LZW license, can i use LZW in own application?
Hello,
i saw an article onadobe.com that mentions that a license
is necessary if someone wants to use LZW:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/584/6e584843.html
That article is dated 2006, is it still valid? What does that mean for an application that i write and is inteded to be open source?
The patent is still valid?
Thanks for any hints,
Torsten.
The patent for the LZW algorithm expired on June 20, 2003.
I would recommend you use Flate compression instead of LZW for better results. You can generate Flate streams using the open source zlib library.

Can I use MainStage without owning Logic?
I use Pro Tools and Reaper in the studio, so I won't to jump ship to Logic; simply b/c however nifty it is, it's not worth the steep time-consuming learning curve. However, for live performance as a keyboardist, I'm looking for a Mac-based VST host to be controlled by a USB/MIDI keyboard controller, and am wondering if MainStage might be the way to go. The price is so cheap, how could I go wrong? But no matter where I search, I don't get a clear answer to these questions:
Can I use MainStage without owning Logic?
For a $29 download, does MainStage also come with all the content (sounds, etc.) for its built-in instruments, or is it assuming you already have those b/c you presumably own Logic?
This question may need its own separate thread, but: Ideally, my keyboard setups for a "concert" may need as many as five VSTs per song (e.g., custom samples in Kontakt, Wurly, B-3, piano, glockenspiel, whatever) spread out in various discrete layers across a keyboard. Has anyone tested this more-complex and memory-taxing sort of a setup out in a live situation?
Thanks for any insight,

If you buy it from the AppStore, YES

All the instrument and FX plugs are included, and a (massive) additional free download within the Mainstage application will get you all the extra content.

Caution: Logic/Mainstage will only work with Audio Unit (AU) plugins, NOT VST. Most 3rd party plugs are available as AU plugs, but you need to make sure you have installed them.

Yes, and memory/CPU issues not withstanding, Mainstage generally works extremely well for this.

Can I use my fully owned CS2 on my iMac OX 10.9.5 as I paid over $1850.00 some 7 years ago for it and have been told by "Experts" that I can reinstall from my original software disks (which I have including all passwords etc required. Please assist as when my old iMac died I find I could not get my CS2 to work. Very frustrating for some one my age who cannot afford a new InDesign. Thomas Bain
CS2 was created for the Power PC processor which your old iMac obviously was.
Your new Mac with OSX 10.9.5 is an Intel Mac and no longer runs Power PC applications.
For several years after the transition from Power PC to Intel Apple had provided an emulator called Rosetta that allowed Intel Macs to run Power PC applications.
However, the last version of the Mac OS that had Rosetta was OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
Even if you could find a copy of OSX 10.6.8 it would be highly unlikely that it would ever install on a newer Mac due to different firmware versions.
Your only hope is to buy an older used Mac that can run OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard or earlier.
Sorry, but that ship has sailed. -
Can I use the Disk Utility Application to backup bootcamp windows 7?
Can I use the Disk Utility Application to backup Bootcamp that has Windows 7 on it? If I install a new blank drive, I would like to know that using Time Machine I can get the MAC OS back and using the Disk Image Utility I can restore Bootcamp with Windows 7.
NO.
You have to use Windows or a Windows utility.
There are programs that will clone an entire drive (sector) as well.
DU does not though. Paragon does support Boot Camp. -
Licensing-Can I use 10 client version for Web server?
I have a client that is looking to move their web servers from IIS and Windows to OSX server.
My question is, how does the licensing shceme work? Can we use a 10 user version of OSX Server for a web server, or do we need the Unlimited version?
Not 100% familiar with the server side of Mac things, so treat me gentlyHi
The licensing only applies to connected AFP users, so you can use a 10 Client version without any problems. -
How to package different content so that the same license can be used for all content.
1) If packaging all the content at the same time, use the same instance of DRMParameters every time you call MediaEncrypter.encryptContent(). All content packaged using the exact same DRMParameters object will be associated with the same license.
2) If packaging content at different times, but want to have all the content associated with the same license, you need to use V2KeyParameters.setContentEncryptionKey(). The first time you package a piece of content, you would use ContentEncryptionKey.generate() to generate a new key/license ID. To use the same key/license for later content, you need to store the info in ContentEncryptionKey, so you can pass in the same values later for the new content.To package content at different times using the same license, you need to implement the following:
Call ContentEncryptionKey.generate to generate a new key and license ID.
On your V2KeyParameters, call setContentEncryptionKey and pass in the object generated in step 1.
Call MediaEncrypter.encryptContent and pass in the V2KeyParameters (via DRMParameters), as usual.
Store the contents of ContentEncryptionKey, so the same values can be used again later. The key, license ID, and packaging date should all be stored.
When you want to package additional content using this license, lookup the stored key, license ID, and packaging date and pass these into the ContentEncryptionKey constructor to create a ContentEncryptionKey instance.
On your V2KeyParameters, call setContentEncryptionKey and pass in the object generated in step 5.
Call MediaEncrypter.encryptContent and pass in the V2KeyParameters (via DRMParameters), as usual.
The media packaged in steps 3 and 7 should now be protected using the same license. -
Can I use ADF in my applications
Gentlemen!
Can I use free the ADF components in my application, if I don't use JDeveloper?
Or I should to buy some licence?
ThanksThe ADF Runtime licensed is based on the number of CPU used to run your application, so if you have just one application server with one CPU running 20 applications - you'll pay one ADF license.
There is also an option to license ADF on a per user license.
Just go to the Oracle online store - http://store.oracle.com and you can get the details. -
Can I use QuickTime in Flash application?
Hi.
I'm planning to develop a media player in Flash, and I would
like to know if it is possible to do the things I wanna do. Can I
use the QuickTime player in my Flash application to play video and
music files? If I can, can I use the original controls from
QuickTime to play, pause, stop, fast forward and rewind the
video/music? (Why I ask is because I want to be able to hear the
sound go fast forward and rewind when I press these controls, and
the only player I know that does that is QT.) I also wanna be able
to show the video and music files the user has on the computer with
icons (or pictures). Is it possible to search video and music files
in a computer (in specific folders)? Or do I have to know from the
start, when I develop the application, which files exist?
I'm really grateful for answers on my questions!

No you can't. You can't have player within a player.

You can open a folder and look for file but you can't search
user drive and get list
of it. Only File - Open - Browse, that type of dialog.

Built a pc a while ago, ever since I installed windows 7 ultimate, a genuine copy with key. I have been getting the following
error: C:\windows\system32\d2d1.dll is either not designed to run on windows, or it contains an error.
Can anyone PLEASE help me resolve this issue, it has been driving me crazy, I can't use steam in big picture mode, use my
mouse customization software, or windows movie maker, and many more.
Or is my only option a fresh install of windows 7? Because I no longer have possession of the disc/key.
Thanks for your help.AJ

You can't use this version of application "After Effects"
I have the Adobe CS6 installed on my computer and they all worked fine with Snow leopard, but the moment I got Yosemite and tried to open After Effects I get this message:

Can I use textfield in an application with low level api?
Hello !
I am developing a mobile application using the low level api.
I have to use it, because I do a lot of coloring.
But I want to use high level textfields as well. Is there any way
to include them in my application without using forms?
Does any one know, why J2ME designer's have limited the access
to the TextField's paint()-method? That's why I cannot inherit
from TextField and overwrite the paint() as I would like to do.
Thanks.Unfortunately no. You cannot mix both high and low level on the same screen. You'll probably have to draw it out yourself and capture user input, unless you're willing to use textboxes.
Or.. i suppose you can try using customItems for all your "coloring" instead? -
Cisco ACE can rserver use it's own VIP address ?
we've configured a serverfarm with a real server and a VIP.
The serverfarm can be reached and is functioning well.
Now we want the rserver to be able to reach it's own VIP address.
This is needed because the rserver has multiple websites which need each other
and we want to have load balancing.
Is this a supported configuration ?
regards,
Sebastianyou can simply add a new policy to match the servers ip addresses and then configure nat.
ie:
class-map match-all servers
2 match source-address 192.168.30.48 255.255.255.255
policy-map multi-match client-nat
class servers
nat dynamic 1 vlan 30
interface vlan 20
ip address 192.168.20.121 255.255.255.0
alias 192.168.20.124 255.255.255.0
peer ip address 192.168.20.123 255.255.255.0
no normalization
mac-sticky enable
access-group input PERMIT-ANY
service-policy input ALLOW-ALL
service-policy input client-nat
service-policy input SLB1
no shutdown
interface vlan 30
bridge-group 30
no normalization
mac-sticky enable
access-group input PERMIT-ANY
nat-pool 1 10.10.20.1 10.10.20.100 netmask 255.255.255.0
In this case I nat the to an address in 10.10.20.0/24 subnet and I have a static route on the servers pointing this subnet to ACE.
You could also use a free ip from the same server subnet and no static route would be required.
Also if ACE is already the default gateway for the servers, no specific static route is required.
Also, in this example, I'm not really nating a server. But the idea is the same. The only difference is that in your case, the outgoing interface will be the same as the incoming interface. Me I have everything in vlan 20 and vlan 30. You will have everything in vlan X and only vlan X.

Which Exchange server license can I use with an Exchange Standard SAL?
Hi All,
We have a customer that has Exchange Standard SAL. We installed the Standrad license on the server, but now I want to have more than 5 databases due the number of mailboxes that the customer has. With the SAL licensing, the servers license is not needed, but,
Can I change the server to the Enterprise license when I'm using Standard user licenses?
Thanks!
ManelHi,
Software license isn't universal for whole world. The license content is different for countries
or regions.
If you have questions about license, please contact local Microsoft customer support to confirm.
