Opensource Software Licensing (combining licenses)

Hello,
I'm struggling with several OSS licenses and especially with their compatibility to each other, so i need the wisom of the arch community once again:
I'm thinking about writing a plugin for a GPLv2-only(!) software. This plugin would use a library that i also want to create, which would need to use librarys under the Apache License V2.
As far as I've understood, the Apache license cannot be used with the GPLv2 - even if only linking with it.
Is it a possible solution to release my library (containing the apache libraries) under the LGPLv2.1 and then using it in my plugin (which would be under GPLv2-or-later)? Would the combination of the software, my plugin and my library turn the license into GPLv2 and so not being legal?
I hope someone of you can help me to wrap my head around this.
Regards
VR
EDIT: I think i've found a possible solution here. If i add this to my plugin's license (GPLv2) it doesn't change the license of my library (LGPLv2) and so the code under the apache license can then be used under it's own license - am I correct?

Hi Suhas ,
"what is now understand clearly is that i will be permitted to use the Windows Licensing on the USB to go drive as well"
I am sorry ,we misunderstood the "How is Windows To Go licensed " part.It states that the Windows To go can be used in the machines which are licensed by the Software Assurance.But it doesn`t state we can use the license of the application
products.
According to the "Can I use all my applications on Windows To go " part :
" However, any applications that use hardware binding (usually for licensing and/or digital rights management reasons) may not run when you roam your Windows To Go drive between different host computers ,and you may have to use those applications on the
same host computer every time"
To use these applications binded with licenses ,we need additional licenses.
Best regards

Hi I had to recover my SCCM media server from SQL and now having trouble to install Windows Update. When I deploy Windows Update, I can see status is "UKNOWEN".

"Windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms" Windows 8.1 Installation Error - Parallels

I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 via Parallels on my Macbook Pro.
I create a new VM and use the .ISO file and get the error: "Windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. Make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation."
I found this question was answered here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/b1021d66-9774-4b5b-b50b-ad860c5ecc89/windows-8-enterprise-rtm-installation-error?forum=w8itproinstall
However, following the steps of the solution did not work for me. I created a blank VM and chose Windows 8.1. After this, it asks me to insert the installation disc. I cannot figure out how to use the .ISO as the source at this point. I tried copying and
pasting the path to the file and dragging the file to the VM, but no luck.
If there is a way I can install this without this error message or by somehow getting the path to the .ISO that'd be perfect.

Hi,
According to your description, I would like to confirm if you have unchecked the Express installation box.
Be sure to uncheck 'Express Installation' when installing, otherwise Windows setup will fail with an error "cannot find license terms" and get stuck in a reboot cycle.
I suggest you refer to the following link to use Parallels Desktop to install Windows 8.1.

Hi! I've got CS3 Design Standard - the actual disks and Software License certificate. It was installed on my laptop which crashed and could therefore not be uninstalled. I have now installed it on my new MacBook Pro, but cannot get it registered with the serial number. Is it because it wasn't uninstalled on the previous laptop? What to do now?? Thx!

Maybe this can help someone else... I simply had to properly uninstall CS3 and reinstall it again after that. I think that sorted it! I also remember having a similar issue with Macs at work a couple of years back. Not sure whether the same applies to CS5/CS6. Here's a link on how to properly uninstall CS3 on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS. I'm on OS X 10.9.2 but it worked just fine. Remove Creative Suite 3 and CS3 products

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]"

ITunes error pop up box and software license agreement - can't launch iTunes

Microsoft does not provide support for the Crystal Reports products because Crystal Reports are SAP products, （http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317789）and we're not familiar with the license issue of this
product, I think you might need help in this SAP products support forum

My KMS server is running on Windows Server 2012 R2 and activated by Server 2012 KMS Key.
I would like to use the KMS server to activate many Windows 2008 R2 server, however, Error message "0xC004F050 The software licensing service reported that the product key is invalid" is appear when adding Windows Server 2008R2 KMS Key. The Windows

Anyone can help? thanks.

Hi Samson,
Based on my research, we need to choose associated KMS key based on the highest product being deployed in the product grouping hierarchy.
To choose the right Volume License key, please refer to this article:
How to Choose the Right Volume License Key for Windows
Please type the cmd "slmgr /dlv" on KMS Host and check if it has been activated successfully.
After configure KMS host, By default these KMS client computers will query DNS and locate your KMS host and activate
KMS Client Setup Keys
To reset computers to be KMS clients type the following at elevated command prompt:
Slmgr.vbs /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
Where xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx is the generic VL key from the following link.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj612867.aspx

How can I accept the Software License Agreement?

I have a Mac. I have had CS5 Design Premium Teacher and Student Edition for the last four years. A few weeks ago, I could no longer open up my product. Instead, a Software License Agreement popped up with the Adobe Application Manager. After I click "Accept", my program does not open. The Software License Agreement reappears. This continued to happen. I knew I had another download available, so I uninstalled Design Premium, and reinstalled it using my product key. However, even with the new install the problem persists. Adobe Online Support say they cannot help me with my issue and I should turn to the online forum. How can I fix this issue and open up my product? I need to use my programs!

Can't really visualise this. Can you post a screen shot of the message (but not if there are any personal details on screen)?
