License key requirement for OSX server

I am confused about the licensing requirements for commercial copies of OSX server. I have an old G5 Xserve that came with no software and the system drive was toast. I have been running Ubuntu on it and hardware-wise it is fine. However I would like to get it running OSX server, preferably Leopard as I think that is the last version that is compatible with the PPC hardware.
Anyway I am confused about the software license. If I buy a copy of Leopard server from Ebay or another source, should it come with the license number or whatever is needed, or was this only available as part of the original hardware issue? If so, is there anyway to recover this from the hardware or from Apple so that I can run this as intended.
Thanks.

Couple of things:
OS X Server 10.5 is the terminal system for the PPC G5 systems so that's where you should be looking.
You do need a serial number for OSXS and that should come with whatever discs you purchase. (There's a sticker on the outside of the disc wrapper like most software.)
The Xserve came with system disks but I don't think Apple has a policy of resupplying OSXS system disks if you lose your originals, if that's what you're asking.
The good news is that G5 Xserves are much more liberal about accepting non-Apple replacement disks so you're probably ready once you get the system disks.

  • When i try to install iPlanet App Server on NT, I do not get screen to enter license key valid for evaluation. --- " cache File Read error"

    When i try to install iPlanet App Server on NT, I do not get screen to enter license key valid for evaluation.
    Also during installation screens an error window is displayed saying "cache File Read error -- Could not read ProductKey entry from the cache file "

    Hi,
    I also get the following message:
    "Could not read ProductKey entry from the cache file"
    I have no idea how to provide the installation software with the key. I also tried "keycheck.exe"
    Do you have a solution for this problem? Did you finish the installation?

  • Cloud Backup for OSX Server

    I'm trying to figure out what the best option is for a cloud based backup for OSX Server.
    Ideally:
    1.  Does not require a local user to be logged in on the server to function
    2.  Able to include/exclude files/folders
    3.  Bonus:  Cloud based sharing of folders (like dropbox, which just doesn't work well on OSX Server and of course isn't a backup option)
    Recs?

    CrashPlan Pro service.
    Works well with OS X Server, retains permissions, ext attributes, ACLs, etc.
    $8/month unlimited
    They do have an iOS app that lets you access your archive and save archived files to the ios device.
    Some people have issues with java memory.. In general, I have fewer issues with this than other systems.
    I backup about 180 machines (almost half are servers) with crashplan pro or crashplan pro enterprise.

  • (Deployment) Minimum Software required for BUILD server and IIS WebServer

    We have a simple .Net SDK application written using VB-2005 and the Crystal Reports XI (R2) DEVELOPER package.
    The RPT files are posted on our BOE-XI (R2) server, and are called using the View-On-Demand method from the Page Server (similar to the SDK sample application). At some point in the future, our .Net applications may invoke some of the other SDK content types.
    In our environment, the .NET web-applications are checked-in to Clear Case, and then sent to a stand-alone BUILD server to be compiled. The compiled .NET web-applications are then posted to a stand-alone IIS WebServer (not the IIS server that hosts BOE InfoView/CMC).
    The BUILD server and IIS WebServer have to be as "stripped-down" as possible in order to go through our QAT and Impact Analysis process.
    So far we have had success if we deploy the SDK-only install from the Crystal Reports XI (R2) DEVELOPER package, and the service packs, but it doesn't include all the SDK components for other BOE content types.
    If we deploy the Client-only install from the BOE-XI (R2) package, and the service packs - it doesn't seem to include the CR-Viewer which we need. But it does includes a bunch of extra software (eg. UNIVERSE DESIGNER) on the desktop of the BUILD server and IIS WebServer that our QA guys don't like.
    What are the Minimum Software required for BUILD server and IIS WebServer to support CR and BOE SDKs...?
    Are there any install packages that contain JUST those components, and not all the extra software that is not needed to Build/Deploy in .NET...?
    Thanks in advance for the advice.

    Due to the CrystalDecisions.web.dll for the 2.0 framework being left off the BOE CD you will need to install the Crystal XI R2 runtimes as well as the BOE SDK.
    To get the BOE SDK launch the Enterprise XI R2 installer and choose Server Install - not Client Install.  Choose a Custom install.  You'll be presented with a drop down list for the Enterprise components.  Deselect everything and then look for the Developer Components option.  You may have to drill down into one of the levels to find it.  Under Developer Components you'll see the BusinessObjects Enterprise .NET SDK.  Select it to install it.

  • What are the essential services that are required for ensuring server is healthy up ?

    Hi All,
    Please advise me What are the essential services that are required for ensuring server is healthy up ?
    Warm regards,
    jk1510

    The easiest way to find the Health report of server or workstation follow the below steps which is very much easiest way to get it done
    There are a few ways to find this in Windows Server 2008.
    First click “Start” and type “Generate a system health report”
    Or second navigate your way to the Control Panel choose “System and Security” and choose “Generate a system health report”.
    The last is to type “Generate a system health report” into the “Search Control Panel” box in the upper right hand corner of the Control Panel window.
    Once armed with this data it’s easier to refute or acknowledge an issue is at hand.
    BTW if you’re looking for this same thing in Windows 7 it’s there just buried a bit more.
    Search Performance in the Start Menu, choose “Performance Information and Tools”, click “Advanced Tools” from the menu on the left, and finally choose “Generate a system
    health report”.

    Hi Vijay,
    If you are installing Project Server on SharePoint farm, You need to start the service Project Application Service which would be available after you install project Server 2013.
    For Project Server Reporting you need to start Excel service and Secure Store service.

  • Requirements for managing Server Core

    Hello,
    What are the requirements for managing Server Core? We have a Windows 2008 functional level forest and domain and were thinking about installing 2012 server core servers but weren't sure we'd be able to manage them with 2008 server or Windows 7 tools.
    Thanks,
    Robert

    Hi Robert,
    To remotely manage a server in server core mode, we can use the following ways:
    Remotely using Windows PowerShell
    Remotely using Server Manager
    Remotely using an MMC snap-in
    Remotely with Remote Desktop Services
    However, we can’t use server manager in Windows Server 2008 or in RSAT for Windows 7 to remotely manage Windows Server 2012 in server core mode. To
    use server manager to remotely manage Windows Server 2012 in server core mode, we must use the version of Server Manager in Windows Server 2012 or that is available as part of the Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 download package.
    Regarding how to manage a Windows Server 2012 in server core mode, the following articles can be referred to for more information.

  • Seeking best practice for disaster recovery for osx server

    I am seeking a solid disaster recovery solution. I would be happy if it complements Time Machine, but I don't require that.
    I use DAR2 for the linux systems, but with the aid of nice UI provided by the distro vendor. It provides all the files necessary to follow up a clean base OS install with a file restore to provide a full recovery from a disaster.
    I just placed a new Mac Mini Server with the Promise Tech DS4600 in service, so I am eager to put a plan in place.
    What do other Mac OS Server users do?
    I would be most grateful for links to articles, products and suggestions.

    For anyone who comes across this post, here is what I settled on:
    The server is a mac mini server and is configured with RAID 1 over the two hard disks. I use DAR to backup the linux boxes to the OSX Server. Carbon Copy Cloner is used to backup the OSX Server to a 2 terabyte storage array.
    Hopefully this will suffice for the time being. I continue to look for better approaches.

  • License Database required for Application on Cloud

    Dears,
    We have planning to deploy our ERP Application on Cloud (With Cloud Provider), and we use Oracle for database.
    So we want to ask about Licenses Required of database if we want to move our Application to Cloud. Becouse that's issue for our cloud provider.
    We need this information as soon as possible.
    Thanks & regards,
    Iwan K

    You can find info on our licensing here:
    http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/1523
    http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/449
    See sections 3.6 and 4.9
    From my reading of it, the free licenses that are obtained by registering are only valid for development purposes only - not deployment as you are doing.  So I believe that a professional license will need to be obtained for each server that the product will be deployed to.
    Note: I am not a sales rep / lawyer - so I would recommend talking to someone on our sales team who can give you a better idea of the requirements - what I have stated above is my opinion.

  • List of sql services required for deployment server?

    What are the role of list of sql services in case of BizTalk, like notification service is required for BAM.
    Along with can any one let me know the minimum services of SQL required on production.
    1.Database Engine Services
     SQL Server Replication
      Full-Text Search
    2.Analysis Services
    3.Reporting Services
    4.Shared Features
     Business Intelligence Development Studio
     Client Tools Connectivity
     Integration Services
     Management Tools – Basic
    Is it mandatory to install  analysis, integration services on production server.
    Please suggest!
    Fred

    Sorry, that is not correct.  SQL components beyond Database Services are required in most circumstances.
    It's important you understand what to install based on your application requirements.
    The definitive guides can be found here:
    BizTalk Server 2009:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4066
    BizTalk Server 2010:

    BizTalk Server 2013:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj248688(v=bts.80).aspx
    As a matter of practice, I always install all BizTalk realted SQL Server features, even if they are not used.  This is for consistency across environments, reliable patching and to accomodate any future BizTalk app features.

  • Minimum requirements for home server

    I am looking to get a cheap iMac, Mini or iBook to use as a home server to run iTunes 24/7. I will be attaching an external HD for storage space for my media and will stream wirelessly to Apple TV over 802.11g using an Airport Express. What would be the minimum requirement for such a setup? Would the minimum requirement be what the latest version of iTunes require?
    Message was edited by: Mac4lfe

    Hi Mac4lfe: If you want to SYNCH between the Mac and the ATV, then any G3 will do, just expect the synching to be slow. If you want to STREAM from the Mac to ATV, then a G3 will do for music but not for video. If you want to stream video, a G4 will do, but you will get a lot of beachballs when you do anything on iTunes and sometimes the streaming will fail. I suggest you get the cheapest Intel Mac, you will have a much better experience when streaming. Lastly, remember you will need a screen for the Mini, there will always be warnings, error messages, updates, etc in iTunes that you need a screen, mouse and keyboard for. Very lastly, you can just get the ATV and buy music, TV shows, Movies and rent movies without a Mac. 160GP shall be enough. I have 40 movies, 20 full TV seasons and 6000 songs and am just over 400GB.

  • Is a license key needed for SAP WAS 6.40 sp16  sneak preview edition

    Hello Guys,
    I have a basic question regarding license key. Do I have to request a license from http://service.sap.com/licensekey from sap for the sneak preview evaluation edition?
    I think it is nowhere mentioned in the downloads page for the WAS 6.40 J2EE Edition.
    But I was reading in couple of other posts that the system runs for only 30 mins after the first installation somthing like that. I am confused.
    Please clarify.
