Single User License Questions

Hello,
Firstly, since there is no general forum for iWork as a whole (rather than its individual packages), I have posted it here.
Anyway, back on track.
I am a British MSc student wanting to purchase iWork Single-User at the discounted education price - as MS office for Mac has no UK education discount and seems to crash an awful lot, and Open/Neo Office is, in my opinion, the worlds most counter productive and clumsy software package out there (I hate it!), I have opted for iWork. After trying the demo I really like it! Very slick.
However, I have noticed that there are two packs available for iWork. Single-User and Family Pack, and have become a little confused about how the licensing for iWork pans out.
I want to install iWork on both my 27" iMac "Ratchet" and on my 13" Alu' Notebook "Clank" (yes those are the actual computer names in System Preferences), so I can work on a document with Clank when out and about, upload it to my iDisk, then work on it again with Ratchet when I get home. I am the only user of these two machines, not even a guest account. Will the Single-User license of iWork install and run without running into problems? Or does single user mean one Mac and one Mac only? If its the latter then it looks like I'll have to make do with OpenOffice until I can afford MS Office 2008/11 and just hope it doesn't crash when I click "save" (which did happen very frequently with MSO2008)
Thanks in advance!

Well that just burst my bubble quite dramatically.
In the education store its £35 for the single user which is a hefty 1/2 price discount, but its still £87 for the family pack, no discount to speak of. £87 is only £12 short of Office 2008, so it looks like I'm waiting until next payday before I can afford it, or I dust off the credit card."
Thanks for the quick answer

It seems silly having two single user disks and for a little extra I get 5 installs and one less disk.
How is me saying I'll wait until next pay day or making a personal observation considered a rant? I'm puzzled how you came to that conclusion
yes I was snippy in reply to Allan Eckert's suggestion of OpenOffice and I apologise, but a rant? Come on mate, how is any of what I said a rant?

Where can I download Acrobat Extended version 9 for use with a single user license?

Hello,
I am helping a client who has previously purchases a single user license of Acrobat Extended version 9. It shows up under 'My Products' for his Adobe ID account and provides the serial. However, no version of Acrobat I have been able to find on the Adobe.com website or from people asking the same question on these forums will accept his Serial #.
Has adobe made these single user serial #'s invalid due to their change in licensing format, or I am just now finding the correct version to go with this serial? Please assist, I would hate to have to tell this client they have to re-pay for a product they already have purchased simply because you have changed your licensing format.
Thanks,
JC

JC you will want to utilize the installation media you received at the time of purchase. If you choose the download option at the time purchase then the download would be available under your account at http://www.adobe.com/. You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

Can I upgrade my single user license to a family pack?

I recenlty purchased a Single User License for tiger, and am now wanting to buy a used computer that has been completely wiped, so it has no operating system or anything. Can I upgrade from the single user so I am not breaking the law, but not pay $200?

Single User License

Does anyone know if Apple allows a copy of iWork to be installed on a single user's desktop and laptop (when not used at the same time...like Adobe) or is the Family Pack what is needed to be able to install it on more than one machine?

From the license agreement:
"*iWork Single User License*. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software (whether trial or full version) on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time, and you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple computers at the same time. You may make one copy of the Apple Software in machine-readable form for backup purposes only; provided that the backup copy must include all copyright or other proprietary notices contained on the original. "
In other words, you're only allowed to have the software on one computer at a time.

FrameMaker server vs single user licensing requirements for WebWorks Automap?

Hi guys,
Does anyone happen to know if a FrameMaker server license is required to support a WebWorks Automap HTML generation process? Or is a single-user license acceptable (so long as only one user is accessing the machine). My understanding is that WebWorks simply opens and closes FrameMaker files and does not use any FrameMaker functions to produce its content. I've checked with WebWorks on this, but ultimately it's any potential Adobe licensing restriction that I'm concerned with.
We're currently using unstructured Frame, so much of our content could only be generated by having FrameMaker and WebWorks installed on the same workstation or VM.
Thanks in advance.

If you're actually running FM on a Windows server platform, then there's a high probability that the EULA demands you use the FrameMaker Publishing Server (FPS) instead. However, if you're just accessing existing FM files and not triggering FM via Webworks to do anything, then I don't see how a FPS license would be required.
There's a bit of info on the differences in the licenses at: FAQ | FrameMaker Publishing Server 12
However, I can't seem to find any more recent versions of the EULAs than the FM11 and FPS10 ones listed here: Licenses and terms of use | Adobe

Does the single user license Leopard allow installation on two Macs?

Does the single user license Leopard OS 10.5 allow installation on two Macs - say my G5 desktop I use at home and the Macbook Pro I take on the road?

Thanks everyone. I don't intend to risk at that… seriously, the problem is many software licenses allow for installation on two computers (one "at home" and the other "at work", for instance) - at least all my recent purchases, mostly music production software such as Finale, Logic, Line 6 stuff and Live. That's why I thought Apple might have been a little more generous at that…
I appreciated everyone's help at clarifying that.

Single user license of Snow Leopard on 2 machines then a family user straight to Lion?

I bought a single user license of Snow Leopard and installed it onto an external harddrive so I could boot my machine and check my applications such as Vectorworks 12.5 still work with the new OS.
Now I've done that on both Macs I have at home (MacBookPro 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo and MacMini 1.83 Intel Core Duo), and now installed Snow Leopard properly on the MacMini (i.e. not booting off the external hard disk).
What I am wondering is that rather than purchase a 2nd user license of Snow leopard, if I was going to upgrade straight to Lion anyway, could I install my single license Snow Leopard on each machine, then upgrade both to Lion on a proper family user license given I'm not actually going to be using Snow Leopard if I upgrade to Lion?
thanks.

Yes the licence for SL states it can be installed and used on one machine. So if you remove it from the MBP (which you will if you run Lion on it) then there is no reason you can't use it on the Mac Mini.
And just for clarification there is no more Singel User or Family Pack or Family License for Lion. The license allows you to install and run it on as many systems as you own or control. So should you get a Lion compatible system in the future you can use the copy of Lion you now have on it also.

Commercial use of a single-user license

Hi,
I have two question for Adobe CC single-person license
1) Does the license allow commercial usage, i.e. selling my artwork, photos, etc?
2) Can i install the software on my 2 computers under this license? (i would be still the only one using it)

Hi Janadik,
The license allows you to sell your artwork, photos which are your own creation.
You can also install and activate the software on 2 computers. However you should not use the products on both the machines simultaneously.
Regards,
Anand

5 user license question

I know the $499 price tag for Snow Leopard Server includes a 10-user license. However, does this include a license to install and use Snow Leopard on each of those 10 machines? Or is it just a license for the OS on those machines to connect to Snow Leopard Server?
Dan

Thanks for clarifying; my question is answered, and I appreciate your input.
On a separate note -- unrelated to my decision making about Snow Leopard Server......
$29? Are you kidding me?
I paid that to take my Leopard-based MBP to Snow Leopard, but I always assumed it was an upgrade price...is that the price for a full license?!
At home, my wife is using an iMac G5 with a PowerPC chip running Tiger (10.3.x), which means it can't run Snow Leopard. It can run Leopard, but Apple is telling me I have to pay $129 to buy Leopard for her machine.
Are you telling me that it's cheaper to buy a full license for Snow Leopard on an Intel machine than it is to buy the now older/previous version (Leopard) for a Mac?!
I know her machine is officially obsolete now that the OS no longer supports non-Intel chips. But to cost almost 4.5 times the current list price to buy the immediately prior version that does run on the PPC?

Single User Mode Question

I use single user mode to do fsck because doing it on a live disk takes way too long. I was wondering if there is a way to repair permissions from single user mode. Thanks

1. what does AFAIK mean?
As Far As I Know
2. What I have gathered is that it is near next to y difficult to repair permission fro the CLI and single user mode.
Correct. You can't use diskutil because the disk framework isn't loaded. You can do it if you're booted from an install DVD, though.

Premiere Pro CC single app license question

Are Adobe Bridge CC and Adobe Encore CC programs included with Premiere Pro CC single app. license?

MikeG624 Previously Brdge CS6 was a part of several other applications like Photoshop CS6, After Effects CS6, etc. However, now its a seperate application
If you purchase a single app subscription, you will only get that application. However, you will still be able to download Bridge CC from the Cloud website as its a free app.

Oracle database Named User License Question

Oracle database Standard Edition ONE licensing has this requirement:
Maximum of 2 socket server
Minimum of 5 user licenses.
How are these 5 named user licenses calculated ?
1) Does it depend on how many computers are connecting to the database ?
2) Can we have application installed on 7 computers, but concurrently only 5 client computers will be connected to the database ?
3) Are these named user plus licenses floating ?

Leopard: Single, Family License Questions

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I've searched and searched but never found straight up, legally honest answers to these questions.
1. I bought a single license Leopard install dvd. Is this ultimately just ONE machine, or is it like Adobe CS3 where they allow a desktop/workstation' install & a mobile/laptop install on the one license?
2. If I need to, can I upgrade from single license to family pack? If so please explain how, I can't seem to find any info. Thanks!!

1. Single computer only.
2. I don't know either, call the apple store.

User license questions - old user is leaving

Hi
Because all user application licenses (CRM sales, CRM service, and Professional) are assigned to named users how do we deal with the situation when a member of staff leaves the company and we wish to re-assign that license which is now no longer used to a new user? Can I do this from within SAP or do I need to email SAP regarding the name change?
I have done a search on this site and the internet but cannot find any information regarding this.
Thank you for any help.

Here is the Content of that SAP Note.951816
Symptom
When trying to allocate licenses to users, the number of licenses available is less than the (number of total - number of licenses already assigned).
(Menu Path: Administration -> License -> License Administration)
Other terms
license allocation, licenses available, license administration, SAP Business One, missing, less.
Reason and Prerequisites
Consulting
Solution
A user with a license allocated to her/him has been deleted from the system without deallocating the license first, or a company with users assigned has been deleted without deallocating the licenses first.
Each time a license is allocated/deallocated an entry is generated in an xml file "B1Upf.xml"
(Path: C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One ServerTools\License\ B1Upf.xml).
If a user/database is deleted without previous deallocation of a license that entry is not removed from the file thus taking up a license space.
To resolve the issue follow these steps:
1. Close all SAP Business One clients.
2. Make a copy of the file (C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One ServerTools\License\B1Upf.xml) and save it with a different name or in a different folder.
3. Delete the original file.
4. Stop/Start the license server.
5. Connect to SAP Business One and assign the licenses (Administration -> License -> License Administration). You will need to reassign licenses for all your users.

Concurrent user license question

I currently have the 10-client license for OS X Server 10.4.7
I have 3 users in the office and another 9 sales reps not in this office who only need occasional FTP access.
Does a user connected via FTP count as 1 of the client licenses? In other words, if the 3 of us in the office are connected via AFP to a share, does that mean we can have at most 7 FTP users at one time? There's a screen on the FTP service that says 'Allow a maximum of [50] concurrent users' by default... but I don't want to assume.
Quad G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The 10-client limitation is for concurrent file-sharing users. It doesn't apply to web, ftp or other services. The screen you reference is for your own use in allocating server and bandwidth resources.
