Licensing restrictions on RE-use of HP (small business) notebook HW components?

Licensing restrictions on RE-use of HP (small business) notebook HW components?
I realize that it is illegal to use some of the (OEM) software that was distributed with the refurbished HP nw8440 Mobile Pro Workstation (small business HP Compaq notebook) I bought (direct from HP) on a different computer system (than the one the software came with).
My question, though concerns the hardware (hard disk, keyboard, memory modules, speakers, mouse, etc.) components that came with it.
Specifically, is it legal for me to use such hardware components on a different computer system (than the one the software came with), or even to sell it, give it away, or dispose of it (separately from the HP computer system that it came with)?
The reason I ask is that one of the licensing agreements that came with the system said something like:
The initial user of the product may make a one-time transfer of the product to another end-user. ... The transfer may not be an indirect transfer, such as a consignment.
and I'm retiring this (Windows XP) computer, and am unfamiliar with such licensing terms.
I just started using its hard drive in an older desktop we have whose hard drive failed.
I believe that should be OK license-wise, but it made me wonder what restrictions, if any, I might have on other future uses of such hardware.
Thank you.

P.S. - Please forgive me if this is not the right place to ask this question. I wasn't sure where to ask it.

CS4 student licensing restrictions on commercial use?

I have a question concerning using a student licensed CS4 for commercial purposes after one is out of school. I've just spent several hours researching this topic and talking to a service representative via the chat only to increase my confusion. Some posts say yes, some say no, some say no only to non-US users, some seem to say yes to education editions but no to student licensing versions (if there is a difference?), and the rep I talked to said no.
So, to be safe, I'm asking here: can I use my Student Licensing CS4 Design Standard version to do commercial work with after I'm out of school? I bought it while in college legitimately, its the kind that you have to visit the student licensing web page on adobe.com in order to get the serial number for. However, I have seen multiple conflicting answers on the forums concerning this version. I do not know if "Student License" versions are the same as "Student Edition" versions, or "Education Edition" versions, or "Teacher Edition" versions, or if any of those last three are even actual versions.
To be clear, the word "edition" does not appear at all on my CS4 Student Licensing package. The package cover art has a white background with a vertical line in the middle of it that is made up of red gradients.
This question is from someone who both currently lives in, and bought the Student Licensing version of CS4 in, the United States. (2009)
Thank you for your help!

There are no restrictions against you using your student-licensed version of CS4 (either any of the suites or individual programs) for commercial work other than that you may not sell or otherwise transfer your license to anyone else.

What does "Personal Use Only" for small business owners mean?

For small businesses or Sole-Proprietors, computers they use for business are also the machines being used for personal use. If I understand the new Mac App Store license correctly, you cannot ethically purchase an app on the App Store that will be used for business use. If that is the case, the greatest oxymoron is that they have a "Business" section in the App Store.
I truly LOVE how easy the App Store makes managing one's apps, but if I have to now deal with seperating all purchases based on it's overall use, they have just complicated the small business scene for small business owners.
I fully understand them wanting to discourage a large business from purchasing, for example, Aperture, once and installing it on 100+ machines. But if that is what they're trying to avoid, why not be more specific in the terms of the updated App Store license info. Instead, they are shooting down any and all use of anything purchased in the App Store for business.
Any other small business owners facing the same situation?

Here is a clause from the Terms and Conditions, which can be found at http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#APPS
*Begin quote*
(ii) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download a Mac App Store Product for use either (a) by a single individual on each of the Mac Product(s) that you own or control, or (b) by multiple individuals on a single shared Mac Product that you own or control. For example, a single employee may use a Mac App Store Product on both the employee’s desktop Mac Product and laptop Mac Product, or multiple students may serially use the Product on a single Mac Product located at a resource center or library.
*End quote*
It seems that as long as you abide by these guidelines, you can use App Store apps for business.

Using WLC in Small business

Hello,
Let me first start out by saying I am new to configuring WLC's.
Our small business (5-15 wireless devices + 15ish wired) is trying to use a hand-me-down WLC and AP for our office wifi.
We have a WLC2106 directly connected to a 1231G-A-K9 via the WLC's port 8 POE. I am aware Cisco does not recommend this method, but we do not have a configurable switch at our disposal. We do not need separate VLAN's therefore I have left everything untagged. The AP has a static IP setup to allow communication to the WLC since it did not pull one from the WLC. The AP is getting the correct network information and is showing up on the WLC monitoring page. I am able to connect to the new wireless network and able to ping between devices connected to the same AP. Now here is my question/issue. I cannot get communication from the WLC/AP to the rest of our network via an unconfigurable Netgear switch (FS605v3). After connecting an open switch port from the Netgear switch to port 4 on the WLC, I am lost. I tried giving port 4 on the WLC an address on the office network, but I receive an error stating "the IP information conflicts with another device". ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is what I have setup on WLC
Virtual - 1.1.1.1
MNG IP-192.168.10.10
AP MNG Ip- 192.168.10.11
Subnet - /24
Gateway - 192.168.10.1
DHCP - 192.168.10.250
DNS - 192.168.10.250
Static Address on the AP's fa0-192.168.10.15
Attempted port 4 setup on WLC
VLAN identifier 0
IP- 192.168.10.25
Mask - /24
Gateway - 192.168.10.1
Port - 4
Our office network setup:
Subnet - /24
Gateway-192.168.10.1
DHCP - 192.168.10.250
DNS - 192.168.10.250

Plug one WLC interface (lets say Port 1) in to your netgear switch and configure the WLC as;
Management Interface - Port 1, 192.168.10.10, 255.255.255.0 GW=.1 VLAN=0, DHCP Server = 192.168.10.250
AP Manager Interface - 192.168.10.11, 255.255.255.0 GW=.1 VLAN=0
Virtual Interface 192.0.2.1 (or 1.1.1.1 will be fine, but it is a routable address these days)
Make sure these addresses aren't in use and are not part of your DHCP IP Address pools. Delete any other interfaces you have created during your play time with the WLC.
Plug the AP in to your netgear switch and configure it as;
192.168.10.12 /24
Configure the WLAN on your WLC to use the "Management" Interface
At this point, you should be in business
If not, Telnet/SSH to the WLC and grab a "show run" output... Post it on here and somebody will help.

I have been on line all day, looking for all these things, or how to go about it. I live in a community, that only uses pc's and not a lot of resources. So any help you can give me would be great. Or direct me to the right place.

How can I purchase an unlimited license for CS6 for small business use?

How can I purchase an unlimited license for CS6 for use by a small business? We need to be able to use CS6 tools on at least 6 different computers, both macs and PCs.
Do I have to purchase CS6 from another individual or business and transfer the license or is it still somehow available through Adobe? How can I determine how many users are allowed and the price of the product? Do I have to purchase the entire Creative Suite, or can I just purchase an unlimited license for Photoshop 6 only?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You should contact Adobe support to get information on licensing mutliple machines.

Looking for a replacement for quicken home and small business.

I run a small business out of my home and have used Quicken Home & Small Business for years. I still do by running Windows on my Mac via VMWare Fusion. I need a product that will handle business accounts and personal accounts just like Quicken does.
Does anyone know of a suitable replacement? I am sick of Windows, but love the functionality Quicken Home & Small Business offers.
Thanks!

I switched to SEE Finance last week. The support is good and they state they are going to make several more upgrades to the product. Right now, no check printing. I have been able to download from Wells Fargo with no problem and the conversion from Quicken 2007 went as advertised. Free to download and use - the $29 license fee gets rid of the invitation to purchase and register that pops up when you start the program. Otherwise, there are no features you are locked out of.

Can't use my own font due to license restriction?

I created my own font ("GoudyMusic") using fontlab.com | TypeTool3. When I try to 'print' to a pdf using Adobe PDF, I get:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: GoudyMusic cannot be embedded because of licensing restrictions. ]%%
%%[ Font vendor (Macromedia) does not permit this font to be embedded in PDF. ]%%
[Warning] The font GoudyMusic could not be embedded because of licensing restrictions.
Text may display incorrectly on platforms that do not have this font installed.
%%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: show; ErrorInfo: CharOffsets º %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Help help!
THANX!
william zeitler

Apparently fontlab.com's TypeTool3 does not allow you to set licensing, and it defaults to 'not-embeddable'.
You have to upgrade to Fontographer (another $300) to be able to set the licensing. Now that I've done that, it works.

Myriad Roman licensing restrictions on someone else's template:

Hello!
To elaborate - I'm working on a CD artwork, and I'd like to upload all the designs as PDFs. This is the first time I've done work on these documents on the computer I'm on now, and when I went to save my Illustrator file to a PDF after some new edits, I got a message that the font Myriad-Roman would not embed because of licensing restrictions. Where there used to be some text in the template, there is now just a bunch of gibberish.
I'm at a loss, because the font is not something I've placed in the document, it's a font that was part of the template I'm working with from disc makers. I don't know how to fix the issue, or how to get around it. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.

Hi Dov,
While I'm not specifically sure about the font's origins, I am positive it is not part of the Myriad Pro family, as that has been a part of my font library since purchasing the Adobe CS6 package a couple of years ago, and has worked fine the whole time. From what I could tell in other searches and forum answers here, Myriad Roman is part of an older font package distributed by Adobe. With that being said, I may still be able to find something off if I check the file access privileges, so I will try that.
The reason I'm not sure how to resolve the issue is because the template is still vital as part of the files that I need to send off. I'm not familiar enough with their workflow to know whether or not changing something like that in the template could accidentally affect their ability to use the data to print the images. I think the chances of causing a problem by just changing the font in the template to Myriad Pro are small/negligible, but until I can contact the company tomorrow I won't know for sure.
My hope was that there was some kind of fix for the licenses/authorization, or that there was some original files I could buy/download to have the proper rights to use the font in the template and just not worry about it.
If you've got any other useful information that could help in those regards, I would be extremely grateful!

I get this message "Cannot save the file as the font "ArmenianLSU-italic" could not be embedded because of licensing restrictions. Turn off the pdf compatibility option and try again. I have this file from when I had CS4. It worked then. I trying to make

I get this message when I am trying to save a file that was done in CS4, now using CS6 "Cannot save the file as the font "ArmenianLSU-italic" could not be embedded because of licensing restrictions. Turn off the pdf compatibility option and try again." Even if I start a new file I unable to save it with this font. I need to use this font.

Then you need to outline all text before savng the PDF.
Make sure you do this on a copy of the file.

Dolby Audio Decode Licensing Restriction

I have used the same video camera Canon which shoots AVCHD for 2 years now and had Adobe CS 5 Production Premium for Windows, CS 5.5 for Mac and now Creative Cloud on both a Mac and Windows 7 64 bit computer. No problems inputting the same footage week after week until about 2 months ago. Now on the Windows PC the audio in my video does not get conformed when videos are imported. Instead I get a "Dolby Audio Decode Licensing Restriction for <my path to .MTS file> This installation does not have a license to decode Dolby Digital audio.". Did Adobe put out a Creative Cloud update that broke something? I do not have this problem on the Mac. But the Windows PC is my video production machine and needs to be working again. Please help.

I unsintalled and reinstalled PP CS 6. When I imported the files again, 2 of them no longer gave the error and conformed the audio, but 2 other files gave a new error (forget what that one was) and did not conform. I got the camera back today as these were videos copied from the camera memory to SD card, then onto hard drive. Connecting the camera directly I was able to copy directly from the camera to my computer and when I import that file into PP, it can conform the audio no problem.
Also, one of the videos was supposedly corrupted and could not load at all that was copied from the SD card and was the same when reading the card directly from my Mac and PC. I was able to copy it directly from camera to hard drive and it imported with no issues.
Could it be that a bad sector on the SD card causes the video to be corrupted when copied, then transferred bad video to PC? Should that cause PP to throw this licensing issue though? Adobe should at least know under what coding circumstances they would throw such a specific error. Maybe it could instead say the audio in the video is corrupt or something. I will update this again if next time something different happens again.

Font Licensing Restriction Issue

I recently transferred a lot of ttf and otf fonts (originally purchased for and used on a Windows NT machine) to Mac Book Pro. When I try to use the fonts in Abode CS5.5 (In illustrator) I'm told I need a license. Won't let me embed the fonts, for example, when saving to a PDF. (1) Is this a Mac issue or an Adobe issue? (2) How do I resolve?
The Illustrator message reads: "The font [name] could not be embedded in the PDF document because of licensing restrictions. Stroked text will not be visible."

It may be the Mac is more up-to-date with font restriction enforcement, dunno, you may have to Google it. I've run into this for years, generally with free fonts, so before I am ready to produce the final PDF I just outline the font which works fine for print pieces of all sizes but not for online documents with many pages due to file size as the outline shapes are certainly larger in file size than font references based on shapes in fonts that can be embedded.
You may want to consider asking the font developer first before purchasing again as just repurchasing may not get rid of a "non-embed" setting in a file if that is what the font developer wants there.
So your options are: use your old Windows workflow, outline fonts, or contact the font developer. Nothing else anyone on discussion boards can do for you.
