License Key Issues

Hello Everyone--
The following is for my own personal computer. There has been so much going on that to save time, for both of us, I'll just list my situation in bullet point format and then ask the question
at the end.
* I bought a PC with an OEM copy of Windows XP
* I bought an upgrade to Windows 7
* The hard drive crashed
* I restored my Windows 7 backup to the new disk
* The registry got whacked
* I did a repair with a Windows 7 full version (not upgrade version) because my upgrade media was bad
* My license key won't work anymore -- spoke to Microsoft, 4 different phone transfers before they hung up on me--said the key was blocked
Q: If I buy a new full version of Windows 7, the same version I'm running now (W7 Pro 64-bit) will the new license key work on the current W7 I'm already running or is the key tied to the media?
I don't want to wipe my hard drive and install Windows XP and then Upgrade to W7 and have to go through all of the app installs again-- I would rather pay for a new license, but only if the
new key will work.
Merry Christmas!
and thanks,
Stephen Davis

Hi,

Acrobat 9 Pro license key issue.

Why won't my Acrobat 9 Pro license key work on the install onto my new computer?

I have two days left on my "Trial version". From what I've read in the forums, reinstalling from a link has fixed this issue with other users. Can you send me one? (This is driving me crazier than normal)

CAF License Key issue solved

Hi,
Some questions in this forum relate to the CAF license key. (This key is needed if you'd like to work with the CAS perspective in the NetWeaver Developer Studio.)
This issue is now solved: use the newest SneakPreview NetWeaver NW04s, SP7, then no license key is needed for designing CAF projects.
Here the corresponding <a href="/people/jan.rauscher/blog/2006/05/11/caf-license-key">CAF license key web log</a>

B2B Document Editor License Key Issue

Hi,
I have downloaded Oracle B2B Document Editor from OTN and installed the same without any error but while trying to use it to generate B2B guideline files (ecs and xsd files), at the very first step we are getting the error saying -
*"This feature is not available with the current type of license. Please contact [email protected] to obtain an upgraded license key."*
As a result, it is not allowing further to create the guideline files i.e. we cannot use the software.
Have anybody faced this issue? Any idea about is it expected or why this is coming or how to get rid of this?
Note: Buying a license is not an option for me as I just want to evaluate the software.
Download link I have used: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/fmw-11-download-092893.html
Thanks
Satyaki

Satyaki,
But as I understand installing b2b doc editor does not have any dependency with SOA installation as such and it can be installed at any Standard Windows machine with no SOA in it. So, has this concept changed in case of this latest version? Should the latest doc editor version can be installed only where soa is installed? Your understanding is correct. B2B Doc Editor is independent of SOA and that patch should be applied into SOA environment(SOA Suite 11g R1 (11.1.1.5.0)) release to use complete health care features in SOA which are already available in Doc Editor 11.1.1.5.0
Moreover, will the guideline files generated using this doc editor NOT work if used with soa suite version 11.1.1.3? You are not supposed to use B2B Doc Editor 11.1.1.5.0 version with SOA Suite 11.1.1.3.0
I will personally suggest you to use SOA 11.1.1.4.0 and B2B Doc editor 11.1.1.4.0 if you are working on any evaluation.

Updating license key issue

I am attempting to move the SAP B1 application to a different server (pointing to the same database server).
In doing so I have been told I needed to request a new license key. I have done that however when I try to import the license key into the SAP B1 client (from the Administration->License->License Administration program) I get the following error:
wrong license file; hardware key does not match.
I retrieved the hardware key from the SAP B1 Server Suite Manager that is running on this new application server (from the Settings on the License Manager service).
Also, the License Server that appears on the License Administration dialog still points to the original server. I have tried typing in the new server's name but cannot.
By the way I am trying to make this change in the QA enviornment. We are running a W2003 server and serving the SAP B1 client up via citrix. SAP B1 client and server are installed on the same server.
Any suggesitons would be helpful.
Thanks,
Mike

Both. In the SAP Business One License Manager ->Settings -> Connection details you might like to change the default port number 30000. In order to check your firewall on the server refer to the documentation of the used firewall.

Unfortunately the server name reverts back to the original server name (which is, by the way, still operational--does that make a difference?)
You can have running the license server on another Server than the one on which SAP Business One Server application is installed. However it will revert back (to last known 'good' license server) as long no valid license file has been importet to the new license server.

Try to download the license file directly from the Webpage, sometimes the files get corrupted, if sent by email.

Demo License key issue in Cisco Content Secuirty managment Virtual appliance

Hi,
I have installed a Cisco content security management appliance for customer evaluation. I have downloaded 45 day demo license key but unable to update the license key neither in GUI nor in CLI. I have referred installation guide and user guide but did not helped at all.
Snapshot from GUI

Would suggest to re-copy and paste the XML license - as most likely you have extra white space that is causing the malform when pasting/loading. If using Windows, try avoid using wordpad --- and use Notepad++ or similar.

Hi,
1. Currently, the 'request keycode' process for external customers is to first logon to http://service.sap.com/licensekey. Look for the "Service Corner" and click on "Request license key".
If you have any problems with this process, please create a Customer Message in the SAP Support Portal using the following component: XX-SER-LIKEY-BOJ
2. During the BusinessObjects migration to SAP systems, if you experience difficulties requesting keys, keycode issues can still also be requested by completing the form at http://www.businessobjects.com/forms/email/license/
3. A PDF document containing temporary license keys can be downloaded at http://service.sap.com/licensekey
4. For any license key issues that cannot be resolved by these methods, please contact your Account Manager.

I am having to reinstall Adobe Pro because of a hard drive failure. I have lost the License Key and need to know how to retrieve it so I can reinstall the product.

How do I retrieve the Adobe Pro License key/# so I can reinstall on my computer. I had to have the hard drive replaced due to failure and don't have the necessary information to reinstall Adobe Pro.

As this was a 1,000 USD + purchase I did registered back in 2008 when I got my copy of "Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium". And now I'm in the same situation as you. I did go to manage my account and found my serial number.
My disk crashed completely and I got everything back and running from my Time Machine backup. A few days ago Illustrator said there was a licensing issue. I tried all their gradual solutions up to the very last one: Reinstalling.
I did that and inserted the Serial number; it worked. Now that I'm opening the Adobe Acrobat Pro it requires me to input the serial and it says is invalid!
Anyone has an idea about this?

And i also called up at HP customer service they told me that from wherever i have purchased the product. the retailer should have provided me Product key. i purchased it online. if i provide them with the product key.they will help me to download the software.
hence, i am not able to download the free software that i am provided with pendrive.please open the link. if there is any help that you can provide i shall be thankful to you..thanking you

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. The link you have typed is incorrect. Please use the correct Web address: http://www.nortonactivate.com/Campaign/fm1301 for the redemption. Enter the code you got along with the pendrive and provide any other details as requested. You will get the Product key for activation with a valid subscription of 1 year. In meantime, you can download a 30 day trial of Norton AntiVirus from our web site:http://us.norton.com/downloads-trial-norton-antivirus Once you get the Product key, you can simply complete the activation and continue to use it for 1 year. Thanks!HarryNorton Support

ASA 5505 Failure replaced and need to move the license key?

Can someone point me in the right direction? My ASA 5505 died due to a power surge and I swapped it with a spare. I had Security Plus and a 50 user license and need to move the license keys from the failed ASA 5505 to the new one. I kept both my emails with the activation keys, but not sure how I get this transferred? Thanks in advance.
Joe

I think this is totally unacceptable. For anyone else who uses a 5505 at home and has bought licenses and the hardware out of their own pocket, the idea here should be that you've already bought the hardware and the license. Seems obvious, right?
Yes I can see the license being device specific if not only because that's the way you've designed your licensing activation schema; but if I've just had your product fail and bought another replacement, there should be an understanding or agreement between Cisco and the user that we can reinstate any licenses we've already bought.
Do you really believe it's fair to make someone buy something from you twice, something that they've already bought from you? Do you actually believe that? I believe that the people in the Cisco Licensing department would agree with my viewpoint and I have a pending case with them for this issue right now. I will post my result here.
Make your products last and perhaps I can give credence to your licensing beliefs, until then your products fail and so does your licensing logic.

SAP license key error: no valid license found: cannot log into SAP GUI

I deleted temp license from slicense on SM box, since I had already installed new digital license from SAP. Well, later I tried to log in again and was locked out. After some research, I found "sap license check failed" in the log files, java will not come up, and the hardware key has changed on me, so the valid license that was active before is not showing up now.
I applied for a new license with new hardware key and attempted to install from cmd prompt, using saplicense -install ifile=c:license.txt, but it gets an error. I put a trace on it and appears it cannot read license file key. I also tried to install another temp license, but that failed since no other previous valid license was found. At this point, I'm thinking I need to manually insert the license key into the database, but not sure what table or exactly how. SAP has not provided a solution yet.
I believe the hardware key changed due to renaming the server (we took out a hyphen in name) and had also reinstalled afterwards.
Has anyone else run into this issue?

Yes, I wish it were that simple, but I cannot even bring up the logon screen. SAP GUI returns a message, resource temporarily unavailable. I looked in SAP MMC syslog and found several entries, "SAP-Basis System: No license found for hardware ID DLIC_HWIDKE"
I tried to install temp license from cmd prompt, but it says refuses and says no old or expired license found. I also tried to install the new license I applied for from SAP with new hardware key using saplicense -install ifile=license.txt and that failed as well.
For NW2004s, is it even possible to install a digital license using cmd prompt?
Ben

Retrieve License Keys to software if mac does not start up

I have a white MacBook running 10.6 Snow Leopard. I received it from a friend that had forgotten the admin pass, but is was still useable, as there was a standard user on it with no password that I could use. I then needed to install some new software, which required the admin password, so I followed the steps here to reset the password.
However, once I rebooted the Mac, it became stuck on the Apple Logo.
I have tried several different ways to make the Mac boot (start up from Install DVD and repair disk, run steps to reset password again), but none of them work. I know that I could simply use the install disk to reinstall the OS, but I have quite a lot of expensive software that I do not want to lose (Photoshop, Illustrator etc).
I have been able to gain access to the Hard Drive using Target Disk mode, but I know from previous experience that if I simply copy the applications across to an external HD, reinstall the OS and copy back, it will ask me for a license key (which I do not have).
Is there any solution to my problem?
Is there a file I should edit to make my computer boot?
Is there a location where Adobe programs store their license keys that I could copy to prevent me losing my software?
Thanks in advance

If your getting to the log in window you are NOT on the OS Install Disc..
Just make sure you have the disc in the drive and Then shut down by holding the power button down... Then restart holding down the "C" key... If the disc ejects.. keep holding "C" and pull the disc out one inch then gently slide back in.. Keep holding C.... You will get a few screens then the install screen... STOP.. go to utility's menu at the Top of window... open "disk Utility".. highlight your FULL HD.. Click the button to the right ..OK Heres the deal.. I would erase/ re format the HD.. You will resolve any issue with the bad install.. But remember you will have a blank HD so if you didnt back up.. Well... Then Do your Install.. Nice and clean ... Best of luck....

Hey robr72339266,
With a single user license, you can install Acrobat on maximum two computers, say, your laptop at work and desktop at office.
But, you cannot use Acrobat on both the machines simultaneously.
You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine, then install and activate the software on the new OS with the same serial key.
Please Contact | Adobe to seek help on the same.

Anubha
