Newbie volume license questions

If I understand correctly, I can purchase a volume license for Acrobat Pro and install the software on the server for multiple users.  There would be one license for Mac users and one for Windows users.
Questions:
Can I VPN into the server and use the software? 
Are licensed users computer specific?  As a licensed/authorized user, does it matter whether I log in from my desktop or my laptop, or would I need a license for both computers?
As the administrator, is there a way I can monitor individual users for such items as log in/log out times, time actively used, actions performed?
What is the upgrade to the next version policy?
Thanks!

You can start with the ETK, and look up Citrix in the Admin Guide. There's a link to the usage policy there. You may need to be talking to someone in sales who can take the time to answer all your usage questions.

  • Lion Volume License Question?

    Ok, Apple released the Volume License Information for Lion. But, I noticed that it has a 20 seat minimum. What do you do if you only need 10 seats and your a small business. Do you buy the non-volume license version for each of the 10 computers or does that violate the User Agreement for personal, non-commerical use?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    I'm no lawyer, but as no one else has responded, I'll give you my opinion, FWIW.
    It sounds to me as though you need to buy a copy of Lion for each computer, if you are a business and want to be completely legit.  However, rather than asking a bunch of users, you'd probably be better off asking Apple directly what they think you should do:  1-800-854-3680 is the number to call for volume sales.

  • Volume Licensing question

    are we able to download adobe digital edtion on our units?

    If Acrobat XI license is a retail license then it cannot be added to your Volume License account.
    If it's a Volume license you have bought from Adobe for Acrobat from a different account and both the accounts belong to you then you need to contact Customer Service to merge both the accounts.

  • Voluntary organisation, mac/pc, many computers, few users, volume license questions

    I help run a community project based around media opportunities. If we have 5 computers in the office and want CS4 installed on all of them, but it's likely the programs won't be run at the same time (eg 2 users max using cs4 at the same time). Do we have to buy 5 separate licenses?
    I would also like to make the machines duel boot to OSX or windows, ideally we would have a OSX version of Windows version of the software on each machine. Would this require us to buy double the licenses?
    I have a feeling for this ideal setup, we would need 10 licenses when I only expect up to a couple people using the same program at once...

  • 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:

  • ITunes gift cards - how do you use them in the volume license store?

    I am the IT admin at a K12 institution. I have two major issues.
    First, I used my personal email address as the administrative user for the volume licensing program. Even though that account is used as an ADMINISTRATOR for the volume licensing program, I can't sign into the volume  license store with it, because it's associated with the iTunes store. So I have a secondary email address. I tried adding that as a facilitator, but that can't be used because "it's associated with the iTunes store". I don't remember creating an account with that address, and I'm certain I've never used it to purchase anything. I can't delete it because Apple doesn't provide a way to do that.
    Down to the 1st question: Is there any way to reassociate one of my two exisiting accounts as a volume license facilitator?
    Second, I have a pile of iTunes gift cards that are supposed to be used for volume license purchases. When I tried to redeem the codes, it rejected them asking to have them entered in the iTunes store, which completely defeats the purpose of trying to buy volume licenses. Why would it reject money if it's on one piece of plastic instead of another?
    Setting up these iPads has been a nightmare. Any help would be appreciated.

    You need to call Apple at 800.MY.APPLE when the computerized voice asks why you are calling say Enterprise, that will get you to the Education / Enterprise division of Apple and they will be able to help you sort this out.

  • How many times can I download from volume licensing

    Hi all. My university in Japan got me CS5 through volume licensing in Japan. I am asking my question here because it is easier for me to work in English than Japanese, and I don't suppose there is much difference between policies here and there. I am wondering if there is a limit on how many times the software can be downloaded from the site. I believe there is a limit of 2 computers, so I assume I can download it at least once more for my laptop, but I was wondering if I can uninstall it once from my iMac, and download it again (for reasons too boring to go into here). Anyway, can I just download it again and again? I am not up to anything dodgy here, by the way. I only need it for two computers, but it would be good to know this for a couple reasons. For instance, suppose I install it on my MBP, then next year want to install it on a newer laptop. Can I uninstall it on the MBP, then download and install it on the new machine? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks, Bob.
    No, I wasn't planning on doing this as a backup plan, or even doing many times. Just wanted to do a new install on my iMac, and wanted to know if I can install on my MacBook Pro now, and then uninstall it from that MacBook Pro next year so that I can install it on a new notebook. By the way, how can Adobe afford to allow people to download as many times as they want? How can they control it then?

  • Choosing Office 2013 volume licensing plan ... or going retail ... or subscription ... or hunting for 2010 ... what a headache ...

    Our company currently runs an office software equivalent comparable to Office 2003 level. I was researching options (licensing!) for stepping up our office to real Microsoft Office product ... and got stuck with that idea ... totally confused at this point.
    Am I missing something or the cheapest SMB volume licensing option for MS Office 2013 (Standard, no Access component) is like twice as expensive as the retail equivalent? Why is that so? It makes no sense to me at all.
    I can find retail box of Office 2013 Home and Business for around $190 while the cheapest Open License for similar equivalent seems to be priced at $369 (what!?) ... and that is even without Software Assurance?
    Makes it kinda hard to convince management about benefits of VL program over retail ... especially since we are not a Volume Licensed customer (yet) and this purchase *might* make it worth becoming one (does it?).
    On top of that I can't even make decision if we should really go with Office 2013 after reading about live/online account requirement for activation, and here a question how does it work in volume licensing version? I assume it will be a great pain with
    installs from retail media and activation, but VL should have some tools or workarounds for that, no? I read that Office 2010 didn't have such problems and am sad I didn't push towards it when it was still available on retail market.
    Maybe we should go with 2013 subscription for first year and see how that works for us ...
    One thing for sure, I've been digging around this subject for weeks and my headache doesn't want to go away.
    Open to suggestions.

    anybody, any insights?
    Pls, also note that I run a one person IT department for this company, so all the dirty work (installs) will be done by me, hence my question. I can do deployments via GPO, but would like to know about activation gotchas (MS live accounts) for Office 2013,
    is that true for retail licenses?
    As per Volume Licensing, am I looking right and cheapest 1 computer Office 2013 open license stands for like $369? why is i so expensive in volume licensing plans? I doubt our management approves it this way ... which probably means retail licensing for
    me and a great headache with activations over a sneaker net ... times 30 ...

  • Windows 8.1 With Bing or Windows 8.1 Core To Pro Volume License?

    If we buy laptops with Windows 8.1 With Bing or 8.1 Core, what is the path to get Windows 8.1 Pro volume licensing so we can join them to domains and create a common MDT deployment image?
    Do we buy a Pro Pack license for each system and then use the Pro Pack upgrade to 8.1 Pro upgrade license for eligibility to purchase 8.1 Professional volume licensing or is there an easier path?

    I'm going to try to restate the main parts of the question more clearly.
    We are buying some laptops where the vendor does not offer a configuration choice of Windows 8.1 Pro.  Normally, we order laptops with Windows Professional preinstalled, but, for these specific models, since they are consumer-oriented laptops, you cannot
    purchase this model with 8.1 Pro licensing from the vendor.  We will have to purchase them with 8.1 With Bing preloaded from the factory. 
    We will be using our own custom image of 8.1 Pro when we deploy the laptops to users.
    Since Windows 8.1 With Bing and Windows 8.1 Core in general is not an eligible OS for purchasing volume licensed 8.1 Pro, we need to, somehow, get these systems licensed for 8.1 Pro before we can buy 8.1 Pro VL.
    How can we do this?  Do we buy 8.1 Pro Packs ($99 each)?  Do we have to buy the full retail edition of 8.1 Pro for each laptop ($199 each) and use these for VL upgrade eligibility?  Can we purchase the 8.1 With Bing to 8.1 Pro upgrade directly
    through the Volume Licensing Program?  
    What is the best we to do this for cost per machine and for convenience implementing?

  • Windows 8.1 Volume license and FPP

    Hi Team,
    A couple of questions:
    Question 1. If you buy a WinPro 8.1 SNGL OLP NL Legalization GetGenuine (Microsoft part number: FQC-08147); can you transfer the license from one PC to another if the current PC where the license is installed crashes and becomes unusable?
    Question 2. If you install WinPro 8.1 SNGL OLP NL Legalization GetGenuine (Microsoft part number: FQC-08147) and somehow the PC crashes; would you be able to re-install the same license on the same PC after the PC is repaired and restored?

    Hi Mukesh Beri ,
    As far as I am concerned ,one license is used for one machine .
    Considering this is a volume license issue ,it is recommended to contact our volume license support directly. We will get more detailed information there.

  • Activate / Deactivate Illustrator CS3 - Volume License

    Hi Guys,
    Well to start this topic, I must say I have never received such poor support for software as I have "received" from Adobe Chat Support team..
    The case is as follows;
    We have a volume license for Adobe Illustrator CS3 and haven't used it since somwhere before 2010. In 2010 we have moved to another city with our company. Therewith also renewing all hardware for our stylists. For over 5 years we haven't used Illustrator CS3, so we never thought about de-activating the software before getting rid of the old hardware. Since a couple months we have a new manager on the styling department, whom wants to introduce Illustrator again. Since all the stylists will need to be trained again for Illustrator, we'd like to do this in the CS3 version before upgrading to CC or CS6.
    So the issue that comes up, is that I cannot activate the software, because the serial number that I've received many years ago, when buying the volume license, has been used too many times. This is because it was never deactivated on the old hardware.
    The only option I had was to contact Support via Chat or Phone. Since I like to keep track on what have been said by both parties, I decided to go for the chat option..
    If any of the Adobe Staff is reading along, the case number is 0215516123.
    In a nutshell; If you have a retail version of a discontinued product with adobe, they can reset the activation count without any problems. If you buy bulk and have volume license, it all comes to this; please upgrade to the latest version.. There is nothing we can do for you..
    Here is the complete chat log with 2 employees of Adobe, who are just not willing to help in ANY way.. I must say this really tested my patience and counting to ten skills..
    Still looking for a solution tho, so any help is appreciated highly!
    Thanks in advance!

    07:39:03
    ME:
    and thats probably because the old computers that we're phased out in 2010 had illustrator cs3 running on them. But since we didn't use it back then, we never thought about deactivating them.. Now the new styling manager wants to start working with Illustrator again, but I have the activation issue.

    Deepti:
    So you are facing issues with CS3 license , right?
    07:52:49
    ME:
    yes I could only activate 2 of the 11
    07:53:58
    Deepti:
    I  would have loved  to help you in getting these license activated however, we are not supporting CS3 anymore. This is a very old version of Creative suite that you have.
    07:55:44
    ME:
    I know that, but it is a license we paid for and still are i title to use according to the license rights.. And as I said, we have the intention to upgrade them this year to the latest CC or CS6 version. But we need to start somewhere again and still have these licenses. I work for 3 companies in the group I work for. And 2 of them have all of the latest versions available. This company is a little behind on things, but we do need your help to get further..
    08:03:06
    Deepti:
    I would have helped if it would  have been cs6 or CC. This is an obsolete product and we are not supporting it anymore. You can refer to forums.
    08:03:46
    ME:
    How will the forums help me on activating licenses.. I'm not asking for product support, I'm asking for license activation support, for licenses that we have paid for!
    08:04:53
    ME:
    Clearly it is only some reset button you have to use to empty out the registration/activations from before 2010.
    08:05:33
    ME:
    To show we are trying to keep up to date with licenses and latest versions you can see the volume licenses registered to
    08:06:05
    ME:
    I really don't understand the mindset where you don't help out a paying customer
    08:06:22
    Deepti:
    I am sorry but we don't have any reset button for volume licenses.
    08:07:23
    ME:
    It was ment figurely.. There must be something you can do to help? I get the feeling that the support you are "giving" only means getting customers to pay more for the latest versions.
    08:07:50
    ME:
    which as said we will upgrade somewhere this year.. But my stylists need training first
    08:08:03
    ME:
    Hence thats what we need to activate them for right now
    08:08:52
    ME:
    We paid for the license and are in title to use them.. But you are blocking that right now..
    08:09:09
    ME:
    Which is totally outrageous
    08:11:33
    Deepti:
    Yes you are entitled to use them. You have the serial key. You can install the product and use it till the time you want. It's just that Adobe has stopped providing support for obsolete versions.
    08:12:49
    ME:
    I understand, but since I cannot activate them over the internet It only works for 30 days... The connection is fine, the serial is volume licensing.. But adobe says no sorry cannot activate because of too many activations.. And I only used 2 out of 11.. So please provide me a solution!
    08:22:05
    Deepti:
    I am so sorry but there is nothing that I can do . I mean I don't have any deactivation button that I could use to deactivate the license for you.
    08:23:22
    ME:
    So what happens when a customer has CS6 and the hardware was disposed of, on which CS6 was installed and wasn't deactivated? He buys new hardware and has the same problem as I currently have.. What do you tell that customer? I'm sorry there is nothing we can do for you? I really doubt that..
    08:30:23
    Deepti:
    CS6 version is  still in the support boundary hence, if there is any activation issue that you are facing with CS6 , we would be supporting you for that.
    08:31:38
    ME:
    Wow.. I have never ever experienced such poor support for software as I have today with you from Adobe.. This is really dissapointing, especially if you spend that much money on licenses to be compliant..
    08:32:26
    ME:
    So please tell me, what options do I have to make this work?
    08:51:01
    ME:
    It would be appreciated if you can answer my question?
    08:59:50
    Deepti:
    I am sorry but this is out of support boundary. You can refer to the forums , I am sure you will find some information related to the activation queries.
    09:01:22
    ME:
    I am reading on the support forums that support of adobe needs to clear the current activations..
    09:01:34
    ME:
    Only you @ adobe can do that
    09:02:28
    ME:
    You should be able to tell me how many activations of the CS3 illustrator are currently done in the licensing portal
    09:02:37

    and you should also be able to clear them!

    We are a small company and we are planning to buy the volume license for the CS4 Desgin Premium. We all work on PC, except for one who uses MacOSX. Can the same license be used on both platforms? Thanks

    That's not cool, but thanks a lot for replying.
    And sorry for posting a question made a million times here.

  • Which License is good OEM, OLP or Volume Licensing for small company

    Dear Admins,
    Actually I am setting up a lab for a small company with 25 users. Confused which license to purchase. Vendor sent us quotation in which he mentions we have to purchase "HP Server DL-380 -G8 Intel Xeon 2.5GHZ " in order to install windows server
    2008 R2 OEM Edition CD. Actually I just want to know. Can't we purchase  a assembled computer/Machine and purchase Windows Server 2008 R2 OEM CD  for successful implementation?. Now, My question to you is. What is this OLP and OEM. Does OLP mean
    we can install Windows Server in assemebled computer or machine and OEM means only dedicate company machine is capable to install OEM edition, Just confused, Please let me know. It is just a small company with 25 users. What do you recommend. Thank you for
    your support.
    Best Regards,
    Fahad Ahmed. 

    Hi Fahad,
    Couple of things to remember as well
    OEM licences comes with the machine probably you have seen laptops and desktop has a windows key sticker that's an OEM license. Only limitation with OEM is you can't use OEM license anywhere else then the machine you have bought it with. If an OEM license
    machine dies license will die as well.
    With volume license you have the freedom to move around the license. If you have only one license on one machine at one time.
    Also when you buy a windows server license it comes with 5 user CALs. So that's why you have to buy 20 more.
    Now if you want to know what are the CALs, so CAL is a Client Access License require for a
    user/device to access windows server. For example if you have a user and he wants to access share files or printer from the server you will require a user CAL. So if 25 users will access the Server you will require 25 CALs.
    Best thing to do is to speak with your account Manager from Dell or HP regarding the license side as normally they are really good in helping.
    Hope this helps :)

  • Configuring RDS to specific NIC Adapter + Avoid Office 2013 Volume Licensing

    Background: Small Company basically 1 User (me)... I've recently purchased a new server class computer and have downloaded and installed Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials.  I have 2 routers, 1 for home use (192.168..) and other provided to me by the
    company I contract to (10.41..).  I have a 4 port independent NIC card.  I connect to a company configured VM through a Remote Desktop Connection.  I also need to run Lync 2013 on the Windows Server 2012 machine in order to communicate internally
    with other members of the company.
    My Understanding: In order to configure the remote desktop connection to my VM to use a specific NIC adapter I must first install the Remote desktop Session Host service.  Then I should be able to configure the RDP-TCP connection to use a specific NIC
    adapter.  However, when I install the Remote desktop Session Host Service and I try and run Lync 2013 I receive an message stating that because I'm running Remote Desktop Services on this server I need to purchase volume licensing for my Office 2013 product.
    Question: Is there a way for me to configure my Windows Server 2012 R2 environment so that I can first specify a specific NIC adapter to use during my RDP session into my VM and also allow me not to have to purchase volume licensing for the Office 2013 product.

    Hi Duane,
    As per my research, if you have RDS license and CAL installed still you need to purchase Office licensing to use office product. Office Professional Plus 2013 and Office Standard 2013 are licensed on a per-device basis. Users can only remotely access a copy
    of Office Professional Plus 2013 or Office Standard 2013 running on a network server from a licensed device. Therefore, your windows need the latest Office suite license assigned to the device.
    For more information.

    2.  Microsoft Office
    For Network Adapter, you can try PowerShell Command and rename your NIC specific to RDS so that you can identify that specific NIC is used by RDS for connection. For that you can do following things.
    List of Network Adapter: Get-NetAdapter 
    Rename Network Adapter: Rename-NetAdapter -Name "Wired Ethernet Connection 4" PublicInternet1
    Please find below snap and link for more information.

    Hope it helps!

  • Deactivate volume license

    I am leaving my current job and need to deactivate the volume license of Creative Suite 3 that I have running on my home computer so it can be given to the new employee. There is no "deactivate" option under Help. What do I need to do to make sure that the new employee is able to install CS3?

    Thanks--especially for the quick response. I promised my boss I would do this right, so I probably could have asked my question in a clearer way: Let's say I have a volume license installed on my work computer and I am getting rid of that computer and need to install CS3 on my new computer. What is the proper way to do this?
