MS Server License Tracking

Good Afternoon,
      I have a mixed licensing environment including servers from Server 2003 to Server 2012.  Over time the licensing has become mixed also.  Some OEM licenses, some free standing licenses, and some SA licenses.  I'm looking
for software, preferably MS, that will allow me to query all the servers in my environment, determine the license type they have, track it and maintain it.  I've tried playing with the MS VAMT and it is very unhelpful.
       As I prepare for a MS license true up, I want to make sure I know what's going on in my environment so there are no surprises.
Thanks!

  • Get Report of Terminal Server license report

    Is there a way I can track our Terminal Server Licenses usage. For example I have bought 50 licenses, are they being used to full capacity or under used. What is the monthly maximum usage. And we have about 10 servers hosting terminal services
    in our AD, do I have to generated a report for each ? Is there tool that can do this ? Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 R2

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    For finding active session on terminal server you can use command as follow.
    query session /server:SERVER2
    A user can always query the session to which the user is currently logged on. To query other sessions, the user must have Query Information access permission.
    More information.

  • Indesign Server Licensing

    I am looking into purchasing a 3rd party product for doing dynamic date publishing using Indesign. The vendor is telling me in order to be complaint with Adobe I need to purchase an Indesign Server license even though the 3rd party application doesnt need it. It will basically sit on the shelf and collect dust. The vendor isnt even looking for us to purchase Indesign Server through, so its not like they are making any money.
    Just doesnt make sense on why I would need to purchase it. I have tried calling Adobe sales reps numerous times and either no one knows the answer or I never get called back from the people who are supposed to know the answer.
    I figured this was the best board to post this on, not sure if it would be better somewhere else.
    Does anyone have any insight into this? Any response is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I had trouble - the instructions send you down some confusing paths - but I got it working eventually. The "Installation Instructions.pdf" file indicates you need to activate the trial with Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition (APTEE), but sends you to a link that says nothing about APTEE. It turns out you can find APTEE in a download called Adobe Application Manager Enterprise (AAME), which doesn't say much about APTEE, but does install APTEE in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\Enterprise\utilities\APTEE\CS6". You don't actually need to create a distribution package of the product installer with the UI of the installed AAME software as you might be led to believe; in the folder above is a command line tool, for which the "indesign-server-cs6-release-notes.pdf" file provides incorrect command line information regarding how to activate the 90 day trial (spurious spaces at line breaks and in command line options that are supposed to be "--" not "- -"). The actual correct command line I used successfully to activate the trial was "adobe_prtk --tool=StartTrial --leid=InDesignServer-CS6-Win-GM" .
    It really shouldn't have taken that much figuring out (especially since the InDesign Server CS6 installer itself has a UI which suggests you can just choose an option for trial mode). You can only get on the right track by reading and then ignoring the instructions, and searching around for the right download on the Adobe site.

  • Reporting Services Add-in for Sharepoint- does it need an SQL Server license?

    In a new project we will be creating an SSRS in Sharepoint integrated mode. For this we'll need SQL Server and Sharepoint on that box.
    We'll also have one or more SharePoint Web Front End (WFE) servers. To allow them to connect to the SSRS-in-sharepoint-mode box, and to present the user with the right user interface for doing so, I believe we can install the Reporting Services Add-In for
    Sharepoint on the WFE servers.
    The question is, do we need to have  SQL Server license for each WFE server where we use the Reporting Services Add-In, or is it free to use?
    We've had advice that we need to buy a SQL Server license everywhere we use the add-in, but I am not sure this is correct.
    Thanks in advance,
    Rich

    Hello there,
    The Reporting service Add-in for SharePoint can be downloaded free on Microsoft Download site. That means it does not need any license on the add-in.

  • Lion Server licensing

    Hi All
    I am looking at running Lion server in my small office rather than a windows server. We currently have 5 macs running lion and was thingking of getting a new mac mini with the server software.
    I can't seem to find any information on buying the 5 licences I require only a volume amount. Can anyone advise how much and what I need to be buying form my needs.
    Thanks

    I'm not sure what you're looking for.
    You already have the 5 Lion licenses - they're installed and running on your Lion Clients.
    The only thing you need is one Lion Server license to install and run on the server - and if you buy the Mac Mini Server, it comes pre-installed with the Lion Server license.
    You don't need any messy client-access-licenses (like under certain other OSes). Mac OS X Lion Server is licensed by the server, regardless of how many clients connect.

  • SQL Server License from SAP to use the Business Intelligence Stack

    Hi Sean,
    SQL Server license is a very complicated issue. If the tool is given to you in the package, it should be ok to use it. There is no update for the info provided in the blog although it is over 3 years.
    Thanks,
    Gordon

    Hi delaynomore,
    According to your description, you fail to execute the function with timeout error after migration to SQL Server 2012. Based on my research, the issue could be due to the long running tasks or uncommitted transactions.
    To troubleshoot the issue, besides Olaf's suggestion to check the connection to SQL Server 2012 instance and the stored procedure using SQL Server Management Studio(SSMS) manually, you could also follow the methods below.
    1. Execute that procedure manually using SSMS and check if it takes a very long time to execute and return. For example, there could be millions of rows being updated. If it takes a long time, you can adjust the CommandTimeout accordingly.
    2. Execute the following statement in SSMS to check if there are any uncommitted transactions: dbcc opentran ('yourDatabaseName'). If there are any uncommitted transactions, please change the  stored procedure accordingly to commit the transactions.
    For more information about the process, please refer to the article:

  • How many server licenses do I need for SharePoint 2013?

    I am new to the concept of CAL. I am reading about it. I found this linkhttp://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/101914/how-many-server-licenses-do-i-need-for-sharepoint-2013
    Suppose there are 2 users in the sharepoint farm. As per above link we requires 7/8 server license. So my question is do we requires 7/8 licences per user basis (2*7/8) or we requires 7/8 licences once only then we require 2 more licenses for 2 users (7/8 +2)?

    The second option.
    If you have 7 SharePoint servers then you need 7 SharePoint Server Licenses.
    If you have two people in your company who can use SharePoint then you need two Client Access Licenses (7 server, 2 CAL).
    If you had two hundred thousand users who could then you would need two hundred thousand CALs, but the number of server licenses would not change. (7 server, 200,000 CALs).

  • Server side tracking on non-OSX server

    Does anyone aware of attempts of reproducing server side tracking on non-MacOSX server platform?
    Our primary storage is based on opensolaris + zfs, giving us a lot of advantages. But synchronization of mobile users always takes some serious amount of time.
    Obviously re-exporting home directories through OSX server doesn't change something, because server side tracking requires filesystem to be local on server.
    I can guess that protocol should be relatively simple and doable on other unixes (as soon you get some way to track filesystem changes).

    while part of it may be technically feasible, i've never seen or heard anything about implementing server side tracking on a non-os x server. at the very least, the server runs sshd on an alternate port for client communication. beyond that, i don't know what magic is involved.
    in practice, i haven't seen it work reliably on os x server, though i haven't done any testing with this enabled on 10.6 server yet. it may not be worth pursuing.

  • Crystal Reports Server licensing

    My question concerns Crystal Reports Server licensing.
    There is a limit of 20/100 licenses per server and 1 server per deployment. What should I do to implement solution that requires more than that? What does "deployment" mean in terms of licensing?
    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post a question like that.
    Regards,
    Stanislav

    You would need to purchase Business Objects Enterprise if you need a scalable solution as far as I know.
    You will need to talk to a sales person for a more definitive answer.

  • Do you need to purchase Application Server license for WebCenter Suite?

    Before the BEA product merger, WebCenter was sold as a separate license on top of the Application Server license. Now with the new pricing of 125K, does this mean you have to pay for a separate App Server license or is the new pricing included with an App Server license?

    Appserver licenses need to be purchased separately

  • Oracle VM Server Licensing

    Hi,
    we are trying to search for information about Oracle VM Server Licensing and evaluate the possibility of purchasing licenses.
    We found information in http://oraclestore.oracle.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?section=87615&beginIndex=0&sitex=14405:1435532:US&navTotals=34&navPageSize=25&navBeginIndex=26&navEndIndex=34
    Actually we got 10 machines with 8 cores & 32GB RAM. We guess with this hardware we should buy the Premier Non-Limited license, is it right? Or is possible to have a Premier Limited licenses with this hardware?
    Licensing, is including future updates for Oracle VM Server 3? In the same way, is the Manager support included?
    In the other hand, we would like to know if the Oracle Database included with the Manager has a free license for production environments or is strictly needed to purchase a license.
    Best regards,

Or is possible to have a Premier Limited licenses with this hardware?Premier Limited = 2 physical CPUs. If you're using 2x Quad-Core, then you can use Premier Limited. If you're using 4x Dual-Core, you need Premier Non-Limited.
    Licensing, is including future updates for Oracle VM Server 3? In the same way, is the Manager support included?This is not a license purchase: this is an annual support agreement. It covers any version of Oracle VM running on physical hardware, including Oracle VM Manager.
    In the other hand, we would like to know if the Oracle Database included with the Manager has a free license for production environments or is strictly needed to purchase a license.The database included with Oracle VM Manager is Oracle XE which is also free to use with no license cost.

  • Move Terminal server licenses to another server

    We have one terminal server VM hosted in hyper v server. currently there is a problem with the hyper v server hdd and we might need to rebuild the whole server. We would like to setup a new terminal server on a new server. The existing terminal server is
    windows server 2003. After I fresh setup the Windows server 2003 VM in a new server, how do I move the terminal server license to a new server? FYI, we would like to decommission the old terminal server. But we would like to do it in parallel as there are
    many users are still accessing to the old terminal server.
    Thanks so much.
    Regards,
    Henry

    Hi Henry,
    First you need to gather your licensing paperwork, authorization number(s), license number(s), etc. for your existing licenses.  This step is critical.
    Next install RD Licensing on the replacement 2003 server, Activate it using Terminal Server Licensing (licmgr.exe), then install the TS CALs.  If you receive an error when installing the old TS CALs please contact the Clearinghouse and explain
    to them you need to install the TS CALs on a new server because the old one is being decommissioned.

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291795
    Once you have confirmed that the old TS CALs are installed on the replacement 2003 TS then make sure your 2003 TS is set to the correct Licensing mode (to match the type of TS CALs) and you have Specified the name of the new RD Licensing server. 
    You do this in Terminal Services Configuration (tscc.msc) on the replacement terminal server.
    As an alternative you could install the existing TS CALs on a newer RD Licensing server such as Server 2008 R2, Server 2012, etc.  You still will need to have the authorization number(s), license number(s), etc. for the existing 2003 TS CALs.
