Licensing a DR Server

Do end users need to purchase cold fusion enterprise licenses for servers only used for disaster recovery? I'm asking since the servers will only be active when required.

Disaster Recovery is free to use production license.
Servers purely used for disaster recovery only in the event that the primary copy has failed or is destroyed, continues to be free.

From english evaluation to dutch full licensed? (Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials)

Hello,
I've installed and evaluated Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials English.
This server edition works like a charm for my smaller projects.
I've been testing this version and I'm at 'Windows License valid for 159 days'.
Now I would like te use this setup for one of my projects, so I would like to transform this evaluation version to a full version.
I bought a full license of Windows Server 2012 R2 ESSENTIALS 1-2 CPU Dutch.
What is the best way to transform my current setup (Evalution - English) completely to a full license Dutch?
- I can buy an english version of this full version, but witch one? (It must be the correct language, because I tried changing the productkey of my evaluation english to the full dutch one, without succes)
- Install from scratch the full version and load a backup of the evalution edition? (Already tried this, this ends up running the english evaluation again)
- Any other suggestion?
Thank you very much!

I think you would have to do a migration.
You should add another Domain Controller, transfer FSMO roles.
Remove the English Essentials Server, then install the Dutch one in Migration mode.
You can then remove that second DC.

Licensing question Project server

Hello guys !
I have a 16 blade center with 4 virtual machines dedicated to a SharePoint 2013 Enterprise farm and 2 virtual machine for an SQL 2012 active/passive cluster.
I installed Project Server 2013 on all sharepoint servers for redudancy.
How many Project Server 2013 licenses do i need ?
Thanks for the help.

Hello,
Typically you need a Project Server 2013 license for each server Project Server is installed on. You have to install Project Server on all the SharePoint servers in the farm.

Licensing MS SQL Server...

Does not need A license for MSSQL Server ?

Hi Goodmira,
If you use the SQL instance that comes with Connect, you don't need an additional license, as that is free. If you use an existing SQL DB that you purchased from Microsoft, you only need 1 license. The purpose of the free instance of SQL with Connect was for those instances where there are just a few usrs and there is no need for a full-scale DB. I would not recommend using it if you have over 100 users.

OS 2008 Licensing requirements for Server with 12 Processors

I need to upgrade to Windows OS 2008 R2 on our server that has 12 processors. Was told that this server has 2 physical CPUs and each CPUs has 6 cores. Want to confirm that all I need is 2 processor license for this server.
Can you please confirm this?
Thanks

Hello,
Windows Server 2008 R2 is not more available on the market. if you want to have Windows Server 2008 R2 than you purchase Windows Server 2012 R2 and downgrade to 2008 R2.
each Windows Server 2012 R2 license(Standard or datacenter) cover up to TWO processors. it means that for your Server with 2 physical CPUs you Need just one Windows Server 2012 R2 license.
for 2008 R2, on ly the datacenter Edition was licensed with CPUs. Minimum 2 CPU licenses for each datacenter Edition.
for Windows Server the number of cores does not change the
number of licenses required.
thanks

Downgrade Windows Server 2012 License to WIndows Server 2008 R2

Hi all,
I'm looking to downgrade a windows server 2012 open license to windows server 2008 r2.
Thing is i do not have an existing windows server 2008 r2 VLK.
Can anyone confirm that this downgrade is possible, as clearinghouse is not helping by telling me that i can't buy windows server 2008 r2 licenses

Clearinghouse is right in stating you can't buy Windows Server 2008 R2
licenses anymore.
You'll need a Windows Server 2008 R2 disk kit and product key. They'll sell those to you, since you already own a license that allows you to install and use the software as part of your Windows Server 2012 license.

Migrating License to another Server

Good day everyone,
I setup a Server 2012 R2 VM and used the only license I have available to me and set the box up as a domain controller. Until my company receives its licensing I was going to setup a physical DC Server 2012 R2 evaluation and migrate services onto it
but that is not possible as you cannot upgrade the key on an evaluation version that is a DC.
I planned on doing a V2P with the VM instead but I found it was not supported by WMM 2012.
So my next idea it to take the license from my Server 2012 R2 VM and use it on the physical box but I am unsure if this is possible. Any ideas or help with the process of this would be fantastic.

Free advice is worth every cent spent.
Licensing questions should be directed to a trained Microsoft licensing specialist.
Licenses are pieces of paper granting you rights. They are assigned to physical servers. Windows Server licenses are not installed on any system. You keep track of which licenses you have assigned to which physical machines. You can
move a license from one physical machine to another physical machine once every 90 days. (All this can be found by simply reading the EULA (end user licensing agreement) that comes with every license you purchase.
From a technical standpoint, what you are doing is quite possible. From a legal standpoint, that is where you need to talk to a licensing specialist as most members of this forum most likely should not be offering legal advice to you.

License for backup server

Hi all,
I'm planning to deploy a server for my company and one of the services I'd like to activate is the Mail server.
I know how important it is to have a server always online, so I was thinking of adding a backup server as well.
Do I have to buy a new Mac OS X Server license for the backup server? I currently have an Unlimited license DVD.
Thanks
Nick

yes, licensing is per server.
if you're going to virtualize one of the servers, i believe apple allows that now, though you may still need unique licenses.

Licensing options for Server 2012 Standard Edition

I am working a proposal to a new client. Currently they have a single physical server, and 15 workstations, connected to AD;
Server 2012 standard running hyper-V - evaluation (and not attached to the domain)
On it are two virtual machines -
Domain Controller 2008 32bit - license is activated.
2nd server 2008 R2 64bit - evaluation (attached to the domain)
If they purchase a 2012 Server Standard license, with 15 user cals, I should be able to activate the two unlicensed servers?

... If you make the host a domain controller and run Hyper-V you lose your "free" VM instances...
It is my understanding that you lose one of your VM instances, not both. I was led to believe that the purpose of this restriction is to prevent someone from getting a three-for-two deal on licenses, not to lock them out of guest privileges entirely.
but in you instance the host is not licensed and one of the vm's are not licensed so you still need to get a license for the host however you go about it.
This is not quite true as worded. It's true that you have to get a license for the host in general, because Windows Server licenses always apply to a specific piece of hardware, never to a virtual machine. However, it's not necessarily true that you have
to license the management operating system (I think the licensing document calls this the physical OSE, or something like that).
If you have purchased one license of Windows Server Standard 2012 or 2012 R2 non-OEM, then you are licensed to run a maximum of two virtual instances of that same server operating system version/edition or lower on a single host with up to 2 physical CPUs.
You are also allowed to run that same operating system version/edition or lower as the management operating system without purchasing an additional license as long as it runs nothing but Hyper-V Server and services needed manage/maintain its own virtual machines.
If you do anything else in the management OS that provides services to other systems (like ADDS), then one of the guest licensing privileges is lost to cover the management OS. Any OEM licensing may have its own restrictions.
For licensing questions, it is always best to contact an authorized Microsoft reseller and ask to speak to a licensing expert. They go through training specifically for this. The call is usually free. The fines for license violations most
certainly are not. "Read it on a forum" is not good audit defense.

Shared Computer Licensing on Windows Server 2012 R2

Hello All,
I've installed Office 365 onto our Windows Server 2012 R2 server. Everything went through fine. I used the following configuration file:
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="location it's saved" OfficeClientEdition="32">
    <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
<ExcludeApp ID="InfoPath" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Project" />
<ExcludeApp ID="SharePointDesigner" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Visio" />
    </Product>
</Add>
<Updates Enabled="True" UpdatePath="\place that it is located" />
<Display Level="Full" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Logging Level="Standard" Path="%temp%" />
<Property Name="SHAREDCOMPUTERLICENSING" Value="1" />
</Configuration>
After the installation I am able to access Word 2013, etc. Once I log off of the server, and go back on I am no longer able to access Word 2013, etc. I am getting the following error:
"Sorry we are having some temporary server issues" And it loops if you click try again. Click on cancel, and we get "Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application. A repair was unsuccessful, or was cancelled. Microsoft
Office will now exit."
I've checked the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ClickToRun\Configuration
and it is there. No files were in %localappdata%\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Licensing.

Hi,
It seems to me that Office was trying to connect to the Internet for licensing, but somehow cannot connect to the server.
The error "Sorry we are having some temporary server issues" is vague, the most likely cause of the error is blockage of access to certain ports. Please first check if your firewall setting/antivirus program is blocking any Office 365 IP addresses
or ports:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh373144.aspx
Some users also reported that they were able to get rid of this by switching to a different network connection, so probably you might also want to have a try.
Hope this helps, please feel free to post back with any findings.

Office or Creative Suite with site licensing on Lion Server

Can Office or Creative Suite with site licensing reside on a mac mini server for the network to use or do the applications need to be on each computer in the network?

The big software makers constantly winge about customers must ensure they are legal regarding software licensing. However they not only don't make this easy, they actually go out of their way to make it hard in terms of purchasing, license management and auditing. We will ignore the separate issue of some of them actively ripping customers off over pricing (I am looking at you Adobe).
I can say that it was technically possible with Office 2004 for Mac to install a single volume-license version of Office on a server and run it sumultaneously on multiple client logins. I have not had the opportunity to try this with Office 2012 for Mac.
Note: I had more than enough individual Office 2004 licenses to cover the number of clients when I did this.
Another approach to investigate is the use of KeyServer from Sassafras Software. This can take a standard version of an application and wrap it with extra license management code. The KeyServer software then controls how many simultaneous copies can be run, you can even book copies out for use on a laptop you are taking out of the office. The booking would be for a fixed time limit after which it is released and no longer works until you contact the license server again.
See http://www.sassafras.com/licensing.html
I believe in the past and maybe still now, that Sassafras worked with the major software developers to enable this. I don't know whether Adobe, Microsoft, etc. are still enabling this or whether they have continued to show their stupidity by stopping this and making license management even harder. I suggest you contact Sassafras to discuss this.
Note: Even though FileMaker has serial numbers and user licenses, it is possible to easily manage things using a single serial key as FileMaker let you buy a volume license key and you are simply allowed to run up to a that specific number of simultaneous copies, there is none of the stupid hassle of product activation etc. linked to individual hardware devices.

Can a 180 trial license of Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials be converted to full use license without uninstalling

Hi,
Is it possible to convert a 180 day trial version Windows Server 2012
R2 Essentials to a full retail license? Or do I have reinstall it again?
I found this information: http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj574204
But it doesn't say anything about Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials.

Is this also true of the WSE 2012 R2 is a domain controller? The TechNet article was pretty clear that if the server is a domain controller, then you cannot convert from trial to retail (though if I read the TechNet article literally, then it looks
like that is only true for WS Standard and Datacenter).
I'm just trying to get a head start on my new server while I wait for WSE 2012 R2 to get delivered in the mail, but I would hate to migrate my DC to the trial server only to have to reinstall again!
Thanks!

Oracle Licensing for a server with Quad Core Processor

I know Oracle Standard Edition ONE is only licensed to install on a server with a max of 2 processors.
1) Now when it comes to the type of processor does it matter what type of processors they are ?
2) Can we have 2 Quad Core Processors on the server and install the Standard Edition One ( and comply to Oracle Licensing) ?
Please do not direct me to Oracle Sales Rep, I want inputs from the Oracle experts from this forum

Therefore you MUST get the final answer from someone with authority to speak on behalf of Oracle - and that is a Sales Rep.
However, in the mean time, you can read http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/sig-070616.pdf .
SPECIFICALLY LOOK AT PAGE 15. Many people (including some in this thread) are totaly wrong about how Standard Edition is licensed.
