License Issue from MCS 6.1.3 to UCS 9.0

Hello all,
We are upgarding CUCM from 6.1.3 MCS to 9.1 UCS. Our plan is to jump from 6.1.3 to 6.1.5 to 9.1.
We took backup of 6.1.3 MCS via Disaster Backup Recovery & restore it at UCS after new installation of 6.1.3.
We contacted cisco licensing team to issue us temporaray license for 6.1.3 for UCS so that we can proceed to upgrade process. Cisco issued us license but we are not able to install it successfully. Its giving attached mac-address mismatch error.
We contacted back to license team again & they confirmed there is no issue in license file, its some thing with the system.
Can any one advise what could be wrong with system. I am sending the output from system, screen shot of error & license file.
Please advise.

Acrobat 9 - Upgrade Computer OS from Windows XP to 7 - Licensing Issues?

I have a Lenovo laptop that came with Win XP and Acrobat 9 Standard pre-installed, but they gave me the Acrobat installation CD with product key on the back. So after I wipe the HD and insall a new OEM version of Win7 SP1, can I simply install Acrobat from the old CD using the product key, or will I have licensing issues from the re-installation? -- JClarkW

>>The only issue might be if there had been an activation and you did not deactivate it first.<<
I'm sure I would have activated it, to get updates if nothing else, but how do I tell? If so, how do I deactivate it before the OS replacement? -- JClarkW

Lightroom 2 - Upgrade Computer OS from Windows XP to 7 - Licensing Issues?

I have a laptop running Win XP and Lightroom 2 -- I've saved the many sequential updates somewhwere -- that needs its OS upgraded to Win7. I had purchased Lightroom 2 retail and have the original installation CD with serial number on the back. So after I wipe the HD and insall a new OEM version of Win7 SP1, can I simply install Lighrtroom from the old CD using the serial number and apply the updates, or will I have licensing issues from the re-installation?
If there was an activation step, I'm sure I did it to get the updates. If so, do I have to de-activate before the OS upgrade? If so, how do I do that? -- JClarkW

Just download the latest version LR 2.5 (here for windows)
https://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4572
and install and enter your serial number.
No activation necessary.

Lightroom 4 from US, is there a license issue?

I recently received a box unit of Lightroom 4 from US, is there a license issue if I install it in Singapore as I recide in Singapore. Are there any restrictions?

A LR licience allows install on 2 systems as long as the software is only used one at a time.
Adobe has NO restrictions on where the systems are upon which it's software is installed.

Licensing issue - CUCMBE Upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1

My upgrade was successful but the Node license is showing as DEMO. I installed the license I recieved via the PAK and rebotted the BE Server, but it still shows up as DEMO.
I am on with TAC, but they can't seem to figure this out.
Has anyone else run into this issue?
Thanks,

No - the server is up and running. The SW feature still says 7.0 as I understand it only show the major release.
After an hour of so with TAC and Cisco Licensing they did send me a Node License that fixed the DEMO issue.
My question now is - why didn't they send me the Node License along with the Feature licenses?
Also - they send me Unity Connection Licensing and PAK, but the upgrade of CM appeared to upgrade Unity as well. What makes this more confusing is that I did not install any new unity licensing, yet I do not have any licensing issues in unity......
Wow - I'm confused. and so was Cisco.

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...

ORA-20001: The printing engine..Is this related to a BIP licensing issue?

Hello all,
The error "ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL..." happens in 2 cases:
<pre>
1. When our BIP is down or being bumped
2. As an APEX administrator, in workspace environment settings, the print server is set to OFF.
</pre>
I'm thinking that this is a licensing issue but I need some clarification on what is causing the error, because all we are trying to do is bring up a PDF report that a user can open or save. BIP is not involved at this point. Is it because the report was developed using BIP that APEX needs BIP up? How does APEX even know the report was developed using BIP? Were are using APEX 3.2.1.00.12 and BIP 10.1.3.4.1
The error happens when a user clicks on a PDF icon that calls an "After Submit Process". The following is the code and the report that was created in BIP is loaded into APEX with a "Named Columns (RTF)" layout type.
Alex.

7. Enabling Network Services in Oracle Database 11g
By default, the ability to interact with network services is disabled in Oracle Database 11g release 1 (11.1). Therefore, if running Oracle Application Express with Oracle Database 11g release 1 (11.1), use the new DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN package to grant connect privileges to any host for the FLOWS_030100 database user. Failing to grant these privileges results in issues with PDF/report printing, specifically, you will get the following error message:
ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.
Follow the steps mentioned in the Oracle Application Express Installation Guide, Enabling Network Services in Oracle Database 11g. Also refer to the troubleshooting section in case you receive an ORA-44416: Invalid ACL error after running the previous script.

Need to pull License type from GTS to R3 in case of STO documents

Hi Gurus,
Currently, In standard sales order process, we are using 2 functional modules in R3 to get the ECCN number and license type from GTS. This is required to populate on some billing output.
Functional modules used are:
/SAPSLL/***_DOCS_SD0C_FETCH_R3
/SAPSLL/***_DOCS_SD0C_GET_R3
Using above mentioned functional modules, we can only pull ECCN number and license type from GTS only if we pass sales document number to this FM and further system pulls ECCN and license type from GTS by referring the sales document number.
Issue:
We have a requirement is to pull the License type in case of STO documents also but STO documents/STO deliveries are not checked for GTS check, so we can not use above mentioned functional modules to pull the license type from GTS to R3 because STO/PO / deliveries do not exist in GTS.
I just have the material number with me and I need to pull the license type from GTS to R3.
Could anyone please advise the table name or any structure where i can pass the material number in GTS and can pull the license type to R3.
Your kind response would be appreciated.

Hi DG,
Thanks for your kind response. Regarding your second point, I am already pulling the ECCN number by using one customized functional module so I already have ECCN number with me. Could you please brief me how I can pull the License type linked to an ECCN number. What is the relationship table/ logic for pulling the license type by passing the ECCN number ??
Looking forward to your response.
Regards,
Anoop

Have the Adobe Muse CC (2014) licensing issues been resolved?

Have the Adobe Muse CC (2014) licensing issues been resolved?
I am patiently waiting for some word on whether I can go ahead a install the new version of Muse CC (2014) software on my systems without running into the quagmire that so many are experiencing. I simply can't afford to run the risk that I will be stuck with a "trial version" for the next 30 days without some assurance from Adobe that they will be able to solve the problems in that time frame. It would be nice if adobe would send out an email that explains the situation to all of it's users so we know what's going on and when the issue is resolved. Collectively we all pay a lot money for these "updates", so I don't think it's to much to ask.
Kind Regards,

PS: Please reference this forum discussion - Muse CC 2014 wants Serial Number, though i pay monthly for muse

Flex Automation API "Licensing Issue"

Hi,
We are using "Eclipse Ganymede with Flash Builder Standard Version - 4.0 plugin" + Premium License. We are working with the automation of a Flex application. The automation tool we are using is the FlexMonkium 4.1.5.
We have some issues with the automation. I have mentioned those below:
Flex Automation API is limiting the features of the FlexMonkium 4.1.5 as this tool inherits the features and it underlies on the mechanism of the FlexAutomation API only.
Due to the above mentioned point, the dependencies are:
License not present. With the trial version only limited records are allowed.
License not present. With the trial version only limited replays are allowed.
When we record the user actions performed in the application with the FlexMonkium, we are getting the error as "License not present. With the trial version only limited records are allowed."
Note: This error is thrown after 15 - 20 user actions have been performed.
When we execute the recorded script, it is showing up a error message as "License not present. With the trial version only limited replays are allowed."
Note: This error is thrown after 51 -20 user actions have been executed by the script.
The complete code of the application is compiled with "Eclipse Ganymede with Flash Builder Standard Version - 4.0 plugin" + Premium License."
From the adobe forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/682958 we understood that the 4.1 SDK with Premium licence would work fine with record and playback.
My quesion is, Does the same works with this combination > "Eclipse Ganymede with Flash Builder Standard Version - 4.0 plugin" + Premium License.
Please guide me to resolve this issue, it would really be very helpful for me:)
Thanks in advance,
Anand.S

May I know what you mean exactly by "Flash Builder Standard Version - 4.0 plugin" + Premium License.
Have you entered Flash builder premium license key in the screen that asks for serial number? If so, it will be Flash Builder Premium version 4.0 and not Standard version any more.
If so, automation should work without any issue.
To check whether premium features are enabled for your version of Flash Builder, please open "Network Monitor" using Window > Show View and see if it is enabled.
If it is disabled, it shows a message that premium license is required.
Please confirm.
Thanks,

9.3.0.1 Permanent Licensing Issue

I am trying to use an old VMware image that contains Planning 9.3.0.1, but I am having licensing issues.
Steps taken already
1) I went to http://licensecodes.oracle.com/downloads/HS9_MasterLicenseFile.zip and download the new license file.
2) Then went to the license manager (LMtools.exe) and was successful starting and stopping the license server and re-reading the license.
3) Then went to the Configuration Utility and Activated the Product to change the Deployment ID to "Temp-0004" within System 9 BI+, Analytical Services, Financial Management and Planning.
Where I see the errors
1) In my debugging of the issue, I tried starting the Hyperion Planning via command line. Planning starts up fine but no longer accepts the requests.
Error Text: "CLS0000017 No unexpired licenses are available for your product. No further requests to the server will be processed."
2) Also within workspace when I go from Navigate -> Application -> Planning -> PlanApp1 I receive the follow error when I try to login.
Error Text: "A problem with Hyperion System 9 Planning license was encountered. Please see the log for details."
Any suggestions?

I'm attaching the instructions I put together about a year ago -- your mileage may vary:
Instructions to update the 9.3 Demo Drives to new license files.
copy HS9_MasterLicenseFile.lic C:\HYSL\common\LicenseServer\Licenses
move C:\HYSL\common\LicenseServer\Licenses\NA_HYSL_Demo_Disk_beckett_01_18_2007_ga.lic C:\HYSL\common\LicenseServer\NA_HYSL_Demo_Disk_beckett_01_18_2007_ga.lic.bak

Execute the Hyperion System 9 Foundation / Configuration utility
Active the following Products using the default Deployment ID which is *
Hyperion System 9 BI+
Analytic Services
Hyperion System 9 Financial Management
Hyperion System 9 BI+ Enterprise Metrics
Hyperion System 9 Performance Scorecard
Strategic Finance Server
Planning
Verify the DEPLOYMENTID in C:\HYSL\BIPlus\common\config\license.properties
Ensure the DeploymentID matches below exactly.

Reboot
Start Planning
Login
If Login provides license error, perform below steps:
1) Run: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\isqlw.exe
2) Connect as Windows Authenticated User
3) In SQL window:

Upgrade Call Manager from 8.5(1) to 10.5(1) and migrate from MCS to UCS...

We are upgrading UCM from 8.5(1) to 10.5(1) and migrating from MCS to UCS. We used UCM 8.5 OVA (7500 user) and migrated to UCS.
Once migrated to UCS we upgraded UCM to 10.5(1). We wanted to use OVA to accommodate 10,000 users, hence took backup of 10.5(1) cluster and installed new servers with new 10.5(1) OVA (10,000 users).
While doing DRS restore, system we were not able to perform a restore. It seems UCM is not recognizing the XML file. It is strange as we took the back from UCM 10.5(1) and trying to restore same version, only difference is upgrade was done with 7500 user OVA and we are now trying to install 10,000 user OVA.
Has anyone run into similar issue? any help will be great.
Thank You.

This thread is 5 months old but doesn't seem resolved...
I ran into this same scenario last week. Was using the same SFTP server for backups and restores during migration from 7.1(5) to 10.5 and during final rebuild/restore of the "to-be" production 10.5 Publisher, the DRS server was unresponsive and blamed the Master Agent or SFTP server. I had restarted Master and Local agent repeatedly, and regenerated ipsec certs to no avail.
TAC suggested I try a different SFTP server (which I already had, with the same files), and try deleting the .xml files that were included with the backup (drfComponent.xml and processhost.xml). I installed TitanFTP, per TAC's recommendation, deleted the processhost.xml file, regenerated the ipsec certificate one last time, restarted DRF Master, and then DRF Agent, and was able to start a DRS Restore.
Try the above process if you're still having issues.

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/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.

Windows 2008 R2 RDS Licensing Issue

I have Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 farm (with all of the application servers running Windows 2003) and I have just migrated from using a Windows 2003 server for the terminal services licensing to a Windows 2008 R2 RDS server for the licensing. We have
a number of thin-clients that connect to the Citrix farm and provide a kiosk for users. We have 85 per device licenses however we are only using 15 of those licenses (plans were made but never implemented to use the rest), so we have 70 available licenses.
The licenses are configured per device and as Windows Server 2003 licenses.
After the migration to 2008 R2, the thin-clients connected to the new licensing server without any trouble at all. As I monitored the licenses on the new server, each thin-client was given a temporary license first and then at the
next connection they got a permanent license. All of this I have been able to confirm through the event logs on the server.
However, what I get in the event logs of the new 2008 R2 licensing server an event with event ID 21 that says:
The Remote Desktop license server "ServerName" does not have any remaining permanent Remote Desktop Services client access licenses (RDS CALs) of the type "Windows Server 2003 - TS Per Device CAL". As a result, the Remote Desktop license server cannot issue
RDS CALs of the type "Windows Server 2003 - TS Per Device CAL" to the Remote Desktop Session Host server "vvv.xxx.yyy.zzz". To resolve this problem, verify that the Remote Desktop licensing mode configured on the RD Session Host server matches the type of
RDS CALs installed on the Remote Desktop license server. If required, purchase and install additional RDS CALs as needed for this Remote Desktop license server.
(Note I have removed the server name and IP address due to company policy.) I have confirmed that every server in my Citrix farm has its terminal services configuration set for "per device" licensing and I have also specified the name of the 2008
R2 server rather than allow the servers to automatically find the licensing server. I have confirmed that my 2008 R2 server is configured for "per device" licensing.
The IP addresses I have seen in the event log messages are the IP addresses of a Citrix server rather than one of the thin-clients, and so far every Citrix server we have has appeared in one of these event log messages. I have been able
to determine that this event does not occur when a thin-client is connecting up nor does this event occur when I remotely log into the server.
As I noted above we only have 15 thin-clients using the 85 licenses so we have 70 available licenses for the Citrix servers so why are we out of licenses? What is this message trying to tell me?
Thanks
Brent

Hi Bent,
According the Event ID 21, I think you might have the license connection issues with RDS CALs. I suggest you analyze some relative services and
make sure your network without any misconfiguration.
Hopefully, there is an article describes how to troubleshoot this license issue on the terminal server.
Event ID 21 — Terminal Services Client Access License (TS CAL)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/library/A98D84AC-B824-4F00-BF58-3CFF23493BF9.aspx
By the way, the license of Windows Server 2003 does not support to assign CAL to allow user to access the Windows Server 2008. You should buy a
new Windows Server 2008 license to meet the requirement above if necessary.
Hope this helps.
