Buenos días,
A fecha de ayer se ha corregido el report RPUDBSE0 en la ultima versión de la nota 1669941, para evitar que reaparezca el problema descrito en la nota 1595807 con las cuotas de IT e IMS de contratos de formación.
Si ya han ejecutado el report RPUDBSE0 anteriormente, bastará con que sigan los pasos descritos en la nota 1595807, pues los valores no han cambiado del año 2011 al 2012.
Adicionalmente, comentar que está disponible la versión 5 de la nota 1669941: se ha corregido un problema por el que podía llegar a actualizarse erróneamente la constante SIPRE, se adjuntan los valores de la constante para que puedan realizar las comprobaciones necesarias:
01.01.1985 31.12.1997 2.071 ESP
01.01.1998 31.12.1999 2.268 ESP

Un cordial saludo.Buenas tardes:
Algunos clientes han manifestado no estar de acuerdo con la Base de Cotización mínima diaria calculada con el report RPUDBSE0. En concreto han indicado que para los grupos 8 a 11 dicha base debería tener un importe de 25,09.
El cálculo de la base reguladora mínima diaria para los grupos 8 a 11 se hace en función del Salario mínimo interprofesional diario.
En concreto el cálculo de este año es:
SMI diario = 21.51 se considera el ajuste por la 14 pagas en las que siempre se considera el SMI
21.51 * 14 / 12 = 25.095 -> redondeado 25.10, que es el importe calculado actualmente por el report.
Ahora bien la cifra que está considerando el cliente daría una cifra por
debajo del mínimo de cotización anual fijado en el:
Real Decreto 1717/2012, de 28 de diciembre, por el que se fija el
salario mínimo interprofesional para 2013.
Artículo 3. Compensación y absorción
1. La revisión del salario mínimo interprofesional establecida en este
real decreto no afectará a la estructura ni a la cuantía de los salarios
profesionales que viniesen percibiendo los trabajadores cuando tales
salarios en su conjunto y en cómputo anual fuesen superiores a dicho
salario mínimo.
A tales efectos, el salario mínimo en cómputo anual que se tomará como
término de comparación será el resultado de adicionar al salario mínimo
fijado en el artículo 1 de este real decreto los devengos a que se
refiere el artículo 2, sin que en ningún caso pueda considerarse una
cuantía anual inferior a 9.034,20 euros.
La cifra que calcula el cliente de 25.09 daría un mínimo anual inferior
a los 9034.20 euros
25.09 * 30 * 12 = 9032.40
Por lo tanto no está previsto cambiar este cálculo al menos hasta la
publicación de la ley de cotización y su correspondiente boletín RED.
El cliente puede realizar el ajuste manual de las entradas generadas por
el report si así lo cree conveniente. -

Bienvenidos a todos:
El objetivo de este hilo (thread) es completar la información entregada por SAP a través de la nota de novedades 167718.
Para evitar un manejo ineficiente de este hilo, sugerimos que cualquier pregunta/discusión que se quiera iniciar sobre un tema concreto se haga con la creación de un nuevo hilo.
Les animamos a todos a colaborar.Buenos días,
Sobre el Real Decreto 1493/2011 (inclusión en el régimen general de personas que participen en programas de formación)
Según el siguiente extracto del Boletín RED 2011/11
Estas modificaciones estarán implementadas en el Sistema RED en el mes de febrero de 2012, por lo que
será a partir de esa fecha cuando las empresas podrán presentar y transmitir las liquidaciones
correspondientes a tales cuentas de cotización a través de dicho Sistema y obtener el Recibo de Liquidación
correspondiente para su pago electrónico o cargo en cuenta. Las liquidaciones que se presenten con
anterioridad a dicha fecha serán rechazadas por el Sistema.
A tales efectos, el Director General aprobará próximamente una Resolución por la cual las empresas podrán
presentar e ingresar en febrero de 2012, sin recargo, las cuotas referidas a los periodos de liquidación de
noviembre y diciembre de 2011
los cambios para la cotización no se podrán reportar hasta febrero de 2012, y entonces también se podrán reportar las liquidaciones de noviembre y diciembre sin recargo para estos casos. Por el momento no hay previsión de la disponibilidad de estos cambios en SAP. Por otro lado se está revisando si es necesaria alguna modificación por parte de SAP para el tema de Afiliación.
Actualización: Sí parece ser que la cotización tiene que estar bien calculada según la nueva normativa a partir del 1 de noviembre y también el tema de Afiliación, aunque no se vaya a poder reportar correctamente por Sistema RED hasta febrero del 2012. Desarrollo está analizando y trabajando en los cambios que pudieran ser necesarios y actualizaremos el hilo con las novedades.
Saludos.

Hola Lucia,
Con respecto a la información publicada En el thread "Novedades y Cambios Legales 2014" respecto al nivel mínimo de Support Packages que se requiere para la aplicación de Cambios Legales 2015.
Indicas que para SAP ECC 6.0 el nivel mínimo es:
SAP_HR ECC 6.0 B0
EA-HR ECC 6.0 B0
¿ Es obligatorio que estén a nivel B0 los dos componentes ?.
O es posible que el nivel de EA-HR ECC 6.0 sea inferior.
Gracias.
Saludos.
Rosa Quirós.Hola Lucia Iturbe
Tenía entendido que los cambios publicados en Enero requieren un SP no anterior a 18 meses atrás.
En nuestro sistema hemos actualizado al SP75, justo un nivel inferior al que mencionas en tu post.
SAP_HR EnhP6.04 76
EA-HR EnhP 604 76
Puedes confirmar pf que es así y que no habrá problemas para implementar los cambios legales de Enero 2015?
PD: estoy buscando por estos foros... Sabes si hay ya alguna nota/novedad respecto a la publicación en el Boletín Oficial del Estado de la Ley 26/2014 (el pasado 28 de noviembre)

Buenos dias a todos, Tengo la version 2005 A PL 46.
El informe 347 para su calculo coge solo las facturas, yo en la empresa hago tambien asientos manuales y los asientos de Adquisicion de Activos fijos que tambien quiero que entren en este Informe.
He visto en el Registro diario que hay un check de Informe 347 para los asientos, lo he marcado pero sigue sin congerme estos asiento en el Informe.¿He hecho algo mal? . Si no es asi como habria que proceder para que te coja estos asientos.
Muchas gracias de antemano a todos
Edited by: Rui Pereira on Feb 23, 2009 4:33 PMNo te los coge ni los cogerá.
Tienes dos opciones:
1.- En el portal en la localización para España tienes un AddOn (uno para sql2000 y otro para sql2005)que lo calcula.
2.- SAP España ha desarrollado un AddOn de impuestos (300, 347 y 349) que lo calcula lo puedes obtener via el denominado paquete Easy Start. Este paquete también te incluye el AddOn para Crystal Reports.
Por desgracia no hace ni el 303 ni el 340 y creo que si lo hacen será vía pagándolo.
La verdad es que en cuanto a adecuaciones legales deja bastante que desear tanto el programa como SAP dando soluciones. Para España ha habido multitud de cambios legales que no hace el programa y que no se ha adaptado para que lo haga ni tiene visos que lo vaya a hacer. En resumen "lamentable". -
Cotización de ccnómina calculado después de función ESV00
Buenas tardes,
Tenemos un concepto que se genera una vez calculada la base de cotización del mes (después de la función ESV00).
Dicho concepto no cotizaba, pero con los cambios legales de principios de año, tiene que empezar a cotizar.
El problema está claro... como se puede hacer que cotice un concepto, una vez procesada la ESV00??
La opción de calcularlo con la base reguladora del mes previo no es viable.
Volver a procesar la ESV00 (restaurando la IT vía AIT) tampoco, ya que da errores la función por tablas internas ya cubiertas.
Se os ocurre alguna alternativa (que no sea replicar el cálculo de la ESV00)?
Un saludo,Hola Beatriz, efectivamente se trata de lo mismo, el pago del EPSV, ya me preguntaba si era el único con este problema, veo que no.
La verdad es que en nuestro caso el número de empleados afectados son bastantes, con salarios variables de un mes a otro, por lo que estar realizando cargas mensuales, es algo que los usuarios de nóminas no verán con buenos ojos.
De todas formas es una solución, pero me gustaría pensar que temporal, y que SAP nos ofrecerá alguna solución estándar que no pase por un desarrollo a medida. -
Hola,
¿Para cuándo va a estar disponible la nota con los cambios de afiliación a los que hace referencia el Boletín 2012/08?
En caso de no estar pronto no quedará otro remedio que realizarlos a mano.
Un saludo,
Pablo.Estimado Pablo,
Desarrollo está trabajando en estos cambios y espera entregarlos próximamente. Avisaremos de la disponibilidad en la nota de novedades y en este foro.
El fichero de tablas comunes indica estos nuevos valores como de "futuro uso"; por favor no dudéis en avisarnos en caso de comenzar a ser requeridos y no estar entregados.

I have recently got a ipad 2 Christmas of 2012 and if was fine all day and I got a shower and I got out and I looked at my ipad it was fine I went into my room and layer it down and when I went to go pick it up it was cracked down the middle :( will apple cover this ? Does iPads come with a 1 year warrenty ? Will they fix it I only had it 3 months .
The standard 1-year Apple Care warranty only covers defects in materials and workmanship, not damage due to accidents.
Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)
iPad model
Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
iPad mini
$219
iPad 3rd, 4th generation
$299
iPad 2, iPad
$249
A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
Make a Genius Bar Reservation
http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.

How to reset my macbook air 2012?
hi,, my name is jovito ,,i have this macbook air 2012,, and i planning to buy the new version,, and my friend want to buy my 2012 air.. but before he buy this air,, he wants me to reset it first.. and i dont kmow how to.. please help.. thank you...
Before you sell or give away your computer, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
Run the Apple Hardware Test or Apple Diagnostics. The buyer will do this (or he should), and you don't want to be surprised by the results.
Reset the PRAM and the SMC, which might contain personal information.
If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted
If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
Erase the data partition(s) with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall the original OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by booting into Internet Recovery (option-command-R at the startup chime.) If you installed from discs or a read-only USB key, deliver those to the new owner.
The new owner will have to repurchase the software, if need be, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer them either.
Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.") -
2012 Mac Mini becoming very slow when using finder
Hi!
I've had my 2012 Mac Mini (10.9 Mavericks, Dual Booted W/ Windows) since February 2014 (Late to the party, I know) and, up until about a week ago, it was fine.
Then, all of a sudden, it starts being unusabley slow the moment I try to do anything in finder. Relaunching finder makes it a bit more bareable, and rebooting fixes it completely until I next open finder. I thought this may have been one of those rare times when a Mac gets a virus, however, AVG found nothing. The next thing I found was that it was to do with the fact that my hard drive was full (it was quite full) and that if I was using all of my 4GB of RAM that my Mac would use virtual memory, and that this would effect the speed if I didn't have a lot of HDD space. However, despite removing nearly 1/2 of the things on my HDD, the problem still persists. I have basically ruled out visiting "the local" apple store, as I'm in the middle of nowhere. the nearest one is around 3 hours away.
Thanks,
Dan1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however.
For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, and a technological fix is not going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the scam artists. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
Software from an untrustworthy source
Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent. or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, your browser, or anything else.
Rogue websites such as Softonic and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission.
Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
Unexpected events
You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an institutional policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every email attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices. -
I have bought iphone 4s on July 12, 2012.in Zurich in offical Apple store (Glattzentrum) and after one and a half months it just turned off and not working since. I tried three charges and nothing (it detects that charger is on but it cannot be charged). So now I have a not working phone only two and something months after purchase. But the problem is that in Croatia we have two apple reseller stores and neither don't want to exchange it, although is under warranty!!!! The closest stores are 250 km from Zagreb...Of course I have contacted Apple store in Zurich but they told me to come in Switzerland or to send credit card data for receiving new iphone, the problem is I don't have credit card with 700 euro on it!!!! what to do?? who to call ??? where to get replacment device cause this is disaster???? I wanted to buy ipad but after all this I doubt to do so...I have not working Iphone payed around 700 chf or 800 usd and cannot change it in my country, is it possible for such vast organization like apple that this things can occur????? So much for customer support
“the EU is considered one country for warranty purposes“
Not the case at all whilst there are harmonized minimum standards governing guarantees, warrantees remain national as these vary (Add to) minimum legal protection.
Some how you need to get your phone back to Switzerland. -
Hi,
Does anyone know if a 2012 Mac Mini will allow me to install 10.7 Lion on it? We use Lion Server but don't want to upgrade to 10.8 because of missing features.
ThanksYou will not be able to install a version of OSX that
is older than the version that the Mac was orininally
shipped with. This would typically be the version
that was installed when the Mac model was first released.
The Lion installer itself may not even recognize a 2012
as a valid system.
There have been some that have found ways by jumping
through hoops, crossing fingers, and heavily modifying the
OS that have accomplished the feat of installing and older
OSX than what the Mac was shipped with, but the result typically
results in a highly unstable system.
As for purchasing anything off of Ebay, it is definately a
buyer beware situation.
If you own a legal copy of Lion and the Server app for Lion,
you can in fact install and run it on a virtual machine with
Parallels or VWware Fusion. This will work if your only
concerns are software. So, to the OP, if all you need to
do is run a server on 10.7, you can do it in a VM. As a
matter of fact, this is done in the server industry all the time. -
How to install Sticky Notes in Windows Server 2012 R2
I want to install Sticky Note in Windows Server 2012 R2. If this app is not available in Server 2012 then which is the
best "Sticky Note" application for this platform.
ThanksHere are instructions for 2008 -
http://www.win2008r2workstation.com/sticky-notes/ I'm not sure about the legality of that, as I think Microsoft has some rules in their license about copying files from one distribution to another. You would need a lawyer to check on that.
Otherwise, a simple Bing search will turn up freeware apps you can download.
