Licensing rules question...

Especifically on Named User - Multi Server
In my company we have (by expample, not actual number ) 200 NUMS Licenses
How do i Check if we havent reached more Named Users than the Licensed ones...
Reading the Definitions and General Licensing Rules, i have my dubts interpreting
"Individual authorized by Custumer to use the programs which are instaled on multiple servers."
So far i have this options on my mind...
1. I wonder if that means Any single "user" created within the database (DBA_USERS)
2. or the MAx number of active connections to the database at any given time
Can someone explain it to me... (with a sample if possible) :(

Hi,
>>I wonder if that means Any single "user" created within the database (DBA_USERS)
There are no relation with license nominated users and active sessions / number of schemas (DBA_USERS) on the database.
eg:
If you have 200 licenses nominated users, then you can even have 200 users (employees)
using Oracle Database. Then, you can have 200 employees open 1000 sessions on your database connected in 1000 different schemas without problems.
Otherwise, If you have a license by CPU, then there are no limits...
If I will wrong, please someone correct me...
Cheers

  • How do i get win 8.1. *pro* for mac parallels, deauthorizing win 8.1 pro and license rules for windows vms

    ok, i've seen this question asked a number of times.  i know the general procedure:
    - first download some installer things to a window box so i can make a bootable DVD / flash drive
    - go the mac and use the DVD / usb stick to install the virtual machine
    great.. BUT :
    1) unfortunately, i'm still really confused at the  most basic part which is where (link) do i actually get the initial download thing to create the 8.1 *PRO* from microsoft and where (link) / how do i pay for the subscription key to install the thing???? 
    i keep seeing a link for windows 8 or windows 8.1 where windows PRO is NEVER mentioned.  i ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE a) PRO 64 bit and NOT vanilla windows and b) it MUST BE A FULL INSTALL (i'm not upgrading from windows 7, 8 or 8.1 NON pro..  i'm going
    to be installing this thing on a brand new system.
    i'm an IT guy for two decades and i can tell you trying to find, download, install a clean version of windows 8.1 PRO is a royal pita and nothing about windows 8.1 PRO is intuitive on the MS site.  it's almost as if they do NOT want you to install the
    thing.   i'm not trying to bust jewels here, i'm just being honest and providing feedback that you folks need to make this much more clear and intuitive.  people really shouldN'T have to post on forums to find out how to purchase, download and enter
    in a subscription key for a base version of an OS.  it's crazy.
    2) once i can figure out how to download, install and register the darn thing ;)... i'm curious how the licensing works.
    2a) first if my windows 8.1 pro experiment on mac parallels sucks, i want to be able to remove the authorization so i can reinstall 8.1 pro on another system.   can i / how do i do this in my scenario?
    2b) i actually already bought windows pro 8.1 about a year ago (to upgrade a laptop that came with 8 that i needed to upgrade to vanilla 8.1 then to finally to pro) so that i could windows phone 8.1 development with simulator on the laptop.  unfortunately
    the laptop maxed out at 4G and the performance of the emulator was ridiculously slow that it's unusable.  i'd love to somehow be able to put the laptop back to windows *vanilla* 8.1 and reclaim my 8.1 pro that i *already* purchased by removing the authorization
    from that laptop allowing me to reinstall the full 8.1 pro with the same key on the mac with parallels.  then i can sell the laptop that has sat there collecting dust for a year and regain my windows 8.1 pro investment vs having to buy another copy for
    the mac. 
    i have no idea how to do this though i think it should be possible.  can anybody tell me where / how i do this?
    note the win pro 8.1 install never went well so i actually had some guy from MS login to my laptop remotely and do the install.. in doing so i believe he wiped away the original windows vanilla 8.1 recovery partition asus put on the drive meaning i'm not
    sure i can get the laptop back to 8.1  or 8 vanilla so i can resell it functionally to another person while removing my 8.1 *pro* license from it.   any suggestions here highly welcome.
    2c)  once i get the windows 8.1 pro installed in a vm under parallels, i'll have one licensed copy running.  my guess is that is what i'm limited to.  but when you start working with VMs the whole purpose is to be able to create multiple test
    enviornments and dispose of them when you don't need them etc.   since the window will be tied to the single mac hw id, will i be able to install multiple *win* vms (duping an exising win vm for instance) from the one license  or must i purchase
    multiple win licenses for each win vm on the SAME system?   if you need a new license for each vm, wouldn't i have to do a FULL WINDOWS INSTALL every time i wanted to create another windows VM.. THAT IS CRAZILY INEFFICIENT...
    there has to be some kind of option to dup a windows licensed vm on the SAME system yes?  what are the rules / procedures for making this work.
    i'm using parallels on mac as an example but the same question would apply to using hyperV (which i know nothing about at this point) as the virtual host platform as well.
    i'm open to well thought out links that actually answer these questions succinctly in addition to comments here
    thanks in advance

  • Office 2013 Volume License Activation question

    Hello,
    we have software assurance, so MAK and KMS are available for O2013.
    I cannot use KMS server (there are reasons for now). So I have to use MAK. I know that it is possible later on to convert MAK to KMS.
    I found topic about ADBA. But missing few points from the description after my 2 questions.
    1. Can I use KMS key for use with Volume Activation Tool without actually having KMS installed?
    2.  at the end it says just 180 days activation. What will happen then?
    From:
    http://searchenterprisedesktop.techtarget.com/tip/Using-Active-Directory-activation-and-other-new-Office-2013-tools
    -------Prior to Office 2013, IT had to rely on Multiple Activation Key (MAK) or Key Management Service (KMS) activation. These processes were generally more complex than ADBA. Little has changed with either MAK or KMS in Office 2013. With ADBA, however,
    IT can easily
    activate Office 2013 clients through their connections to the domain.
    To implement ADBA, administrators must use the Volume Activation Tools utility, which walks them through the setup process. After admins supply the KMS host key, the setup process adds an activation object to the
    Active Directory Domain Services. The activation object uses the same Generic Volume Licenses Key (GVLK) and KMS host pair as that for regular KMS activation. When the client joins the domain, the activation object automatically activates the Office installation,
    granting a license to the client for 180 days. --------------

    Q1) there is a KMShost product key, and there is a KMSclient product key.
    The KMShost product key, you install this in your KMShost machine, and the client machines which have the KMSclient product key will contact your KMShost machine for activation.
    Volume Licensed products are provided by MSFT with the KMSclient product key already installed. The KMSclient product keys are also publically available in the TechNet library documentation.
    VAMT can be used, with or without KMS installed. VAMT is not part of KMS, and, KMS is not part of VAMT.
    ADBA is not part of VAMT and VAMT is not part of ADBA.
    ADBA can only be used if your AD is at the later version, and, ADBA only works for the latest products like Windows8 and Office2013.
    If you have older AD or older products you will still need to have KMS or MAK.
    Q2) after 180days, it's the same as KMS - the KMSclient (or ADBA client) will enter "non-genuine" mode if the client has not contacted ADBA object (or KMShost) to renew the activation status.
    This wiki article I put together, includes a few helpful links about ADBA and KMS:

  • License key question with regards to upgrading from 7/8.1 to 10

    Hi, I hope I've posted my question in the right area of the forum:
    I understand that Windows 10 will be a free upgrade for Win7/Win8 users.
    That's really wonderful but I was wondering what the exact mechanism with regards to our 7/8 license keys. Here's a couple examples to clarify my question:
    first, example: I have Windows 7 Pro license and say I upgrade to 10 within the first year. Let's say I need to reinstall Windows after that first year is finished will I still be able to use that same license key I used to upgrade 7 to 10 to install a fresh
    copy of Windows 10 or will I need to purchase a new license because the year is elapsed? 
    Here's another scenario. I upgrade to Windows 10 from 7 and after trying Windows 10 for while, I decide to uninstall 10 and go back to 7... because I'm crazy like that.... Will I be able to use my original Key for Windows 7 or is the upgrade a one way road:
    where the 7 key turns into a Windows 10 key and can no longer be used to activate Windows 7?
    Thanks for the feedback!

    Hi Momashi
    Here's another scenario. I upgrade to Windows 10 from 7 and after trying Windows 10 for while, I decide to uninstall 10 and go back to 7...
    because I'm crazy like that.... Will I be able to use my original Key for Windows 7 or is the upgrade a one way road: where the 7 key turns into a Windows 10 key and can no longer be used to activate Windows 7?
    If you Upgrade to Windows 10 and do not like it, for whatever reason.
    Before you upgrade to Windows 10.
    Create an image of windows 7 to an external HD and a recovery CD, using windows 7 Backup and Restore.
    You can re-install windows 7 in the SAME SYSTEM using the recovery CD without using  a key.
    Hope it helps
    Where did you get your outlandish information about a Windows 7 key turning into a Windows 10 key?  Nothing in the past has ever happened like this before, so what makes you think it will happen with Windows 10?
    My Windows ME did not turn into a Windows XP key!
    My Windows XP key did not turn into a Windows Vista key!
    My Windows Vista key did not turn into a Windows 7 key!
    And so on!

  • Acrobat SDK License Agreement Question

    The following is a section of the latest Acrobat SDK License Agreement from the Adobe website:
    "3.2  Development Restrictions.  You agree that You will not Use the Software to create, develop or use any program, software or service which . . . (b) can both (i) communicate with Adobe Reader Products and (ii) modify or save a PDF (Portable Document Format) document (including saving any modifications to a separate file for such documents);"
    Does this mean that I am NOT allowed to develop a program that both:
    Interfaces with Adobe Reader/Acrobat via the Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing purposes and
    Builds and modifies PDF's using third party component(s)?
    If the answer to the previous question is "YES", that means I can only use the Acrobat SDK in a program that is limited to PDF viewing and printing as far as PDF issues are concerned.  That would be very restrictive for a real world application that involves PDF's, especially when I am supposed to "add significant and primary functionality" as the license aggreement also states.

    How do I go about contacting "Adobe Legal"?
    Also, just to clarify our discussion on some subtle but important points . . .
    I understand that Adobe Reader is just that, a read-only application.  And, I understand that the Adobe solution for modifying PDF's is Adobe Acrobat.  I have components from 3rd parties that let me programatically modify PDF's.  So, from a strictly programming tools point of view, I don't need Acrobat to modify PDF's in my application.  The 3rd party components handle the PDF modification tasks.  I'm not trying to use the Acrobat SDK to modify PDF's, but rather only to view PDF's.
    So, when you say:
    "You can NOT use Reader to view PDF documents as part of a software solution that also modifies the PDF using some other technology"
    Do you mean:
    It is your understanding that using the Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing and 3rd party components for PDF modification in the same application constitutes a violation of the Acrobat SDK License Agreement?
    And when you say:
    "Acrobat, however, does not have this limitation"
    Do you mean:
    Adobe requires licensed Acrobat to be used for PDF modification in any application that uses Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing?  (In other words, PDF modification is where Adobe wants to make a profit.)
    Thanks for your input.

  • Mail Rules Question

    I have a lot of email on my Gmail account. A semi significant portion of them are status updates, such as Facebook, Pownce, Netflix, and other site updates. In the past when I used POP, it wasn't such a big deal to keep these emails because Gmail offers something like 4GB of space. However, now that I am switching to IMAP, it's taken me forever sync with all 14,000 emails on the Gmail server.
    I don't want to have to do that again, especially not on my iPhone.
    My question is this: Is it theoretically possible to setup a mail rule to have a specific folder delete all its contents after a specified amount of time? Looking in the default mail rule options, there is the ability to delete email as it comes in, but not necessarily after, say, 30 days. I'm looking for something along the lines of, "every 30 days, delete everything in this mail folder."
    Any ideas?

    David Gimeno Gost wrote:
    Mail doesn’t provide that functionality, but you may set up a smart mailbox that displays the messages to be deleted, then manually delete whatever shows up there every once in a while.
    Yeah, that's what I figured.
    Another option is writing an AppleScript and selecting the "Run AppleScript" rule option, but I'm a) not 100% it's even possible, and b) rusty on AppleScript.

  • License requirements question

    All,
    I have the following question (stranger question):
    I just developed a SimpleMap class which is an equivalent of the HashMap from java.util, but very specialized with respect to some special uses cases I am dealing with.
    There is no dependency between my class and java.util.HashMap, SimpleMap is standalone. But certain portions of the code DO use techniques found in HashMap.java source code, namely: bucket index computation and Entry chaining (linked list simulation). Looks like I inspired from the JDK sources
    The question is: am I allowed to distribute this code? Do I need to include any reference to SUN along with the source code ? I did not have the time to browse license agreement stuff, unfortunately. However, if you guys can provide some links or even inline details they will be more than apreciated.
    I assume that hash-tables are anyway some standard stuff, so I do not see the point in mentioning that indexing and entry chaining was done as in SUN classes. But if you know I MUST do this, please let me know.
    Thanks a lot,
    Cristian

    Try using the following command to test the license installation.
    saplicense -test
    If you still have problems, restart the server.

  • Oracle Business Rules Question

    Hi,
    I'm pretty new with Oracle Rules. I've had no trouble using them, to date. I define Java classes, set up the facts in Rules Author, and create the Dictionary, Ruleset, and rules... etc.
    I can run them fine, and the technology works as expected. My question is... what if my underlying data structures for the facts (the java class(es) in my case) change?
    From what I see with the Rules Author tool, there isn't an obvious way to sync up the underlying fact with events on the ground. I can see there would be a really good reason for not allowing attributes/methods/props to be removed (without redoing (some of???) the rulesets/rules)... but I am really interested in the ability for adding methods/attributes/etc to the underlying structures without rework.
    Here is my use case: I set up an initial fact and a ruleset for our clients with which to build rules. They add 500 rules. They now request the "fact" include another "new" attribute to be available in all new rules. Do I have to start over, and redo the 500 rules to accommodate the new attribute? There must be something which eases the pain... but I haven't found it yet.
    Any help in this issue would be most appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Thanks for the reply. I guess I was making it more difficult than it deserved. I've been trying to "re" import... and never tried to import over the fact I already had.
    Thanks!

  • License (EULA) Questions - Photoshop Elements 11

    The Photoshop Elements 11 EULA (Gen_WWCombined-en-us-20111219-1230-clean.pdf, page 3, sections 2.1.3 & 2.1.5) states that you "must purchase a separate license for use of the Software on each operating system platform" in a dual boot scenario. My scenario is not a dual boot one, but I do want to run the program on both my Dell Desktop PC (Win 7 Pro) and my Apple MacBook Pro Laptop (OS X 10.7.5). Does that mean I'll have to purchase two licenses as well? If so, is this enforced at the program installation/activation level, or just in the law? Also, why? If the license allows for two installations, why must they be on the same platform?

    Thanks, Barbara! In just 3 sentences, you delivered a completely understandable description of the licensing, which I couldn't find in the EULA, on Adobe.com, or on the Web via Google. Quick unrelated follow-up question: That was my first post to Adobe.com and I notice my email address is not hidden. Where do I change that setting, so I'm not forever exposed in these forums? I've poked around but can't find it. Thanks again for your superquick response!

  • WINDOWS 7 64 BITS OEM LICENSE LANGUAGE QUESTION

    Hello to all,
    My company have bought some HP desktops without any OS. This was because we have some OEM licenses for windows 7 professional 64 bits that we bought for a virtualization project that did not suceed and the licenses were never used.
    We want to install those OEM licenses in the desktops but we found that the dvd that came with each license as the OS in Portuguese and we would like to install the OS in english.Since we do not want
    to take any chance and not be 100% legal with Microsoft my first question is if we can use on those desktops the OEM license for windows 7 professional 64 bits Portuguese language that we have but have the desktops with windows 7 professional 64 bits English
    language OS.That takes me to the second question that is if we can use one windows 7 professional 64 bits english dvd to setup the desktops.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi,
    As far as I know, in windows 7, only the Ultimate and Enterprise are support multiple language.
    Windows 7 language packs are available for computers that are running Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 7 Enterprise
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972813
    And if you want to use OEM license, you need the OEM disk from the manufacturer to install windows.

  • AD OID mapping rule questions

    Hi,
    Can someone please tell me how to map the first and last names from AD to OID in the mapping file. Currently I have the following and wanted to make sure if it's correct:
    sn,SAMAccountName: : :person:sn: :person:sn|SAMAccountName
    givenName: : :person:givenName: :person
    # Map the userprincipalname to the nickname attr by default
    #userPrincipalName: : :user:uid: :inetorgperson:userPrincipalName
    # Map the SamAccountName to the nickname attr if required
    # If this rule is enabled, userprincipalname rule needs to be disabled
    sAMAccountName: : :user:uid: :inetorgperson:sAMAccountName
    The other question I have is why we need to disable userprincipalname rule when the following is enabled. As I am also trying to enable WNA/SSO too, what other rules I need for that in my mapping file.
    sAMAccountName: : :user:uid: :inetorgperson:sAMAccountName
    Thanks

    I have these first two rules here and they seem to be working fine. But I think you will have trouble with the third one with WNA authentication.
    About the two last rules for uid, the reason you can only have onle one of these is that both are storing a value on the uid attribute. You need to choose wether you want to use the samaccountname or the userprincipalname on it.
    I remember seeing somewhere that for WNA authentication to work the uid should be in the format [email protected], so you would need to map userprincipalname to uid instead of samaccountname, I am not absolutely sure about this since I have never setup WNA.
    And also you would need to populate the krbprincipalname. I think this one is automatically copied to the orclsamaccountname attribute, which is required. I have a rule like this here:
    userPrincipalName: : :user:krbPrincipalName: :orcluserv2:trunc(userPrincipalName,'@')+'@'+toupper(truncl(userPrincipalName,'@'))
    There are some walktroughs on Oracle By Examples that I found very usefull. This one is for WNA:

  • WSA / CWS Licensing count question.

    Hello,
    I have a question how WSA and CWS are licensed based on the number of users.
    Is it based on concurrent or named users, active sessions based on source IP address or another way? This old post mentions concurrent users but based on a legacy ironport ordering guide. And that document does not mention any licensing methods.
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3949429
    However for CWS i found this post:
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/4003674
    For the sizing it mentions: "It will be total number of CWS users, not concurrent users". Sizing is nog licensing, but the CWS datasheet mentions "The Cisco Web Security portfolio uses tiered pricing based on the number of users".
    I believe there are licenses allowing mixed use of CWS and WSA in combination with the free Virtual Applicances. Is this correct and how does this reflect on my question regarding user licensing?

    Hi,
    It's based on the number of named users, however there is no absolute way to count the users so it's a trust thing too and you should be honest about how many users you have.
    Thanks
    Chris
