TS2959 Snow Leopard Server "invalid serial number" due to bridged ethernet

Help,,
Snow Leopard server continues to claim "invalid Serial number"
due to bridged ethernet.  (It is valid when I unbridge..invalid when I bridge,)
Apple claimed to fix this bug here
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2959
But has not.
I need bridged ethernet for multiple servers within virtualbox.
Any ideas?

You'll want to figure out why you have both 10.0.2.2 and 192.168.1.113 addresses here for the same host (and particularly where the host doesn't know about the second and separate subnet as "itself"); that's incorrect, and that's the likely trigger.    I'm guessing there's NAT here, and NAT gets ugly in general.
This isn't so much a problem with Apple's serial number licensing, it's with the disparate addressing configuration combined with a NAT "device" that's also passing Ethernet multicasts.   Taken together, you're seeing exactly what is expected with that.  The OS X Server licensing is doing exactly what it should be doing.
What's happening is that the network configuration error here means that OS X Server is detecting itself via a typical Ethernet multicast, and with a different NAT'd address that it doesn't recognize as its own; as being itself, via a NAT.   Other stuff that uses Ethernet multicasts, too, so protocols including Bonjour will likely be cranky within this configuration, too.  DNS, as was mentioned earlier, must also be configured for this; if you have a host with its own self-IP and visibility to a NAT'd IP visible, then DNS will get cranky.  Security, too, will get cranky when DNS is cranky.  And Open Directory, being based on DNS and IP and security, will very likely get confounded, too.
You can either block the Ethernet multicasts from crossing at the NAT device (which is what a NAT firewall does), or can switch to a routed network configuration and get rid of NAT (which is what a router and IP subnet routing does).
And irrespective of the rest of the discussion around licensing and multicasts, having anything in 192.168.1.0/24 is a bit messy, if you're planning on getting VPNs involved.  Using another subnet (in this case) within the 10.0.0.0/8 block would be a better choice, rather than 192.168.0.0/24 or 192.168.1.0/24 subnets.

    Had to have my computer wiped clean due to virus infection. In trying to re-install acrobat 9, i get a message "invalid serial number", even though it is the serial number in my account. What to do?

    there is a lot of info at that link.  by checking that link you'll see that serial number only works for the exact product for which it was purchased.
    ie, if you purchase acrobat 9 std, you need to use acrobat 9 std installation files, not acrobat 9 pro.

  • Invalid Serial number and RAM memory upgrade problem

    1. Please, I am trying to reinstall Snow Leopard, at the end is coming
    "Invalid serial number entered Setup requires a valid serial number. The serial number has the format XSVR-106-x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-x!
    but my serial number is:
    C07XXXXXXXXX!
    What is wrong?
    2. When I try to install 1 DDR Kingston 8GB PC3 10600 CL9 204-PIN SODIMM is coming a clicking sound, What is the problem?
    Thanks.

    All OS X Server 10.6 purchases include a product serial number key, and this serial number key is a required part of the OS X Server installation.   This is a product activation key, and as shown in the display this key begins with XSVR-106 for OS X Server 10.6.  This key was included with the paperwork from the original purchase on a couple of stickers on a card, if this system was acquired with OS X Server 10.6.  If this OS X Server 10.6 media was acquired from elsewhere, then look for a sticker with the media and packaging.  Otherwise, please contact the vendor and ask for the serial number for the media you've acquired.  If you've purchased this Mac Mini with OS X Server 10.6 from Apple directly and no longer have the key, then you'll want to contact Apple Support for assistance.
    As for your second (memory) question, presumably the memory is not compatible with your particular Mac Mini, or there's a problem with the memory itself.  There are usually tech specs available listing the particular requirements for the memory for a particular Mac Mini system.  If you purchased this memory from Kingston specifically for this particular system, contact the Kingston support folks and ask for assistance.
    If you post the specific model of Mac Mini, somebody here can probably locate the memory requirements.

  • Any Invalid Serial Number Installation Issue With PSE 12 - PE 12 Windows or Mac ?

    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5711110#5711110
    Today I went from Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 tryouts to the purchased boxed versions that came with two installation discs. One of the discs was for Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 Windows and the other for these versions on Mac.
    On Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit desktop computer, I was hit with Invalid Serial Number for the installation of Photoshop Elements 12 which I did first. Tried 4X, double and triple checking to make sure this was not "user error". It was not. On the 5th try, the purchased serial number was accepted and the installation went to a successful completion.
    Tonight a friend alerted me to reports of similar happening for a lot of Photoshop Elements 12 Mac users. See the link posted at the top of my post.
    At no time did I see this problem with Premiere Elements 12 installation from the same disc as for Photoshop Elements 12 installation.
    Afterward, I installed these programs with the same installation disc on my laptop computer Windows 8 64 bit, I did not have any problems with either installation.
    At this time, I do not know if this Invalid Serial Number is elusive to Photoshop Elements 12 or not.
    If anyone is experiencing this problem with Premiere Elements, please let us know.
    From the link above, it would appear that Adobe is working on the issue.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply.
    In my case, I had the network firewalls and anti-virus disabled when I did the installs of Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7 64 bit as well as Windows 8 64 bit.
    I was fortunate in that a 5th try of the serial number entry for the Photoshop Elements 12 install on Windows 7 64 bit was successful, so I did not have to do the computer restart and retry of the install with the purchased serial number. But, good to keep in mind, just in case.
    It is ironic...last time around I got caught up in the Shared Technologies issues with Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 8 64 bit, not Windows 7 64 bit. But, in that case, I did find my way eventually to a successful install on Windows 8 64 bit. This time around it was Windows 7 64 bit where the glitch occurred, but, for me, only for Photoshop Elements 12.
    But, could you clarify...are you generalizing that Photoshop Elements 12 Mac Invalid Serial Number is due to server issues and Invalid Serial Number encountered by Photoshop Elements 12 Windows is  "online - due to some firewall or network issues"?
    Just getting prepared for if and when more questions on Invalid Serial Number might pop up in this forum.
    Thanks.

  • Wiped my entire macbook drive and now snow leopard won't install over snow leopard server, HELP!

    I ordered, what I thought, was Snow Leopard a while ago because I was running Leopard and I wanted to get the app store so I could move onto Lion and then Mountain Lion. I ordered the disc over the phone and the woman sent me the Snow Leopard Server instead of just Snow Leopard, I didn't think much about it so I clean installed it and ran it on my unibody macbook for a while. I didn't see much use for the disc anymore seeing that everything was downloadable at this point, so I sold the disc on Ebay and carried on. The server edition started to slow my computer down due to all of its excess applications and what not, and I read online that Lion and Mountain Lion are also very slow on the old unibody Macbooks so I ordered a regular Snow Leopard disc, now available online, and tried to install it. My computer said Snow Leopard cannot be installed over Snow Leopard server so I went to disc utitlity and wiped my entire drive while the OS X Snow Leopard disc was running and trying to install. I went back to the install window and it still said OS X Snow leopard cannot be installed over Snow Leopard Server so I shut down my computer and tried to turn it back on and I all I got was a blinking folder with a question mark in it, what do I do????????
    P.S. All of my content is backed up on an external harddrive so I am all good with that.

    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    7. After formatting has finished quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the Snow Leopard installation.

  • Snow Leopard Server combined with Snow Leopard OS

    I have a MacPro (4x1 TB Drives, 16GB, RAID Card, 2 x Quad-Core Intel Xeon 2.8 GHz) that has MacOS 10.5 installed (including MS Windows running under VMWare Fusion).
    The RAID setup is shown at https://www.radii.org/doc
    The computer is used as an everyday workhorse (running OS 10.5.7 on Volume RS1, with Volume R1V2 partitioned into 2 data and file/document stores).
    Given the specs of the machine, I plan to setup Snow Leopard Server (Raid 0) also — on a separate partition so that when the system on RS1 freezes, the server does not have to be crashed also.
    Is there any advantage in partitioning the volume OSXSERVER to install Snow Leopard Server to perform a number of tasks:
    1. provide first level backup and coordinate backup of data to an external/offsite filestore in the clouds for two Microsoft Small Business servers, plus about 5 Mac and Windows desktop machines
    2. Provide a mail server
    3. iCal server
    4. address book server.
    The above assumes that I can run both OSs simultaneously — is that possible, or does the system for everyday usage need to be virtualised within the Server OS?? If not, which OS will manage access to the processors?

    I guess my biggest concern is the frequency with which Mac OSX gets itself tied in knots and a reboot is the only way out of the mess.
    I haven't seen that myself, personally. About the only time any of my machines get rebooted is after software update.
    Of course, server systems tend to be more focussed than client systems, so that might help too - the server is typically setup, configured and left to do its thing. It's not like you're constantly launching and quitting different applications throughout the day.
    However, I know from years of experience with desktop systems in a variety of flavours that they will need to be rebooted at least once a week.
    Ahh, there's the Windows-thinking coming through.
    I have Mac OS X Server systems that, quite literally, have not been rebooted in years. Most of them have months of uptime. Of course, this means that not all my systems are running the latest OS updates but that's a call I've made.
    in general, the smaller the capacity (memory, speed, HD) the more often they need to be rebooted.
    Sure, but that's a matter of right-sizing your server for the load you're putting on it.
    Again, there's a difference between client and server installations - client systems tend to jump between active processes with minimal background processing, whereas server systems tend to run more focussed tasks.
    I have found that software such as MS Office has been highly unreliable in the last couple of years — I still get Excel saying that it 'had to close' sometime in about 10% of the times I am using it.
    Right, but you're not running Office on your server, right?
    I was hoping there would be a better solution than having to reboot the server — or crash it when the system freezes with a kernal panic brought on by a desktop app
    Sure - don't run a desktop app on your server
    If you do see that need, then run another virtual machine for your desktop apps. That means you've got one 'master' OS running multiple virtual machines - one per server process, plus another one for desktop/GUI apps.
    Or, run all your server processes on a single server with sufficient resource (CPU, disk, memory, etc.) for the tasks you're running, and get an iMac or a Mini for those desktop tasks. Be cheaper that way, anyway.

  • Using ms office 2008 for mac home & student edition with snow leopard serv

    Hi all,
    I have a very particular question.
    I have a new small business starting up and we want to make full use of leopard and snow leopard server in our infrastructure. We also want to use os x for all our client machines.
    We want to use ms office 2008 for mac as our main offfice software but i believe we don't need all the uses or festures of the business edtion and i need to seek good advice and clarity on this.
    We won't ever use any microsoft exchange servers but instead willl use the apple mail servers and all the other apple server services.
    My question is, based on the fact that we will have an all apple mac os x backend and client frontend but want to use the ms office for mac as our business software, and also based on the fact that we wont use the "Build your Brand clip art, Build your skills by lynda.com, the Remote Desktop for mac 2, the Microsoft Exchange Server Support and the Microsoft Windows sharepoint services support, do we really need to go for the business edition? Can we not just use the home and student edition and get the same functionality using everything else apart form what we listed as we wont need these?
    The other question is, the Entourage 2008, Web services Edition, will this work with an apple backend instead of ms exchange server?
    Kind regards and thanks for your wise advice,
    Neil Watson

    Thanks, Kurt--I understand now. 
    One reason I was alarmed was that evidently when the tech installed Office 2008, something went awry with either the key installer or the key code, because when I finished the first two updates (12.1 and 12.2), I tried to open Entourage to see if the problem I'd been having was resolved. Instead of opening, Office gave me a message that my product key was invalid!  I did find the product key, and called the tech, who will come by to see what's wrong (he's an honest guy, so I'm sure it's a legitimate error of some kind, not a pirated copy). But the thought of installing two pages of updates and maybe running into the same glitch every time made me blanch.  So I'm glad to know that Microsoft is still doing Service Packs for 2008!

  • Invalid Serial Number after reboot?

    I just rebooted a server and when it came back ARD was off, along with a bunch of other services that were supposed to start at boot. Under the serial number in Server Admin it had the text (in red): "invalid serial number serial number already registered". I got it to take the serial number by setting it using "/System/Library/ServerSetup/serversetup -setServerSerialNumber <serial>". I want to just reboot again to make sure everything starts up okay, but I want to figure out why this happened first.
    The server is a G5 Xserve that had Panther on it. I upgraded to Tiger last week. While upgrading I got the same message after a reboot but just assumed I had unintentionally reused a serial number. I grabbed a brand new unopened Tiger Server OS box and used that serial, so I know the serial is not in use anywhere on site. Can anyone tell me how the OS checks the serial, and maybe supply me with a clue as to why this happened? The only changes to the server I have made were the installation from source of Apache 2.2.0, PHP 5.1.2, Subversion 1.3.0, and MySQL 5.0.18 from an installer package. All were installed into /usr/local/.
    15" Al PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I'm having the same problem. I did not start with a 10.3 server - this is a fresh install. But I built one server and then cloned the drive to several others and replaced the hostnames, IPs and serials. Now one constantly comes up with an invalid serial number on reboot.

  • Snow Leopard Server and FCServer

    Hi.
    I'm running FCServer on an iMac, and I'm currently looking for the best solution for giving co-workers outside of our office network remote access to our FCS database. The main purpose for this is for remote users to screen and download episode segments and movies from our database.
    I was initially thinking VPN would be the only solution, but then I saw Snow Leopard Server has 'Mobile Access Server' built right into the OS, which appears designed to help users avoid having to use a VPN.
    Before I go out and buy SLS for the company, I want to be sure it will work. Am I correct that Snow Leopard Server, and the built-in Mobile Access Server, will allow users outside of our network remote access to our FCSrvr database?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. And if this question is better suited for a different forum please let me know as well.
    Thank you!

    Hmmm... Thanks for the replies.
    I posted this question in the OS X Server forum and got this response:
    +"I haven't used Final Cut Server, but I'm pretty sure the Mobile Access Server wouldn't work with it. MAS works with plain HTTP, and the Address Book, iCal, and Mail (SMTP and IMAP) services; but FCServer is only partly HTTP-based, and I don't think even the HTTP part will work due to how MAS authenticates HTTP clients. Also, you might be thinking about using MAS as the same computer as FCServer, and it won't work that way -- MAS needs to be on a separate (internet-facing) computer from the actual origin server (which should be firewalled from the internet).+
    +I'd go back to thinking about VPN... "+
    Can anyone offer any more insight into this for me? I'm just an audio/video post-production guy, so this is all a little outside of my training.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • Creating a versatile DNS and redirection service on Snow Leopard Server

    For the few of us who use Snow Leopard Server as a main DNS for our small network, the following is a workflow that I would like to share with the board for creating redirection services to not just sites found on the locally hosted apache but also external sites.
    +IF you are adding a second domain name, the reverse domain lookup will not appear and you will need to add a Machine/A record with the fully qualified domain "domainname.com." (don't forget the . at the end) into the new zone and it will point to the "server" Machine/A record ip address.+
    *DNS Portion* : (ServerAdmin > DNS > Zones >
    Add Zone > Primary > Create a fully Qualified Domain name and dns "server" in the Machine / A Record
    Create the (add Record > Alias/ CNAME) subdomain pointing to the server.domainname.com e.g. (library)
    *Web / Apache Portion :*
    Create a new site (ServerAdmin > Web > Sites > Plus button)
    With General > host name exactly as spelled in above subdomain in full (library.domainname.com)
    Select Web Folder where the site is hosted
    If you are creating a redirection, create a folder on the server, add an index.php (with the script below)
    Add Alias with the same subdomain as number 2
    _PHP script :_
    <?php
    $location = "http://example.net";
    header("Location: ".$location, "301 Moved Permanently");
    ?>
    // Edit the "http://example.net" to which ever e.g. "http://apple.com"
    _Alternatively you can also mask the page with :_
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Same Title As Your Homepage</title><!-->incase they have javascript turned off<!-->
    <script type="text/javascript"><!-->changes title bar to match title on current page in frame<!-->
    function changeTitle()
    if (top.frames['main'].document.title)
    top.document.title=top.frames['main'].document.title;
    </script>
    </head>
    <frameset>
    <frame name="main" src="http://actual-url.anotherhost.com/page.html"scrolling="auto" target="main" ONLOAD="changeTitle();"><!-->You need the onload handler to make the javascript work<!-->
    <noframes>
    <body>
    Place a suitable message here for people with browsers that can't read frames.
    </body>
    </noframes>
    </frameset>
    </html>

    Ok, local DNS services (unicast DNS) are typically straightforward to set up, very useful to have, and can be necessary for various modern network services, so I'm unsure why this is even particularly an open question.  Which leads me to wonder what other factors might be under consideration here; of what I'm missing.
    The Bonjour mDNS stuff is certainly very nice, too.  But not everything around supports Bonjour, unfortunately.
    As for being authoritative, the self-hosted out-of-the-box DNS server is authoritative for its own zone.  That's how DNS works for this stuff.
    And as for querying other DNS servers from that local DNS server (or, if you decide to reconfigure it and deploy and start using DNS services on your LAN), then that's how DNS servers work.
    And yes, the caching of DNS responses both within the DNS clients and within the local DNS server is typical.  This also means that there is need no references to ISP or other DNS servers on your LAN for frequent translations; no other caching servers and no other forwarding servers are required.

  • Migration from Windows Small Business Server 2003 to Snow Leopard Server

    Hello,
    I'm going to migrate a Windows Small Business Server 2003 Standard to a Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server 10.6.x in a few weeks.
    I have 2 questions :
    Is there an official process to migrate my Exchange server datas ?
    Snow Leopard Server has it Wizards to help me to muigrate datas to proper services ?
    Thanx
    Regards,
    Gil DERENNE aka --( dB )--

    Thank you for your reply
    My network will be Apple only in a few time (1 server, 1 iMac and 1 Mac Pro).
    Now, I want to replace server and all services installed on it :
    - Active Directory (replaced by Open Directory)
    - Users/Groups/machines
    - NAT/Firewall and Backup (will be replaced by a Time Capsule)
    - VPN for mobile access
    - File and Printer sharing
    - Fax Services with Fax/Modem 56K !oops! (replaced by a free service offer by my ISP)
    - Mail/Calendar/Address book and notes with Exchange (replaced by each service to serv right thing : Mail, iCal, Address book...).
    I know what to do with all things but not for replacing Exchange and transfer datas to each similar service in Snow Leopard.
    In the network, Mail Server will be used by Outlook with IMAP protocol and other services by web interface (Windows computers are not a problem for me, it can be alone and only access web if necessary).
    The number of clients inside the LAN :
    - 2 iPhones
    - 1 iPod Touch
    - 1 PC Windows Vista (for a few time) with some VM (Linux and Windows)
    - 1 iMac 27' with 1 VM (Windows)
