TFS Licensing issue - referred to by MSDN - where should I turn to?

We have a single box housing TFS 2010/SharePoint 2010 Foundation, Sql 2008 server that our developers rely on for source code control and associated Portal pages. Works fine. Now someone asks if we can setup a small company-wide "Intranet" on this
box. From a licensing perspective I would say no. Do you agree? (Our non-dev users don't have TFS CALS so I don't see how they are licensed to use this MSDN software. MSDN has made an expection for the TFS developer but I don't think it applies
to everyone in the company)
TIA,
edm2

Hi Edm2,
Thanks for your post.
If the developers want develop code in TFS Source Control, they need the licenses. If one user has not CAL, he can access Team Web Access in
Work Item Only View, but not support TFS Source Control.
For the license issue, you can call 1-800-426-9400, Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) to speak directly to a Microsoft licensing specialist, and you can get more detail information from there. Worldwide customers can use the Guide
to Worldwide Microsoft Licensing Sites to find contact information in their locations:

CF Licensing Issue - Logs say Developer Edition, but should be Standard

Hi there,
We have an installation of Cold Fusion 7.02 on CentOS 5.
When we applied the Standard License key, the CF admin page
shows that it's running the Standard Edition, but the logs show
that it has reverted to the Developer Edition. This is the log
entry:
warning Invalid license; reverting to Developer Version
We recycled this License key from a Windows installation of
ColdFusion. We've uninstalled CF from that machine.
Any ideas on what might be the problem?
Thanks!

This is a support issue. Call Adobe for help.

Where should I turn off a BusyIndicator in a custom control?

There is a Popup in the AutoCompleteBox. I want to make a busyindicator while the popup is being populated from the filtered ItemsSource items.
I've managed to alter the template. And in the code, I locate the BusyIndicator and turn it on when the list starts to be filtered.
But if I make the BusyIndicator not busy again, it never shows up. Because there was never an opportunity to draw it. It needs some time on the UI thread to have it update.
Anybody have a suggestion as to what method or event listener to hook into to set the busy at the beginning of the operation and unset it at the end?

If you're adding these things on the UI thread then isn't it going to be busy until you stop?
I know Silverlight doesn't have the fancy wait until idle setting you get in wpf but...
You might find if you do a begininvoke from your OnPopulating
YourControl.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke ...
It's queued until everything is done.
If you're lucky.
Failing that, consider just "cheating".
Work out roughly how long your populating is likely to take.
New up a storyboard for that timespan + 1 second or whatever.
Subscribe to the completed event and dispatcher.begininvoke in there.
Your UI will be busy by the time it fires and it'll probably queue OK but even if it doesn't then it'll be about right anyhow.
Storyboard sb = new Storyboard(); sb.Duration = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 1);
sb.Completed += new EventHandler(delegate(object s, EventArgs a)
// Dispatcher.Begininvoke....
sb.Begin();
Hope that helps.

Having deactivation / licensing issues

I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME OUT OF THIS HOLE I'M IN!
I recently bought a new Mac and used migration assistant to transfer everything. I am having trouble deactivating Flash Pro on my old Mac so that I can activate it on my new Mac - it keeps saying I have connection issues, even when I use Adobe's several methods to verify that I can connect to their https and activation sites.
Tghe last step in troubleshoot this was to chart with an Adobe agent - see what transpired during my chat session below below - what started out as a request for connect assistance turned into a licensing issue! (I redacted the tech's name, the serial number and other personal info - if there is someone out there at Adobe that can helop me and needs this info, I will share it with them under separate cover)
XXX: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
JD: thanks
XXX: You are welcome.
XXX: May I please have your email address registered with Adobe?
JD: XXX.net
XXX: Thank you.
XXX: I understand that you are not able to deactivate the product.
XXX: I will be glad to check and help you in this regard.
JD: Yes. I am trying to do this on my old Mac so that I may activate it on my new Mac.
XXX: May I have the serial number of the product you are referring to?
JD: XXX
XXX: Thank you.
XXX: I require 2 to 3 minutes while I check on this activation error, is it okay if I put you on hold?
JD: yes
XXX: I see that the serial number you have provided is registered under different account.
XXX: Can you please verify the email address?
JD: I recently changed my email address to XXX but I don't think I changed this on my Adobe account yet.
XXX: Sorry, The product is registered under different account.
XXX: May I know where did you purchase the product?
JD: I purchased it used on Ebay and had the license transferred to me in 2009. I've been using it ever since on my old Mac. When I log into my Adobe acct using XXX this product shows as mine.
XXX: In this case I request you to contact the point of purchase.
JD: I'm not sure why there is an issue - I successfully registered this software 5 years ago on your site and have been using it ever since. I shows up as mine on YOUR site!
XXX: I see that the product is not existing in different account.
XXX: Sorry for typo.
XXX: I see that the product is existing in different account
XXX: Ebay is not the authorized reseller of Adobe. In this I request you to contact the point of purchase.
JD: Then it appears that you need to remove it from the other one so that it is only showing in mine. I own this software - it is in my hands! It is showing as registered under my name in my adobe account.
JD: I bought it from a private individual and used Adobe' transfer of Adobe License form to put it under my name in 2009. I need you to elevate this to your supervisor. Like I said, I've had this software registered under MY ACCOUNT for 5 years!
XXX: I see that the product is not registered in your account.
XXX: Please login to your Adobe account and check it.
XXX: The serial number you have provided is not registered in your account.
JD: I'm in there now - logged in as Jerome DellaPietra via XXX. I own XXX, XXX, Flash Pro 9, XXX, XXX, XXX, and XXX. I'm looking at all of these in the "My Products" page
XXX: Okay.
JD: Both the numbers on my software and what shows in My Products page match exactly!
XXX: Please see if the serial number you provided is existing in under your account.
JD: YES
XXX: I am sorry. I see that the serial number is not registered in different account.
XXX: I double checked and see that the serial number is registered under different account.
JD: Then remove it. I own this software. It is mine. I successfully registered it with Adobe 5 years ago. It is showing as one of my products
XXX: Since you bought the product from the non authorized reseller we will not be able to see it in your account.
XXX: You can remove it from your end.
XXX: Is there anything else I can help you with?
I gave up with him after that. I need someone at Adobe that can fix this for me. I own this software. It is in my hands! It shows up as mine on my "My Products" page! I still have the original transfer of license form showing the original owner! HELP!

Hi, jwilder. Let's try to resove that. To verify, is it happening even if the battery saver is turn off? Did you check if all system apps are updated? To do this, scan the QR codes from here: Nokia Windows Phone 8 App Updates. You may also try deleting the non-functioning Wi-Fi network from the Settings > WiFi > manage(advanced) > Known networks, tap and hold on the network name and select Delete. From the Known network, make sure that the selected one is set to connect automatically.
Keep us posted.

Adobe acrobat 9 pro installation/licensing issues

I installed my licensed copy of Acrobat 9 on a new Windows 7 system. Acrobat launched but would not open files and shuts down on attempt. Message is "Licensing for this product has stopped working" with subtext "You cannot use the product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help."
I doubt any of you have a solution, so I simply remark on what transpired as a warning and complaint:
1. I went to Adobe databse and found that a patch was provided to correct installations/licensing problems on windows 7. I downloaded it and installed per instructions. It did not resolve the problem.
2. I uninstalled/reinstalled several times. no resolution.
3. I called customer support and was outsourced to someone who knew little and first sent me to a kb article having to do with 'expired licensing' even though I clearly informed them that the message and the fact had nothing to do with expired licenses. They finally referred me to kb405970 on "Licensing has stopped working". I tried all of the applicable solutions (methods 1-6) and none of them worked. Now I will have to wait until tomorrow (though I had pressing work to do today) to contact support again. I fear I will get another outsourced tech who knows little and wastes more of my time. Such is Adobe's way of supporting paid and licensed product users.
I understand and sympathize with Adobe's wishes to protect its products from piracy. However, I expect and paid for a product which works on major and supported operating systems like windows 7. I also understand that if MS or Mac put out a new OS or version, it may require certain adjustments or updates on Adobe's part. What I do not understand (or have patience with) is that 1) Adobe failed to provide a patch that works; 2) that it then sends me to an outsourced customer service tech who didn't have the knowledge to correct the problem and gave me the wrong information to begin with*. What I finally got was the kb article with a series of multi-step instructions for several methods, none of which worked. This is an unprofessional and unethical response to those of us who have paid for our product and expect it to work under reasonable conditions in a supported environment. This is not an acceptable good-faith effort to resolve issues for which Adobe should take full responsibility.
If any of you do happen to have a real solution (or had a similar problem) do let me know....
*The first thing the outsourced tech wished to do was get onto my machine via a remote connection, before anything was tried other than giving them the error message and have them provide me with the wrong information. It became clear that this person had less knowledge than I do (which isn't saying much) and there was no way I was going to permit a clueless techie to crawl around in my machine and fiddle with settings. That is simply asking for trouble. I'm perfectly capable of opening panels and following instructions myself. DC should be the last thing tried; not the first.

Bill, I tried as you suggested - installed every update from 9.1 through 9.3.4. The 'license not working message persists'. The only change was that now Acrobat will not close and must be forced to shut down from the taskbar menu. I appreciate the suggestion though.
Called Adobe (Manila) again, within the hours given on their contact page for installation and licensing issues, and was told "It's Sunday, nobody here can help you". Finally, after an hour of hammering got them to get me a supervisor (their script says to tell the customer there "Is no supervisor available on Sunday" - Finally the "supervisor", Alvin, suggested I need a new serial number and left me on the line while he called someone else to get on. Cameback and informed me that he couldn't get one, I'd have to call Monday (how's that for having solutions?) Result: wasted more time and had more delay on my project.
Conclusion: Adobe has become obsessed and 'piranoic' about piracy and licensing to the extent that they put that first and client/customer needs second (if that). After reading a lot of online 'Adobe Sucks' forums, I'm inclined to believe Adobe is shooting itself in its own foot and is not going to be a reliable method of presentation/document transmission in the future - service and support is an integral part of software and other concerns such as piracy or licensing need to be transparent to legitimate users. Sad that they spend so much time on this, when they need to be fixing real problems. As well, these outsourcing Philipines companies are poor substitutes for good support - they are so scripted and obsessed with regulations over solutions that it is clear that only the most persistent users will get anywhere with them. As a frontline of contact with after-sale clients, they are going to cost Adobe a lot of potential business in the future, whatever their short-term savings. Too bad. Adobe used to be a leader in the market.
Next round: Calling Manila again this am. to be continued...

ORA-20001: The printing engine..Is this related to a BIP licensing issue?

Hello all,
The error "ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL..." happens in 2 cases:
<pre>
1. When our BIP is down or being bumped
2. As an APEX administrator, in workspace environment settings, the print server is set to OFF.
</pre>
I'm thinking that this is a licensing issue but I need some clarification on what is causing the error, because all we are trying to do is bring up a PDF report that a user can open or save. BIP is not involved at this point. Is it because the report was developed using BIP that APEX needs BIP up? How does APEX even know the report was developed using BIP? Were are using APEX 3.2.1.00.12 and BIP 10.1.3.4.1
The error happens when a user clicks on a PDF icon that calls an "After Submit Process". The following is the code and the report that was created in BIP is loaded into APEX with a "Named Columns (RTF)" layout type.

7. Enabling Network Services in Oracle Database 11g
By default, the ability to interact with network services is disabled in Oracle Database 11g release 1 (11.1). Therefore, if running Oracle Application Express with Oracle Database 11g release 1 (11.1), use the new DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN package to grant connect privileges to any host for the FLOWS_030100 database user. Failing to grant these privileges results in issues with PDF/report printing, specifically, you will get the following error message:

Oracle 10g se license requirement while using a power 6 P520 machine with 2-core 4.2 GHz processor card,4 memory DIMM slots. Are we entitled for paying for one oracle 10g SE license?
many thanks in advance

When you read through that thread, did you see where I linked to and quoted the licensing definitions
Processor: shall be defined as all processors where the Oracle programs are installed and/or running. Programs licensed on a processor basis may be accessed by your internal users (including agents and contractors) and by your third party users. For the purpose of counting the number of processors which require licensing for a Sun UltraSPARC T1 processor with 4, 6 or 8 cores at 1.0 gigahertz or 8 cores at 1.2 gigahertz for only those servers specified on the Sun Server Table which can be accessed at http://oracle.com/contracts , “n” cores shall be determined by multiplying the total number of cores by a factor of .25. For the purposes of counting the number of processors which require licensing for AMD and Intel multicore chips, “n” cores shall be determined by multiplying the total number of cores by a factor of .50. For the purposes of counting the number of processors which require licensing for all hardware platforms not otherwise specified in this section, a multicore chip with "n" cores shall be determined by multiplying "n" cores by a factor of .75. All cores on all multicore chips for each licensed program for each factor listed below are to be aggregated before multiplying by the appropriate factor and all fractions of a number are to be rounded up to the next whole number. When licensing Oracle programs with Standard Edition One or Standard Edition in the product name, a processor is counted equivalent to a socket.
It appears that you fall under the "not otherwise specified" category because you're not dealing with an UltraSPARC T1 (multiplier 0.25) or an AMD/ Intel chip (multiplier 0.5) so your multiplier would be 0.75.
0.75 * 2 cores = 1.5 processors which would have to be rounded up to 2 processors. If you had 4 total cores, you would only need a 3 processor license.

9.3.0.1 Permanent Licensing Issue

I am trying to use an old VMware image that contains Planning 9.3.0.1, but I am having licensing issues.
Steps taken already
1) I went to http://licensecodes.oracle.com/downloads/HS9_MasterLicenseFile.zip and download the new license file.
2) Then went to the license manager (LMtools.exe) and was successful starting and stopping the license server and re-reading the license.
3) Then went to the Configuration Utility and Activated the Product to change the Deployment ID to "Temp-0004" within System 9 BI+, Analytical Services, Financial Management and Planning.
Where I see the errors
1) In my debugging of the issue, I tried starting the Hyperion Planning via command line. Planning starts up fine but no longer accepts the requests.
Error Text: "CLS0000017 No unexpired licenses are available for your product. No further requests to the server will be processed."
2) Also within workspace when I go from Navigate -> Application -> Planning -> PlanApp1 I receive the follow error when I try to login.
Error Text: "A problem with Hyperion System 9 Planning license was encountered. Please see the log for details."
Any suggestions?

I'm attaching the instructions I put together about a year ago -- your mileage may vary:
Instructions to update the 9.3 Demo Drives to new license files.
copy HS9_MasterLicenseFile.lic C:\HYSL\common\LicenseServer\Licenses

Licensing issue by using Applications AC and PC

Hi,
The SAP GRC 10.0 solution comes as bundled solution for AC, PC and RM. While downloading the SAP GRC 10.0 all the three components are downloaded but in a dormant state.
With the release of GRC 10.0, Access Control and Process Control are offered as an integrated solution, both at the data layer and at the user interface layer. This new unified platform enables increased harmonization of key master data.
GRC 10.0 is a harmonized platform. Although maintenance of data within AC and PC is similar in 10.0 as it was in previous releases, there are some key differences. The following master data is shared between AC and PC for the release 10.0 integration scenario.
u2022 Organizations
u2022 Business Processes
u2022 Business Subprocesses
u2022 Controls
SAP GRC System Add-ons:
Access Control, Process Control and Risk Management are contained in one ABAP add-on u201CGRCFND_Au201D
SAP Backend System Plug-ins:
A. GRCPINW: NW Function Modules hold the AC functions for ERP systems without HR (former non-HR RTA)
B. GRCPIERP: PC relevant features are contained in the plug-in GRCPIERP, for example, for running automated controls and the HR relevant functions for AC (former HR RTA)
There are multiple activation points for AC, PC and RM:
u2022 SAP GRC SPRO -> activate the Application. However
u2022 When we go for the Plug-ins (GRCPIERP) installation in backend systems with HR function module it also brings in the PC relevant features.
u2022 Mitigating Control definition based on Organizations
I had activated the Application AC and PC for some time assuming that PC is required to create the Mitigation Control and Organizations. However I just realized that Mitigating Control and Organization can be created even without Activating PC, which does nothing but removes the additional features of PC.
My Query:
u2022 Kindly let me know if I can still use PC to create and assign Mitigating Control as a shared resource for AC and PC or I have violated Licensing issue by using Applications AC and PC when I am supposed to use just Access Control.
u2022 How is shared resources in SAP GRC 10 dealt in terms of Licensing of Applications in SAP GRC 10.
Thanking you in advance.

all the new pc's we've purchased for a time now, don't have a Win7 CoA product key attached, even though they come with Win7 downgrade rights, so your strategy to use the CoA pkeys for the Win7 install on the new machines might be flawed.
We don't buy HP, and I'm in Australia, so I'm not sure if this will be the same for you.
Also, the OEM image that you would use to re-deploy/re-image with, may need to be different for varying models (OEMs might include different drivers, or other checks or blockers, in their image and OOBE scripts), and, the embedded OEM "master" product key/certificate
could vary (or not align) across model types/generations.
Ours do have the SLIC table in firmware and the OA markers, and we use VL Win7 Enterprise anyway, so our 40,000 machine fleet means VL and Software Assurance as a part of our EA + Select is an (expensive) no-brainer really.
The other thought I have for you, is the re-imaging rights that are bestowed when you have a VL agreement (and therefore, are not bestowed if you don't have one). Because we do have a VL agreement, I've never dived into how it might be worked if we didn't
have VL.
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/briefs/reimaging.aspx
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/briefs/downgrade-rights.aspx
If you do look at a VL agreement, I'm told they start from as few as 5 machines. And, if you purchase new pc's, you have the option to enrol the new pc's into Software
Assurance within 90days of purchase, which I imagine would save you some cost, compared to attaching SA to them at a later time, presumably requiring you to pay full ticket price for that.
I'd recommend you get some advice from an MS reseller, even if only to work out what the various options/costs might be.

Lightroom 4 from US, is there a license issue?

I recently received a box unit of Lightroom 4 from US, is there a license issue if I install it in Singapore as I recide in Singapore. Are there any restrictions?

A LR licience allows install on 2 systems as long as the software is only used one at a time.
Adobe has NO restrictions on where the systems are upon which it's software is installed.

ESB- Licensing issues and etc

Hi All,
I was wondering if i could have a few of my doubts cleared
1. According to my understanding since EDI requires licensing and certification, If i use ESB and make it transform the document to some other format. Then if i can post the same document through some 3rd party software whose only function is to post to a particular OXTA or HTTP URL for example.
Will there be any legal issues here ?
2. Where can i find a list of possible transformation which ESB supports. (cXML,OAG,EDI,Rossatenet, UBL etc)
3. Is there any possible comparision between ESB and B2B in terms of transformations and handling/processing documents?
Cheers
Ravi

ESB delivered with basic adapters, DB, AQ, JMS etc.
If you want to use for Rosettanet,EDI etc you need to buy the relevant adapters.
But ESB should not be used for this purpose as it does not have the relevant security and partner link definition stuff that B2B has, this is why they are two different products.
The adapters are just connection technology.

Error: 6 // Licensing Issue?

My computer crashed and I got it repaired. I am using a 2009 Macbook Pro 15 inch. After getting my computer fixed I went to open photoshop and I am getting the (Error : 6) Message. It says my licensing has stopped working. Anyone know how to help with this?

Hi, the only people who can really help you with licensing issues like that is Adobe Customer Service - they can reset your activations to zero so you can reactivate the software where ever you need to...
Once that's done, you won't need to reinstall the software where it's already installed - just re-enter your serial number.
Hope this helps.

Organization licenses issue

I'd like to install Visual Studio 2013 Express editon on my work computer, which belongs to my company, in my Beijing office.
I noticed item 1.b in MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS which said I couldn't use it unless so called "person classroom training and education, or for performing academic research", because
I think my company is probably an enterprise which has 250+ PCs and more than one million annual revenues.
I just want to use it for my personal intention, like testing a samll C++ program which has nothing to do with my company's product, building a platform env for other script programs, writing code for studying, or something else similar.
Is there anybody knows if I could do it this way and if it is legal?
Thanks a lot.

Hi VisualSystem,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Actually we didn't support the license issue in our forum, to help you resolve this issue and make it clear for you, you could use the following way:
For a license issue, you can call 1-800-426-9400, Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) to speak directly to a Microsoft licensing specialist, and you can get more detail information from there. You can also visit the following

Licensing issue...anyone else?

Run into a licensing issue with CS6
(My provider and I are both trying to work through it but asking if anyone else has had any similar issue.)
Downloaded and installed the Trial Version as soon as it was released.
Ordered and paid for Full version thru my Adobe Provider ( as per previous versions)
Received a Software License Certificate with Win Serial and Mac Serial.
From the Trial splash screen I worked throught the process and entered the Win serial.
Error : Not a Valid Serial. Tried many times same result.
Went to the Menu item 'Complete Profile ID'.
This also failed to register the software to me. Error : Not a Valid Serial.
Went to MY ADOBE and tried to Register a new product with the serial.
Error: This is a volume license and it would not register CS6 to me!
At this point in time...I do not get the TRIAL VERSION splash screen so assume I am not in trial mode. Should the opening usual Splash or Help screen indicate I am registered inside the application and not in Trial Mode?
Issue maybe is: the software is not registered to me and that will have ramifications later ...I am sure.
If I deactivate and reinstall..I am sure that will have ramifications because I am not officially registered to the software at Adobe!
I have been unable to find an understandeable solution via the Adobe Support Files.
Kind of limbo land here!
I am guessing the Adobe Installer Manager is messing with me.

I hope you have much better luck than I did with my Premiere Pro and Photoshop CS6 installs. The issues you're reporting sound somewhat familiar, but not exactly; and for what it's worth: I'm on a Mac. I spent a number of days trying to work through the installation and ultimately fixed it all with a complete reinstall. Of the OS.
Adobe provides a cleaner tool for the Mac that I assume is similar to what's available for Windows. The problem is: it only cleans up the previous version of Premiere (and Photoshop, if need be). What it doesn't do is clean up all the other crud that Adobe's software spreads throughout the OS. And I'm not just refering to Premiere; one of the real troublemakers in the entire installation process was the Adobe Application Manager. No matter how many times I tried cleaning that up and re-installing it, it just wouldn't work right. Which meant that Premiere and PShop had trouble with their licensing (sound familiar?)
For what it's worth, Adobe's tech support folks are, in fact, Indian. But their English is superb and they have very little in the way of an accent. Don't be too worried about understanding them if you do call; they may not be able to help you figure out what's going on (they couldn't, for me), but you won't have a communcation issue.
I'm up and running. The OS re-install did it because I formatted the drive beforehand, removing all of the digital flotsam that Adobe's previous versions of software spewed throughout the filesystem. It was a sucky solution, but it worked.

TFS Licensing issue - referred to by MSDN - where should I turn to?
