a Hyper-V server that would run the SBS operating system as a VM. From a licensing standpoint, I realize I will
need to purchase a copy of Server 2012 R2 Standard in order to run Hyper-V on the server. I believe I would also be licensed to run the SBS operating system as one of the two licensed VMs.
My question is what is the requirement as far as user CALs is concerned? Seeing as my users will continue to access the SBS server, they will never access the Server 2012 box directly. The only purpose for Server 2012 is to provide the Hyper-V host. So am
I bound by the user licensing of the SBS server, or am I required to also purchase user CALs for the Server 2012 platform?
Thanks for any insight on this question...

It is always best to talk with a trained Microsoft licensing specialist when asking about licensing questions. A license is a legal agreement between you and the license issuer. Relying on information from a technical forum on the internet would
not stand up in a court of law, and your auditors would not like that.
That said, a Windows Server CAL - Client Access License - covers access to Window Server(s). Whether you have 1 or 100 Windows Server, the client access license grants the right to access the services. Yes, they are operating system version specific,
but if you are running only the Hyper-V role in the host installation, no CALs are required for the host. If you are running other services that the clients are accessing, then you would need to purchase the 2012 CALs. Again - check with a trained
Microsoft licensing specialist.

Server 2012 Standard license and VM license for windows instances

Hi,
A question about VM instances on standard server 2012 license exists here
I cannot link it here as my account is not verified. The topic is titled "Windows Server 2012 Standard License and VMs"
My question is tad different...
If I understand this correctly, 1 windows server standard license provides support for 1 Physical Operating System Environment (The VM Host / POSE) and permission to run 2 Virtual Operating System Environment(VOSE).
Does this imply that I can install 2 additional instances of Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition on the permitted 2 VM instances on the server? Or... should I purchase additional licenses for each VOSE that runs windows?
Does the standard license provide rights to run 2 Virtual instances AND offer install and activation rights for 2 MS windows (virtual) environments AND install and activation rights for the windows host?
If license is require for each instance of server 2012 running on the VM ... can I avoid purchasing additional licenses for operating systems, say, if I run 2 Centos operating system instances in 2 VOSE?
Please help!
Thanks.

Licensing questions should be asked of a trained Microsoft licensing specialist. I haven't seen one of those lurking in this forum. www.microsoft.com/licensing.
That said, licenses are assigned to the physical host, not to VMs. The License you assign to the host grants you the "right to run" addition virtual operating system environments running Windows Server. It does not grant you additional licenses.
Licensing for Microsoft Windows Server operating system is controlled by Microsoft. Licensing for any other operating system is not covered by the virtualization rights of the Windows Server operating system. Therefore, if the CentOS virtual machines
are properly licensed by whoever licenses them, you can run however many instances that license allows.
A single Standard Edition license can be installed on the physical host granting you the right to run up to two virtual instances of Standard Edition. However, if you run additional services, such as file services or Active Directory or IIS, etc.,
on the physical instance, that means you can only run one additional virtual instance of Windows Server.
Free advice is worth every cent.
