On the Oracle XE BETA Trial License agreement

Hi all,
I've got a question concerning the Oracle XE BETA Trial license (I'm referring to the document behind the "License Agreement" link in the "links" pane on the right top of the database home page)
I understand that the Oracle XE Beta License grants permission to use the product for evaluation purposes. I also understand that the license is for a limited period of time (one month) only. The things I'm not really clear on are these:
1) the license states that "You may not use the Software for any commercial or production purpose". What exactly constitutes commercial usage? For example, if I were to provide some business service, and want to allow my customers to enter a restricted or otherwise inaccessible web site powered by Oracle XE, Is that commercial usage? After all, people have to pay before they can access the site altough they are not paying for the database - they are paying for my content.
Also, I though I understood from Tom's podcast that you can redistribute Oracle XE in an embedded form - Does this mean I can't charge money for my own product once I embed Oracle XE?
2) will the production version have the same limitations regarding commercial usage of the database? What about the limited period of time?
Any replies are greatly appreciated.
kind regards
Roland

Tom,
thanks for the quick reply. I did browse around the forum pages, but no luck. Of course, I didn't do the obvious and hit the search button - my bad, truly sorry.
I already gathered the production release is planned for the end of februari: great news!
Just to be totally clear on this: does 'production environment' mean that I can legally charge my customers money for use of a web-application powered by XE?

  • I am having trouble finding the Accept button for my licensing agreement and would like to accept.

    I am having trouble finding the Aceept button for my licensing agreement and would like to accept.

    Well, it's probably below the table... Sounds like you didn't consider the system requirements and installed on a system with too small screen resolution. If so, only using a larger res may possibly revela the magic button...

  • Oracle Client 10g XE licensing inconsistencies

    Oracle Client XE downloads require to accept "OTN License Agreement for Oracle Database Express Edition"
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/licenses/xe-license-152020.html
    but debain package oracle-xe-client_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb contains different license in the file
    /usr/share/doc/oracle-xe-client/copyright
    This licenses do not match and the former states:
    "BETA TRIAL LICENSE: ...provided to you by Oracle solely for evaluation purposes until January 31, 2006"
    Does it effectively means that Oracle Client 10g XE cannot be legaly used at all?

    OTN uses the same license for both client and server download. See
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/express-edition/downloads/102xelinsoft-102048.html
    In my question I asked only about license inconsistencies on client software available as oracle-xe-client_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb. I did not check if oracle-xe_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb or oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb have the same sort of license inconsistencies, because I am currently not interested in XE database server.

  • How is licensed the Oracle Service Bus? wasnt it part of the SOA Suite?

    Why
    it is not clear for us how the oracle service bus is licensed, in terms that we thought it was included on the Oracle SOA Suite , we are referring to newer releases
    is it licensed a part from the soa suite?
    Thanks!

    thanks!
    so just to put it clear, In case in which we are licencing both weblogic an soa suite the enterprise edition the OSB is included on the licence fee right?
    3.2 Oracle Service Bus
    Oracle Service Bus is a lightweight SOA integration platform, or "enterprise service bus". Oracle Service Bus includes Oracle SOA Suite Adapters (see Chapter 5, "Oracle Fusion Middleware Adapters").
    Oracle Service Bus is licensed as an option to Oracle WebLogic Suite and is also included in Oracle SOA Suite for Oracle Middleware and Oracle Mobile Suite. Users running Oracle SOA Suite for Oracle Middleware on WebLogic Server Basic may not run Oracle Service Bus (see Section 3.5, "Oracle SOA Suite for Oracle Middleware and Oracle BPEL Process Manager Option Licensing with Oracle Internet Application Server").
    Prerequisite: A license to Oracle WebLogic Suite is a prerequisite to license and use Oracle Service Bus.

  • Application Manger Software License Agreement for Acrobat Pro won't let me choose "Accept."

    Just purchased the 12 month subscription to Creative Cloud and got most all programs I wanted installed, including Acrobat Pro. However, when attempting to open a PDF file an Application Manager window pops up with "CS6 Creative Cloud Membership" in the title and "Adobe Software License Agreement" in the header.
    There is no other text in said window besides the options "Quit" and "Accept" in the lower right corner; below the Adobe logo in the upper left corner there is a drop menu triangle that opens an empty drop box.
    The system we are using is a refurbished iMac 27" running OS x 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Please advise; this is very frustrating.

    Fix described here: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/known-issues-acrobat-xi-reader.html (see Blank EULA screen)
    "Blank EULA screen. Problem: Mac OS only. On launch, a blank EULA screen appears, which cannot be accepted, and Acrobat does not run. This problem can appear if you have any products installed from CCM or from Creative Suite, and you tried installing Acrobat XI from a different source.
    Workaround: Launch any other product which is part of the CCM or Creative suite. Then, deactivate it by choosing Help > Deactivate. Quit the application. Then, launch Acrobat and accept the EULA. Then, for the CCM subscription product, launch it and select License This Software to enable the CCM product again. If a CS application, launch it and reactivate it. [3338419]"

  • Receiving User License Agreement Message When Attempting To Open PDF - 10.1.0

    Recently upgraded to Reader 10.1.0. When attempting to open a specific PDF document I receive the following dialog.
    This only occurs with one specific PDF, as I have opened other PDF's with the IE browser plugin, as well as PDF's saved to my local machine using Adobe Reader.  I can open the PDF if the document is saved first, and then opened through Reader by performing a File -> Open.
    Any ideas on how to correct the issue?  The application was deployed using enterprise deployment tools along with the Reader customization kit.  I did check the checkbox for Accept User License Agreement in the Customization wizard.

    I also was pushing the
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Privileged
    THat didn't seem to have any effect.
    I think the other key you had might be the one causing your password protected issue. It is the only difference between mine and your setups from these posts.
    So it comes down
    1: useing the adobe website to upgrade to 10.1.0 breaks the reader integration in different ways.
    2: installing full version from ftp site fixes the issue except for password protected pdf if you have the
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\FeatureLockDown set to 0
    changing back to 1 repairs this issue.
    Hmmmm maybe 10.2

  • STLPort4 Software License agreement

    We are looking to use STLport4 for Solaris and (according to Legal) need to go through the Open Source Software process since there appears to be no fee & no signed license agreement.
    The Sun Studio 11 Runtime Libraries Readme lists the conditions for reproducing and distributing portions of the Runtime. libstlport.so.1 is listed in the section titled C++ for Solaris SPARC and Solaris x86 Platform Editions:
    http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/documentation/ss11/mr/READMEs/runtime.libraries.html
    However, they also reference a Software License Agreement on this page.
    We would like to read the correct agreement for STLport.
    We found this:
    http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/documentation/ss11/mr/READMEs/THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.html
    Is this it? If not can someone point me to a copy?
    Thanks

    The Software License Agreement (SLA) is the license for the product. You should be able to find it in the LEGAL directory in the installed product. Here's a link to the Sun Studio 11 Software License Agreement as well:
    https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewLicense-Start?LicenseUUID=0TLACUFBYoIAAAEYO5o5AXiO&ProductUUID=lAHACUFB31QAAAEYgUI5AXrt&cnum=&evsref=&sln=
    The Runtime Libraries Readme provides expands on those rights with specific components, including stlport libraries:
    http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/documentation/ss11/mr/READMEs/runtime.libraries.html
    The Third Party License License Readme contains notices and additional terms and conditions for licensed 3rd party software components included in Sun Studio 11 (including stlport):

  • App Store Artwork License Agreement - Sign it?

    Hello,
    If I want to use the App Store Logo (http://devimages.apple.com/global/elements/promos/availon_appstore.png) on my website, is it required to sign the "iPhone App Store Artwork License Agreement" below?? I already registered iPhone Developer Program.
    http://devimages.apple.com/iphone/artwork/agreement.pdf
    Thank you.
    Raymond

    Raymond,
    you only need to sign it if you want to use the graphics for a brochure or on your website or whatever promotion you want to make! So, yes, you have to fill in the name. I tried without first and got a rejection e-mail and was not allowed to use the artwork.
    You don't have to have the App in the store to get the agreement, only thinkg you need is a name you will stick to.
    Besides that both processes of haveing your App reviewed and getting the artwork approval are - at least from my experience so far - completely seperate from each other!!! I once got my App rejected without having the Artwork Agreement rejected and vice versa...
    just don't be to anxious...get it going! They won't shoot you if you make something wrong. Worst that can happen is that they send you an e-mail to change this or make that...

  • Thank you for accepting the OTN Beta License Agreement

    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/express-edition/downloads/index.html
    Interesting that the production XE license agreement says: "You must accept the OTN License Agreement for Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 to download this software. "
    Then when you accept, it says "Thank you for accepting the OTN Beta License Agreement; you may now download this software."
    (or should this be in the XE forum?)

    This is fixed, thanks for reporting!

  • Will agreeing to a CS6 Master Collection "Adobe Software License Agreement" initiate the trial?

    I downloaded a CS6 Master Collection trial but I'd like to try the applications individually instead.
    I am attempting to open a .pdf and Acrobat X is asking me to accept an Adobe Software License Agreement.  But the window for this agreement says "CS6 Master Collection" in the upper left corner.
    Will accepting this Acrobat/Master Collection agreement initiate a CS6 Master Collection trial?

    The simplest solution would be to Install the free Adobe Reader to view the PDFs.
    Acrobat is included in the Master Collection, and is now the default PDF viewing application. Starting Acrobat, I believe, will start off the trial countdown.
    But to be fully functional, if you don't need the entire trial right now, you can go ahead and uninstall it.
    And to buy extra time, install individual trials of products as you need them. Just remember that you can try out a product only once on a machine.

  • I see the license agreement as HTML source code

    Hello,
    I downloaded a trial version of Adobe Acrobat 9.0,
    but after I had installed it and start it, it wants me to agree on the license agreement.
    but my problem is that I can't click on Agree nor Disagree because I see only HTML source code
    see the printscreen I added below.
    does anyone know what is wrong, or wat I have to install to 'use' these HTML pages whitin Adobe Acrobat?
    I also downloaded the software again and installed it again and it happens also with trial versions of photoshop,
    I have not tested other software so far.
    Thanks in advance

  • License Agreement keeps popping up - CS5.5 (trial)

    Dreamweaver CS5.5 stand-alone downloaded and installed just fine. No errors.
    It asked me for a serial number and I said (install on trial basis).
    Now when I go to run the program it pops up the "Adobe Software License Agreement".  I click "accept" and it just pops up again in about 10 second.  Over and over again. 
    I can't get past it.
    There are no error messages in the windows log files.
    I tried deleleting the cache file
    I don't want to run the cleaner tool because I also have "Production Premium" products that I don't want to have to reinstall.
    I'm running Windows 7 64bit.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.
    Thanks

    I have phoned Adobe on 4 occasions now re this problem, I too downloaded the CS5.5 trial & purchased an annual subscription. The first technical advisor told me to delete the wrong files, then told me to get them out of the trash & put them back etc. so everything was screwed. Luckily I purchased back up disks, uninstalled & re-installed and everything was fine but 2 weeks on it started doing it again. I have uninstalled again, used the cleaner tool, re-installed, created a new user basically everything apart from re formatting my Mac and starting again. I am self employed and this is my only workstation, I have lost 4 days production so what now? any advice, I am extremely stressed & so are my customers.

  • How to get the Oracle license#

    Hello,
    Is it possible to get the Oracle(10g) license# from the already installed DB.
    We are using Oracle 10g licensed version.
    pls, let me know How to get the license# information?
    thanks
    Edited by: Zerandib on Dec 10, 2008 9:16 AM

    Zerandib,
    Please check this link
    Oracle License verstion; PIN number
    and oracle install doesn't require any license# or part# or code# to unlock. What you have is licensing agreement with Oracle on some terms (best known to your licensing/purcharing/IT dept) how your company will be using Oracle? But if your intent is to learn and educate yourself, you can download and install oracle for free. Once again Oracle software doesn't require any license or code# to install but an agreement for its Usage.
