SharePoint2010 WSP Licensing.

Dear Friends,
We are working on Product for SharePoint.
We stuck in Licensing of WSP(Farm Solution) in SharePoint.
In our scenario we have to create licence copy of WSP restricted for WFE and year validity.
This is request please help us how we can move ahead for licensing.
If you have any another option it will be welcome.

Thanks and Regards, Digambar Kashid

Yes, I have done it in past

The licensing method is custom and is up to you on how to do it.
Some common methods are:
Serial Number, this can be added to the sharepoint installer codeplex solution pretty easily and then verify the serial number against a server
Licensing WSP installed with product, this is the method that Bamboo and SharePoint Boost use where there is a licensing component installed with their product. This allows them to verify the number of users and servers activated with your license key.
Former is simpler, but ultimately not particularly secure, the latter is more difficult to implement but is more secure. However, piracy with SharePoint from what I've seen really hasn't been a major issue.

What are Reporting Services SharePoint 2013 licensing requirements?

Hi All
I have a SharePoint Enterprise 2013 farm of 2 WFE, 2 APP servers. And an 2012 SQL Enterprise server.
I need Reporting services to be on the farm.
I read all the SharePoint Farm servers running SSRS must have an SQL license, which seems excessive. I assume it stands as "Additional Software" from the Product Use Document in SQL. As long as the SQL server is licensed?
What are the licensing options, keeping in mind that there is an SSRS Add-on (which I believe is freely available), and an SSRS instance?
Cheers

SSRS instances require a SQL Enterprise or BI license, depending on how you want to license it. This license is separate from the SQL Database Engine if not running on the same server.

Sharepoint 2013 Licensing

What are the license requirements for a Sharepoint 2013 4-node cluster?
Microsoft manager to programmer: You start coding. I'll go find out what they want ...

If you're running SharePoint Standard or Enterprise, each server must have the appropriate Server CAL. For end users, each user needs a SharePoint Standard CAL (if running Standard features) or a Standard + Enterprise CAL for Enterprise features.

SharePoint WSP deployment not updating List GUID to match target site?

We have done a "Save as Template" SharePoint site collection with a site and a sub-site saved as two WSP template files, including content. These deploy fine to our Staging server when we put them into a path-based site collection.
However, we are expected to use a host-named site collection. Deploying to that, when accessing a page gives “list not found” error on the top site and “Invalid Page Layout” error on the subsite.
Using ULS I can see that on the top site SharePoint is trying to access the Pages List using the GUID from our development server. The GUID for the actual Pages Library is different on the Staging server, as the Pages Library was created when the Publishing
Feature was activated. I don’t see any easy way to update the baked-in list GUID which normally SharePoint would update as part of the deployment. Especially as it is a system library.
In this
thread I did find that this was a known issue up until the November 2014 CU, however, having upgraded the server to the December 2014 CU we still have the problem.
I have also noticed that for our Page Layouts on the subsite SharePoint has not updated the URLs (they still point at out Dev Server), resulting in "Invalid page Layout" errors.
Any suggestions for how to tell SharePoint the correct GUID to use for our Pages Library would be appreciated.

The only solution to this was to change the dev server to use Host Named Site Collections. We exported the (path based) Site Collection and then reimported it using the Backup-SPSite/Restore-SPSite powershell from here:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc424952.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
We were then able to produce WSPs which the Staging server could understand - the lists updated correctly when deployed if the origin was a host-named dev site.

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).

Create a custom Master Page in SharePoint Foundation 2013

Hi,
I am new to SharePoint foundation.
I am trying to create a custom master page and save it as template, so that i can use it for all other sub sites. But i don't know where to start. Also i tries searching in Google, i got results for share point and not for share point foundation.
So, Please give me a step by step procedure or a link to step by step procedure on how to create a master page, save it as template and use it for a sub site.
Thanks in advance,
Gowtham R

Few points to note related to SharePoint Master page:
You don't need to create master page template. If you deploy your master page in site collection level you can reuse the same master page in subsites without copying again and again, rather just by referencing
You have not mentioned how you are going to deploy your master page. If you have any Visual Studio (VS) solution already, try to add your master page in the VS solution and deploy your master page (and other branding components) as SharePoint WSP
solution.
Deploying master page will not activate the master page, you need to use some kind of 'Web Level Feature' to activate your branding - the feature will basically set the master page property of SharePoint site to your custom master page.
Please follow the links below for steps by steps instructions (and you will find many just by googling 'sharepoint master page visual studio'):

SharePoint 2013 - Team Foundation Server Dashboard Update job failed

Hi
I integrated TFS 2012 with SharePoint 2013 on Windows Server 2012. SharePoint 2013 farm have 3 WFE and 3 App servers
here what i did
Install TFS extension for SP 2013 on each of SP server and granted access of SP web application to TFS server successfully
in CA - I deployed TFS solutions (wsp) successfully) for wfe3 server
microsoft.teamfoundation.sharepoint.dashboards.wsp
microsoft.teamfoundation.sharepoint.dashboards15.wsp
microsoft.teamfoundation.sharepoint.wsp
I have a number of SC with TFS features activated and connect with TFS server project site working but I really don't know much about TFS.
What I see is there are 2 TFS timer jobs "Team Foundation Server Dashboard Update" for each of the web application (web1 and web2)
running every 30 minutes.
All jobs on web1 are running and succeed and ran on wfe1 and app3
but all jobs on web2 are failed and ran on wfe2, wfe3 and app1, app2 with the following error "An exception occurred while scanning dashboard sites. Please see the SharePoint
log for detailed exceptions"
I looked into the log file and it is show the same error but nothing more.
If anyone experience this or have any advice on how to resolve this, please share
Thanks
Swanl

Hi Swanl,
It seems that the Dashboard Update timer job will loop through the existing site collection, regardless if it is associated to a TFS site.
If one or more of this site collection is down/corrupted, this will cause the job to fail.
You can try the following step to check if the sites are good:
1. Go to Central Administration > Application Management > View all Site Collections. Proceed to click on each Site collection, and notice the properties for the site on the right hand site.
If the properties does not show up or errors out, this will need to be fixed.
2. Detach the SharePoint content database and reattach it to see if the issue still occurs.
Thanks,
Victoria

SharePoint Farm 2013 Topology in Production

In our farm, Current total users are 150 and unique users hardly 30+. Data size we have is currently 50 GB. Since this data clearly tells very less no of users and less hits and less size, how many servers you recommend in farm?
Do you recommend having
A)3 servers in farm ( 1 app, 1 wfe & 1 sql)
B)2 servers in farm ( 1 app & wfe and 1 SQL)
We would like to go with B, we planned and decided to go with this option B
with single SharePoint server and if it fails we can take down time and bring back , by doing this do we have any other issues?
Considering the SharePoint server license commercial aspect we are planning to have single server in farm where we load that single server with high end hardware configuration. By practing do we get into any other issues, if so what kind of issues. Please
elaborate. I am really looking for this answers in detail.
I understand issue of single point of failure of the SharePoint server, but we take this into consideration and we take incharge of it by taking downtime. But what are other strong issues that will not say to Option B.
Thanks, Ram Ch

Here is a
link to the "Topologies for SharePoint 2013" poster. (warning: PDF). You will note that the 2 server topology is certainly listed (with one SharePoint box running all SharePoint services and a second server for the SQL Databases). That server
topology is listed as supporting a small farm, and a small farm according to MS will support up to 10,000 users!! How do they get 10,000 users? There is an assumption that only about 10% of users will ever be active at the same time, so their 10,000 number
really means 1000 active users. And by active, they mean an average of one mouse click per 60-90 seconds. So if 1000 users click about once every 60 seconds, that means a request rate of 16 per second, which a decent server should be able to handle.
So, a single SharePoint box should be able to handle 150 users without any issue at all, provided the server has enough memory and such to properly run all the necessary services (if the disk is thrashing due to low memory while a search crawl is running,
you're going to have issues, for example).

How to provide internet access for a site collection in SharePoint Foundation 2010

Hi all,
I am working on SharePoint Foundation 2010. I have to make a site collection available on internet.
Only one site collection is to be brought on internet rest of the site collections should not be accessible from outside.
How do I achieve this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
As per my knowledge, you have to create new Web Application for your site to publishing it to internet. Since internet settings can be done at web application so create new one and then backup your existing site and restore in new web app.
You can refer below thread for licensing:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/b63b3643-d0c7-45d2-8372-364fda348ed0/sharepoint-foundation-licensing-on-internetfacing-server?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious

Licensing Requirements

What are the Sharepoint 2013 licensing requirements of an intranet with approx 250 users with two Web Servers with all the application roles installed, additional if I use Enteprise licensing would such a farm support enteprise search?

As well as Server licenses, you will also need user CALs, You must also consider Server OS and SQL licenses.
Regarding the question about search, SharePoint provides an Enterprise grade search engine at all levels of licensing, however there is specific functionality available to users with Enterprise CALs.
In order to use these Enterprise Features (as well as BI, PerformancePoint, Visio Services, InfoPath and other Enterprise features), your users will need both a Standard CAL and an Enterprise CAL as these are known as Additive CALs.
As to will that farm topology support it, then that greatly depends on a large number of factors such as the size of your document corpus, the number of users actively searching at any one time and how often you will be performing search crawls etc. So,
yes it probably will, but it depends.

Custom user licensing

Hello
I develop a product for SharePoint (2010-2013) which propose a new kind of document library. I want to sell it with a license per user. I don't want to rely on the SP2013 online licensing feature.
I develop custom administration pages to register licence keys (specific to my product). Licence keys are stored in SPPersistedObject of the SPFarm. Each licence key gives a number of authorized users; for example you can buy a licence for 100
users. I want that a licence is dedicated to a farm. I developed administration pages to manage these keys.
No my goal is to control the number of users authorized to use my product. Only authorized users can use my special document library.
That's where I need some advices to achieve this: how to manage and store the authorized user list ? Here are some options I thought about :
- a list of SPUser ids in a SPPersistedObject of the farm. Pros: easy to count the number of authorized users. Cons: this object can be heavy (if you have thousands of users) and managing the authorized users in an administration page would be painful.
- a list of SPGroup ids in a SPPersistedObject of the farm. Pros: lightweight and easy to manage. Cons: how to control the number of authenticated users ? If the number of users in registered SPGroup exceeds the license user count, what can I do? Reject
access to my component for all users ?
This is not a post about a specific technical problem, but any idea or advice of experienced people would be great.
J.

Hi,
Per my knowledge, the role of SharePoint in licensing is that of a broker: once it retrieves a license token from the Office Store, it allows license managers to add or remove users to a given license (up to the number purchased).
However, it does not enforce the license. Your app must add code to enforce licensing.
To add code to license the apps contains three steps:
import a test license, add code to your app that retrieves and validates the license, and then make decisions based on the outcome.
For more information, you can have a look at the following articles.

A question about SharePoint 2013 CAL

Hi all,
I have a question about SharePoint 2013 licensing. We are at the moment using SPS 2010, for 2015 we are going to use SharePoint 2013. We licensed SharePoint 2010 with enterprise CALs and we feel that most of its features are not being used by us. The only
thing that we use is publishing InfoPath forms to form libraries within SharePoint, do we need to have Full enterprise license to use this feature? Or would the standard CAL suffice to do this function. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

InfoPath Forms services is an Enterprise license feature. Anyone using InfoPath forms will need an Enterprise cal in 2013.

Anyone use Cloudshare for Sharepoint development?

We need to develop some sharepoint solutions for both existing and future customers. Version varys, and we only have a MS Sharepoint 2013 license through MS Partner currently purchases. We have hence been looking at Cloudshare and there Team License as it fits in well as we have 3 developers that need the access to create.
Does anyone use or have used, or even use an alternateive that we can look at?
Any comments appreciated.

Not for imaging purposes.
You could have an environment that is ready-to-go with the bits installed, but not configured. You would then have a post-imaging script that would configure the farm. In this process, you would also need to make sure SQL Server was aware of the server's
new name (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143799.aspx).

What is the best approach to setup intranet and internet sites in SharePoint 2013?

I am planning to setup a internet and intranet website for one of our client. What is the best approach to setup this kind of environment?
Some of the users (registered users) from the internet should be able to access information in the intranet site. I have created two web applications for intranet and internet. Is it the right way to go forward?
Thanks in advance! :)
LM

Hi Laemon,
Creating two separate web applications, one for Internet site and the other for Intranet is the right thing you have done.
1. To properly plan creation of your web application, site collection and website is of utmost important to ensure you build your site in a professional and most recommended way. Go through this article from Technet that would help you plan your site in
SharePoint 2013.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263267.aspx
2. Planning and choosing the right authentication type is also a very important decision. I recommend you to go through the below article if you have not already gone through.
Plan for user authentication methods in SharePoint 2013
3. Plan for licensing for your SharePoint 2013 Internet Facing Website.
Licensing Internet Sites Built on SharePoint 2013
SharePoint 2013 licensing for Internet facing sites
4. To grant access to registered users to Intranet site (as you mentioned in question), if you created both web applications in same farm (same domain) then that would be easy to grant access using Site Permission with Windows Authentication enabled for
both web application. If both web applications are created on different domains then If there is a two-way trust in place, and the SharePoint servers have the necessary port access to the remote domain's Domain Controller, then it is automatic. If it is a
one-way trust, then you need to follow these directions:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263460(v=office.12).aspx
If there is no domain trust in place, then you either need to create one, or look at alternative technologies,
such as ADFS.
