Living with the new Trial Software

Microsoft,
Most of my learning or study for certification is based on a home lab environment. I was just told that when requesting a trail of say Server 2012, that I am only going to be allowed one copy and that trial period is going to be 90 - 180 days (thinking most
Microsoft based Server Operating Systems and applications are this way). That makes it very difficult to study for multiple exams that cover the current MCSE. How would one go about learning the Server Operating System without Technet when most labs require
at least two instances of Server 2012? Of course, if I download that trial, to keep it legal I cannot install multiple times. I cannot install again once the trial expires. How do I make this work?

I dont see any information on the
Windows Server 2012 Evaluation resources page that confirms that thinking wiredjack, though this isn't really my area of expertise.
What is giving you the impression that you can only install one copy of Windows Server 2012 Evaluation?  
Thanks,
Mike

    Is it a good idea to update my iphone 3GS with the new io6 software?  I did it with my iphone 3G and the io4 software ruined it really!

    Your plan is generally OK, but I would suggest a different approach, since you're so frazzled by it.
    1. Update iPhoto first; check and backup the iPhoto Library;
    2. Upgrade to Yosemite; This will prompt you to migrate to Photos, but you don't have to do it, so don't!
    3. iPhoto 9.6.1 will remain in your Applications folder and you can continue to use it;
    4. Learn more about Photos, it's features and how iCloud Photo Library really works (for example, once you turn it on, you won't need to download manually);
    5. When you do feel you know enough about Photos, only then launch it to migrate your photos; after migration your iPhoto Library remains fully functional, in case you want to revert to using iPhoto, so that part should not worry you.
    Thet biggest issue you have is the small amount of free space. You might want to address tha first, or locate your new Photos Library on an external drive as well, and only move it to your local drive when it's been optimized (or keep it on an external).

    How do you view lyrics on itouch with the new Jan. software update??
    Thanks!!

    1) You need to have the paid upgrade installed.
    2) You need to paste the lyrics into the lyrics tab of a song/album.
    3) You need to re-sync the Touch.
    4) When playing music, you click on the album cover (in portrait mode only) and the lyrics will superimpose on the screen.

  • HT1491 how do I sync my device with the new itunes software???

    With the new upgraded itunes software, I can purchase new music but can't figure out how to sync it to my Ipod.  I've looked everywhere to find how to do it.  Before it was so easy to drag and drop.  Can anyone help me?

    You can enable the left-hand sidebar that you used to show on previous versions of iTunes via control-S on a PC - it should then look, and be able to be used,  similar to how it used to be

  • Living with the new Fora

    Ah, the new fora. Still getting used to them. Here are some reflections on the Pros & Cons, as I see them with IE7:
    Pros:
    The formatting is nice, as is the ability to attach files.
    Being able to add a link quickly, to open in a second browser window is nice.
    The indentation of replies, to other than the OP.
    Cons:
    Sometimes really slow, but could just be server overload, or maintenance.
    The slight color differentiation between read, (updated) and unread could be much better.
    The loss of the "red flags," is greatly missed.
    The "New" banner is greatly missed.
    The expansion of all replies, when opening an older thread is bothersome.
    Learning to NOT use Back, once I’ve posted, is coming along slowly.
    When a forum has multiple pages and you are past #1, going back to "Discussion" always takes me back to page #1. There has got to be some navigational trick that will get me back to page #X, regardless of whether I’ve posted, or am just reading.
    The loss of many stickies, especially some of the FAQ’s and instruction on posting good questions with proper info.
    Just some personal observations, with more in the works, as I explore.

    JerryK,
    Yes, we are all in similar boats, regarding learning to live with the new fora. You guys just have the extra tasks of doing any modifications.
    As to the "Previous/Next Page" issue. I do not think I was clear on my "problem." That, or maybe I misunderstood your reply.
    To clarify *my* problem:
    Say that there are multiple pages on a particular forum. I am now reading articles on Page 2. I read the article, and hit Back (browser), or mouse button (left side for me), to get back to the discussions. I always get Page 1, and have to now hit the "2," or "Next" to get to Page 2 to move onto the next article. In all other fora, that I am familiar with, if one is on Page 2 (in my example) of the forum article list, and they read an article on that page, when they choose Back (however they choose it), they are taken to the article list page, where they were, not to Page 1, having to then navigate back to Page 2, or whatever. It is the seeming inability to get back to the article list page, that there were just on, without having to navigate to it, always from Page 1. It's the same if using the "Discussions" link from either location - goes back to Page 1 regardless of where one was in the page numbering scheme.
    It's like having a sub-Menu in Encore, where you make scene selections and never being returned to that previous Menu - only back to the Main Menu and having to navigate back to the sub-Menu every time. It's like the End Action (the Back on the browser) defaults to the "Main Menu," and never to "Previous Menu."
    Once one gets to about Page 5, they not only have to navigate back to Page 5, but also remember that they were on Page 5.
    I hope that it's just OE on my part and there is really an easy way to go about reading all of the articles on Page 2 (or whatever) and not having to re-do the navigation after every article.
    Thanks and good luck to you fella's.

    PS on IE7, if that makes the difference

  • How do I look at my favorites in the Maps app with the new iOS8 software?

    I can't find any button that leads to my Favorites/Bookmarks in the Maps app. There used to be an icon or something that I could click on but I don't see anything anymore since I got the new iOS8 software. Please help!

    Hi luvs2dance900,
    In iOS 8 you find your favorite locations by using the search bar. If you tap that, the Favorites section will come up and you can then tap it and see your favorites and select from them. See this page -

  • Why can't I find/access my recent downloads and imessage with the new IOS software update?

    I just recently updated my phone to the new IOS 7 software. I had to do this using my computer. It updated ok but now when I try to find apps that I downloaded (from the computer again) I am unable to locate them. I did find one app that was downloaded but when I click install nothing seems to be happening. I have turned the phone off and on several times hoping it would reset but nothing. I am also unable to access imessage for some reason. Help!!!

    You can't update your iPad past iOS 5.1.1
    Many iPad 1 owners reported slow downs with iOS 5.
    Under the Settings app, General category under About, how much storage capacity does your iPad have left?
    You could try a hard restart or reset by holding down the sleep/on-off button and home button simultaneously.
    Once the screen goes black, wait about two seconds, then let both buttons go.
    See if this changes anything.
    Good Luck!

  • Problems synching itunes 9.0.1 with the new iphone software update.

    I am running a MacBook pro with OS 10.5.8.
    I have upgraded to itunes 9 and downloaded the new software for the iphone 3.1.2.
    Now I cannot sync my iphone OR install the new software.
    Every-time I try to do this itunes tells me that my iphone "disconnected during the install / sync".
    This is nonsense of course! Any clues as to what is broken gratefully received.
    PS I looked up the more information page that apple suggests. However this advice seems to be on the level of the "IT crowd". IE turn your computer off and on again; and update your software to the latest version.

    Ok, lets try some simple stuff first:
    Go to Applications > iSync > Preferences > Reset Sync History
    Let me know if that helps, also make sure that permit syncing on this computer is checked.
