Mac & Windows (BootCamp) Activations on Same Physical Machine
To Adobe:
Please would it be possible to free-up the CS6-Cloud licensing to allow simultaneous activation on both OSX and BootCamp-Windows sides of the same physical Mac machine to count as only one (of the two allowed) activations? The logic is that it is only one physical machine. No sales would be lost and it would remove an inconvenience, making CS6 more flexible.
Like most people, my second activation is normally bound to my workhorse-desktop. The laptop is what gets used to show stuff (like CS6) to other people at other locations. Sadly unable to give spontaneous (unplanned) demonstration of CS6 on Mac to someone recently at separate work location with no internet connection available (hence unable to do the "boot windows, deactivate, reboot mac, activate" sequence, during which they might have got bored and gone away in any case...).
David, after spending hours....and I man hours.... the best answer I get from Adobe is that I can't even have Bootcamp installed! Something about the MAC ID for the computer. What's happening for me is that I can't even deactivate in Windows and the reboot into OSX and activate. I get nothing but errors telling me it's already in use on another computer (meaning Windows). Deactivation means nothing apparently since it's the same physical hardware. Adobe needs to fix this! I'm one person on one machine. I cant be in Windows and OSX at the same time through BootCamp. And even if I was uing Parrallels or somthing lke that, I'm still one guy at one computer.... Adobe are you listening!? FIX THIS!!!!!

Oracle XE on multiple virtual machines on the same physical machine?
hi,
does oracle's licensing for 11g express edition prohibit running XE databases on multiple virtual machines on the same physical machine? if not, does the machine have to be "hard partitioned" per oracle specifications (link below) to make it legal?
http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/partitioning-070609.pdf
i found a similar question regarding 10g express edition in the forum (link below), but it doesn't seem like the question was ever definitively answered.
Oracle XE on multiple virtual machines on the same physical machine?
thanksI thought until I just checked that this was a clear cut no in that it specifies 'a single server'. Now I'm not sure as 'server' is an amibuous term. I at least know that as soon as you start giving developers access to theor own XE instance for dev/testing that there are many VM environments where you can't really know what physical macine your VM is running on to actually be able to tell if you had multiple XE instances running on a single 'Physical' server. I'm not sure the question has been answered by Oracle though.

Creative Cloud on Mac OSX and Windows Bootcamp on the same machine.
Hello,
I am looking into getting 3DStudio Max which is a Windows only program but will need to flip flop between 3DSM and Photoshop. I am wondering, can I install my Adobe apps on both Operating Systems so that I can have them on my regular Mac OSX for normal work and in Windows Bootcamp for when I do 3D renderings? I rather not use a Virtual Machine considering both of those programs are going to take a lot of RAM already. Adding another program to that mix I feel will just overheat/slow down my machine.
Thank you for your thoughts and time,
Sarahthat's interesting. it may be a problem, but give it a try.
just open your bootcamp windows, navigate to https://creative.adobe.com/ and start downloading ps. a cc desktop app will download to your bootcamp windows and hopefully you ps will work on your bootcamp windows. i don't see any reason why it would stop working your mac, but that will count as your two installations so you will not be able to install on another computer. -
WSUS, DC and CA on same physical machine?
Hi!
Have been playing around with WSUS as we are about to deploy that here and I had time over so I thought that I should learn a bit on how it works, how it's setup and all that.
I have three physical machines to play with, all running WS2012R2. One is master, one runs a hyper-v and the last one I deployed as a DC, ADCS (Enterprise CA) and WSUS:
Februaryserver: Master DC
Marchserver: Hyper-V
Aprilserver: DC, ADCS and WSUS
At my last attempt I almost succeeded, but ended up with an error on the server that tried to use the WSUS Server and that was that a certificate chain was processed, but terminated in a root certificate which is not trusted by the trust provider (can post
logfile if needed).
I have now installed and uninstalled everything 3 times I think because I cant get this working and I started wondering about that maybe, just maybe, it's a bad idea to promote a single server to be a DC, ADCS and WSUS...?
My questions are these: is there any complete guide to how to setup WSUS using SSL - OR is there a guide to setup WSUS and NOT using SSL? Can't seem to find any appropriate information.
This is my first attempt at trying to understand the CS role, creating certificates and what a CA/CN/CS etc is. Its also my first attempt at trying to setup a WSUS, but I actually might give up and let some third party do this for us instead, time is running
out :(
I have read and followed the following guides:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh852346.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831574.aspx
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/12485.configure-ssltls-on-a-web-site-in-the-domain-with-an-enterprise-ca.aspx
At my first attempt I didnt pay attention to the guide which covers setting up the ADCS and the result was that the CN was incorrectly named. The second time I thought I got it right but apparently I hadn't. At my third attempt I was just playing around and
trying to setup the whole WSUS without using SSL as ALL our clients are located at the same physical location as our servers.
So... that's about it. Story of my week so far :)
Would really appreciate any help/guidance/support/tips/whatever that might help me out here.
Thanks in advance and have nice holiday everyone!Ok, thanks for clearing that out. So, WSUS should not be installed on a DC. I suppose I should move both the DC and ADCS to one of the other servers and test again.
The problem with the certificate will most likely remain though. If I setup ADCS on, for example, my machine called februaryserver, the CN till be februaryserver and FQDN will be februaryserver.xxx.xxx.xx, right? Other than installing the certificate as
a trusted root certificate provider, is there anything else I need to do to get this to become a trusted certificate?
Thanks! -
Hello, I work with a Macbook pro, divided into mac and win 8 (with Bootcamp), is it possible to use Creative Cloud subscription with both system without paying twice.
Bonjour, J'utilise un Macbook pro partitionné Bootcamp mac et windows 8, est-il possible que l'abonnement à Creative Cloud en ligne fonctionne indifféremment dans les deux systemes (sur le même ordi), sans payer deux fois.
Merci,
jhoYour subscription allows for two functioning installations (normally on separate machines, but I imagine you could install the two as you indicate).

Setup Virtual machine on different subnet on the same physical machine
Hi!
I'm a newbie in setting up LDom.
I have a T2000, and want to setup 2 Virtual machines on it. The control is on subnet 2, virtual machines are on subnet 57 and subnet 15.
How can I set them up? Do I need to do something on the switch/router side?
Thanks.Hey.
The IO Domain (Control Domain) would provide virtual switch services to all VLANs. So you could go two ways...
A) Connect 3 cables from your switch to your control domain, then create three virtual switches, one for each vlan, then plumb the vsw interface for the control domain. Although the vitual switches are defined on the control domain for the other vlans, the control domain does not have an interface into the guest domain vlans. Then you can define vnet devices on the guests, associated with these vsw's.
B) Have a single cable run to the control domain, and use 802.11 (q or ad, I can never remember) vlan tagging, to encapulate all three vlans in a single cable. In this config, the switch needs to run vlan tagging on the port. You then break out the vlans into multiple vsw's, then apply in the same manner as above.
I think in newer ldom/firmware versions, there is also a method to assign a PCI card to a domain, but I haven't researched that yet.

I have a 64GB USB Stick, and I am interested in usign it with time machine. My question is, firstly, is this possible? And secondly, if I do do this, would it be possible to install windows using bootcamp from the same USB. My mother refuses to let me install windows without a backup of Mac OS X, so I really need to know if this is possible???
You need to use a drive that is larger than your Mac's internal drive for Time Machine, so a USB stick will not work. You need to buy an external hard drive. It's worth it. Time machine is a fantastic backup system, keeping not just a single backup, but multiple versions of your files as well (hence the need for a larger drive).

How do I share Mac music and photo files when in Windows Bootcamp mode?
I have a new iMac with a terabyte of storage that includes about 30 gigs each of iTunes music and jpg photos. I need to share them to the Windows Bootcamp environment so I can wirelessly stream to them to a DLink DSM 320 media server connected to an AV system located in another room. When in Bootcamp Windows the the 320 can "see" the Windows machine but cannot find any media.
So the question is, how do I share files between Mac and Windows when in Windows Bootcamp?
A better solution would be to directly connect the Dlink when in the Mac environment but I have not been able to find software to do that (the Dlink product is for PC only.) If anyone knows of such software that would be great too.Windows needs third party software to see files on the MAC OS extended FS. I've heard MacDrive does this.

Hello!
I was just curious if there was a driver or something I can install so that I can read and write my mac OSX formatted [HFS+] external drives in Windows 7,
using the windows file explorer [the equivalent for finder].
This is essential for me because I need the windows explorer copy/file transfer dialog box with all it's options and functionality.
Any suggestions relating either to windows bootcamp, or running windows through vmware fusion next to mountain lion [I would much prefer to be able to do this with VMWare Fusion, but either way is absolutely fine.]
I need this because I need to do HEAPS of file management,
and I find finder's file transfer / copy dialog box to be totally inadequate, hopeless and almost useless, [a nightmare in fact] next to the excellent functionality of Windows 7 file transfer dialog.
This has been my most hated issue with OSX for years now.
File management is a total nightmare in OSX.
I may make another post / feature request detailing my hatred of this lack of functionality, because it kills me every time I have to manage and backup large folders filled with lots of files and subfolders.
Sorry for the end-rant.
Thanks so much for any help! (:Hello Alberto and Woodmeister50,
thank you for both your answers.
I have to try and remember to state things I have tried previously or am aware of; my bad!
Alberto:
Thanks for your ideas.
I'm aware of ex-fat format.
Unfortunately, my external drives are quite full and a reformat or EXFAT partition is out of the question.
I'm formatted them OSX extended journaled a couple of years back before I was aware of exfat.
I could buy yet another drive, but I don't really want to do that until SSD's come down in price and expand in size.
[also, while not a big issue, I hear EXFAT can't handle files bigger than 4gb. Not that I have many such files, so that's not really a big concern].
So doing my file organization through windows explorer is, to my knowledge, the best option,
if it is possible. [I hope!]
This would be a perfectly satisfactory solution for me if I can use Windows Explorer through VMware to manage and organize the files and folder on my HFS+ external drives.
I'm not sure if paragon HFS+ or Macdrive allow you to use windows explorer to manage files?
Or only through their own file manager and dialogs?
A costly gamble if they do not, and if their file/folder transfer dialog also happens to be inadequate.
Woodmeister :
Thanks.
Actually, my problem is both HFS+ / windows compatibility AND that I hate finder
[the HFS problem being a result of the fact I hate finder]
I have tried Pathfinder [the demo version though, maybe it has limited functionality],
and I have found it's file transfer dialog / options / functionality to be very totally lacking as well.
Others I have tried.
Mac Explorer.
MoveAddict doesn't seem to work for me presently, although I hear it might be good.
Total finder is fantastic for other reasons but does nothing for the copy dialog.
Um.... there were a bunch of others I tried, but all no good.
So I guess my question is still the same, with a bit more specific information now
For a very in-depth review/analysis of the hatred of finder's lack of features in this area,
there are many threads on many forums, such as can be found if you google for the thread on this forum
GOOGLE : MacRumors OS X: how to merge folder contents, not replace
Please ignore the fact that some ex-windows people are just not used to the fact that "replace" in finder means to replace a whole folder, as this is not the issue.
The lack of functionality is, and there are many pages of mac-loving people complaining about it. -
I am comparing Parallels Desktop 10 for Mac to Bootcamp. The difference I see is a seamless operation with Parallels and the need to restart the Mac with Bootcamp. Previously, I used VMware View Client to use the software from a virtual desktop. Now I am looking to just use the Mac and trying to find the most efficient system.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive. -
I have bought a Seagate Backup Plus 1TB drive, first time during plug-in, I have selected Mac Windows option which excludes Time Machine to work on it, but now I want to go back and select Only Mac option to activate my Time Machine application.
I request you to help me with the procedure of the same?IMPORTANT - This will reformat your Seagate drive and hence wipe it. If there is anything on your Seagate drive you want to keep, save it somewhere else FIRST.
Plug the drive in.
In Finder select Applications > Utilities > Disc Utilities.
Select the external drive, select Partition option, give it a name (I call mine Mac Backup), select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the Format and under the drop down menu "Partition Layout" select the number of partitions you want (so if you want the drive to just be for Time Machine, select 1 Partition, if you want part of the drive to be for Time Machine and the rest for something else, select 2 partitions and so on). Click apply and the Disc Utility will partition and reformat your drive ready to use.
When this is complete, open Time Machine in System Preferences. Use Select Disc to select the drive (or if you have multiple partitions, the partition of the drive) you want and you are good to go.
This may be a long way round, but it gives you the option to partition your disc which you may want. -

How can I play Windows games that require CD on mac mini bootcamp?
Hey!
So have a brandnew optical drive-less mac mini, and have Windows 7 installed as bootcamp partition. Want to play a game on the Windows side but it requires a CD be in the drive to play - which, obviously, I don't have. I tried Carbon Copy Cloner to a USB stick - it worked for the installation but not the game play. Any suggestions how I get an image to mount that the Windows Bootcamp will recognize? Is it possible to mount the CD as a shared disk on my G5 elsewhere on my network or should I just stick to Daemon Tools or MagicISO stuff on Windows. If the latter - how do I get the data from a USB stick mounted as a disk image then (do I need to copy it to the local, then create a disk image and then copy to that image for example?)
I can see this is going to be a problem for all sorts of other things I still have "legacy" I can see so any help on this will carry forward, thanks.Yeah, I know, but the whole idea of moving away from disks isn't such a bad one - so I'm wondering if I can implement it someway - I have the original copy disks so it's not about pirating them to play games but ripping them the right way so they work... hmmm.

Oracle EBS is patehtically working on VM Ware although it has same specs as of physical machine.
Hi Everyone,
We are running Oracle EBS on Physical machine having specs as follows:
DB
X2 Quad Core Xeon 2.4 GHz
32 GB RAM
x2 146GB SAS Drive with RAID-1 for OS
SAN HDD x10 450GB SAS 15K i.e. 4.0TB but RAID-5 implemented (2.3TB allotted to DB)
x4 NIC but 1 NIC used 10/100/1000
Apps
X2 Quad Core Xeon 2.4 GHz
32 GB RAM
x2 146GB SAS Drive with RAID-1 for OS
SAN HDD x10 450GB SAS 15K i.e. 4.0TB but RAID-5 implemented (500GB allotted to Apps)
x4 NIC but 1 NIC used 10/100/1000
We are facing serious issues when migrated Oracle EBS on vmware infrastructure.
Issue are related to high I/Os and high CPU usage hence performance of the application gets down badly whereas same application on physical machine working fine. We would also like to share physical machine is with lesser specification.
Following are specs of Oracle & VM Ware machine;
Oracle EBS is with 11g v1.1.07 Database and R12 v12.1.3 Apps
OS for above applications is RED HAT Enterprise Linux 5.5 64bit
ESXi version 5.5.0 build 1331820
Hope to have a positive reply.Hi Linjo,
Thank you for your response.
VM MAchine specs are as follows:
(There are two servers, everything is same except local storage.)
Both servers are HP DL 585 G7 server with;
Quad AMD Opteron Processor 2.5GHz
12GB RAM
x8 NIC
Local-1 HDD x8 600GB SAS 10K i.e. 5.4TB, RAID-5 implemented
Local-2 HDD x10 900GB SAS 10K i.e. 7.2TB, RAID-5 implemented
SAN
SAN-1 HDD x6 600GB SAS 15K i.e. 2.4TB but RAID-5 implemented
SAN-2 HDD x6 2TB SAS 7.2K i.e. 8TB but RAID-5 implemented
Yes, it is a shared environment, like we have other machines are running on VM but we have dedicated cores & memory for EBS Apps & DB servers.
