Type licenses question..

Are the typefaces included on Mac OS free for use ? I suppose licenses are included when you buy your laptop but i'm not sure ..

You'll note that the license for the font expressly permits embedding.
Actually, that's not correct. The "embeddable" in the font info is a technical, not legal point.
When a designer creates a font, eg, with a tool such as Fontographer, he can set a font property which allows -- or disallows -- embedding. Font Book reads that property and tells you that, in this instance, it is set to allow it. IOW, it's technically possible to embed this font -- whether it's legal to do so or not is another matter.
The use of fonts supplied by Apple are governed by the licence granted to the user by Apple (as outlined in the doc referred to above) and by any additonal restrictions set in the copyright or trademark notice by the original foundry. In this instance, no such restrictions are set, so Apple's rules obtain.
As to books and Gill Sans, sophie68, there are some further wrinkles.
(1) If you're an author and you're using a publisher, then worry about contents, not about fonts -- that's the job of the publisher and the typographer hired for the job.
(2) If you want to self-publish, first, do yourself a favour and read one or two books on self-publishing. Then do yourself another favour, and read one or two books about DTP and typography ("The Mac Is Not a Typewriter", by Robin Williams, and "The Elements of Typographic Style", by Bob Bringhurst spring immediately to mind). The art of typesetting is like making clear glass or like writing concisely -- a lot more difficult than it sounds.
(3) If you plan to use a printing bureau, first consult them about fonts and formats. Gill Sans is one of the Apple-supplied fonts which professionals and printing bureaus like to replace with PostScript versions, and you might run into (technical) trouble if you set type in Apple's version -- the font metrics are not identical. Also, keep in mind that, if they require pre-press quality PDF, Mac OS X's "Save as PDF" print option does not qualify!
(4) If you're thinking of PDF e-publishing only, then embedding Gill Sans should be fine. Embed only the required subset, not the entire font; further -- depending on your plans -- you might wish to set security options, such as requiring password to print or to copy contents. While it is possible to bypass these features, why make it easy for plagiarists?
Good luck.

BO XIR2 Licensing Question

Was hoping if someone could help me out with a licensing question I have. I am trying to understand how BO licensing works.
I think it would be easier if I asked the question through an example.
The scenario is a situation where we have a standard BO XIR2 enterprise installation with an app server, db server and web server.
1. The app server is a normal BO XIR2 installation
2. The web server is also as from a BO XIR2 installation.
3. The db server runs the data store and audit module is on in the db.
4. The following report types are to be used by the end user
    4a. Crystal Reports
    4b. Web Intelligent reports (View, drill down etc)
    4c. Desktop Intelligence report (View, drill down etc)
5. The development box is the same setup in which the 10 developers should have access to have access to these build the universes, crystal, webi and deski reports.
6. The prod environment will be used by 50 users who should be able to access webi crystal and deski reports.
7. These users should also be able to create custom webi reports
Since the licensing for BO is a bit different, can someone please help understand all the different types of licenses required for this setup?

BO licensing is pretty straight forward, but you should speak to a sales rep for particulars. Generally from the server we have 3 types CPU (in which case everything you stated would be supported), Named Users (in which case you would need 1 per user logging in) and concurrent users (which would require enough licenses to support the maximum of concurrently logged on users).
The slow response is likely due to the US thanksgiving holiday, I'm sure more folks will be back next week.

SQL 2012 Standard license question to Microsoft

I have a 2 - cpu server with 6 cores per cpu.
If I disable 3 cores on each cpu in the BIOS can I use the 6 total remaining cores for the license count or do I have to
license all 12 cores even if they are disabled and not usable by the OS or SQL?
I want to keep the second cpu and memory controller for redundancy.

Its better to check with licensing expert on these types of questions.
For question regarding pricing / licensing please contact a Microsoft sales partner or licensing expert.
Call (1-800-426-9400), Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM PST to speak directly to Microsoft licensing specialist.

Lumira Server for BI Platform and Team/Edge consumption & licensing question

Hi. I have a few questions.
Question 1:
From my reading, I've heard that Lumira Edge/Team server may not be a part of BI-Suite License. I read a Lumira Server ASUG Webcast recap by Tammy Powlas here (SAP Lumira Server for Teams Roadmap ASUG Webcast) over the weekend and one of the Q&A questions struck me:
Q: Is this included with the BI Suite license from SAP?
A: Lumira Server for Teams (Edge Edition) is not covered under BI Suite License. However, Lumira Server for BI Platform (RTC Planned in April) is covered under BI Suite licenses
In a separate conversation late 2014, I thought I'd heard that Lumira Team/Edge server was supposed to be usable by BI Suite licensed customers, but it sounds like I'm mistaken?
Question 2:
Next, the second part of the statement gave me hope:
However, Lumira Server for BI Platform (RTC Planned in April) is covered under BI Suite licenses
I then looked at the Lumira Deployment Options for Departments Part 1 – ASUG Webcast by Tammy Powlas to get some more information on Lumira Server for BI Platform. This slide gave me some hope (emphasis mine in green):
But then I see some more information a little later:
Is this slide to imply that the version without HANA (or HANA XS) for BI Platform will only really just serve as a user rights management and Lumira document repository? And that if I want to view a Lumira document, I must still open from the Lumira Desktop client?
It was suggested I start a new discussion thread to ask this licensing question about a product that's not out yet (but the slide says it's GA so I'm still confused) so here I am with my discussion thread!
Hopefully someone can make me less confused. I'm hoping the answer is as a BI-Suite customer that we do not have to make a decision to either invest in new Edge/Team licenses or buy HANA XS hardware to establish a beachhead of Lumira usage in our organization. We've been struggling with promoting Lumira and the sharing piece has been the sore spot.

Hi Michael
You are right, it is confusing...
I think it will be better to contact sales to get this explained as opposed to technical support people that monitor this SCN Space.

Instant Client SQL*Plus License Question

Can anyone shed some light on a license question for me? (I know that most license questions are for Oracle Sales to handle, but this involves a supposedly free product.)
I want to use SQL*Plus with the Instant Client in a production environment, but I am not sure whether I am entitled to. Does Instant Client "support" SQL*Plus only in the sense that if I already own a license for SQL*Plus I can use it with the Instant Client, or is the Instant Client SQL*Plus package also truly free to deploy and use?
The download page has links to download a basic Instant Client, plus several optional packages, one of which is SQL*Plus. However, the FAQ does not tell me whether the optional packages (specifically SQL*Plus) is also free to deploy and use in a production environment, and I could not find any other helpful document.
The FAQ says that "Instant Client is FREE for anyone to use in a development or production environment." It also says immediately following that "Instant Client can be used to run your OCI, OCCI, Pro*C, JDBC, and ODBC applications without installing a full Oracle Client. In addition, Instant Client supports SQL*Plus." [emphasis mine]
I would appreciate any help on this.
Thanks in advance,
Anthony

Why don't you call Oracle sales? I guess they'll be happy to answer your question.
Yours,

CS5 Student License Question

Licensing question:
In 2011, I purchased a student license to CS5 for my mac. I have installed it on one laptop that I am the primary user of. The laptop has two user logins, mine and my husbands.
Can my husband use CS5 on the computer on an occassional basis (either through my username or his) and still be okay from a licensing point of view? There are several questions that hint at this, but I can't find a clear answer. I've read the EULA, but I'm still confused whether this is permissable or not.
Thanks for any help.

That's into the area of legal interpretation, but you don't need to overthink it. You may have purchased the license, but technically the activation is per computer, is it not? So one could simply assume that this is perfectly intended or at least within the freedom that the EULA provides... It's not like you're letting your neighbors use it for a buck an hour, or is it?

Four yes, no type of questions in one slide

What I like to do is to put four true-or-false (yes-or-no) type of questions in one slide if possible.
I achieved this using yes, no widget (I cannot remember where I got it)
But in this widget, I can just choose yes or no without any feedback.
But someone frome the top asked me to add feedback on each question.
Can we achieve this kind of functionality using advance action?
If possible, I would like to make each question appear one at a time.
For example, the first question appear. After users select either yes or no, then
appropriate feedback appear with arrow buttow. If youers click on the arrow button,
the second yes-or-no question will appear etc. I attached a picture to illustrate my point.
What is the best practice to achieve this kind of activity? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Lieve is right, whether you are deploying it for LMS or not is vital.
Also if you like you can insert 8 transparent buttons for i.e. 2 for each section, under button properties if you like you can set Reporting to -- Include in Quiz, a button would by default have Hint, Success Failure caption, enable the one you like, also you can initiate an action to make rest appear once you click arrow.
This might be a little longer route to achive it, but should work.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Licensing question for AD enterprise with new SQL Server

Hi!
We have Server 2008 R2 STD where our AD is located and it has enough User CAL's. Additionally we have Terminal server with TS licenses.
Now we're purchasing a Server 2012 where we plan to install SQL Server 2012 STD where we will install our third party program and this program is going to be used through Terminal server.
Now the question is do I only need SQL CAL's or will I have to get both SQL CAL's AND User CAL's for the new server? I'm thinking AD servers User CAL's is enough for the whole enterprise, but I'm not 100% sure and need help with this!
Thanks!

Licensing questions should be directed to trained Microsoft licensing specialists instead of a technical forum.
www.microsoft.com/licensing.
That said, SQL CALs and operating system CALs are sold separately. Talk with the vendor from whom you are purchasing your licenses. They should be able to help you sort out the CAL questions.

General Licensing Question

I know the obvious answer is 'talk to SAP representative' and we are trying to line this up, but I thought I would ask the forum for real life examples. We run IDM using HCM as the source of truth and provision to many other SAP systems (both in productive and non productive instances). My understanding is this licensing is included as part of our SAP Netweaver licensing.
Now we want to look at provisioning to AD, Exchange and possible unix/linux systems. HCM will still be the source of truth so I am not looking for provisioning lots of non sap users into AD.
What is the licensing structure for non sap systems ? If I just use the AD create/change user job does that require a license ? Are there levels of license based on the number of users or number of non SAP systems to provision to ?
Just trying to get the facts straight in my head *before* the sales guys turn up !
thanks

Spoke with SAP. Basic rules are ;
If you use IDM to manage users in any non sap area such as AD or Unix, you need to buy the extra license (which is a per named user type license).
Any provisioning to SAP systems does not require any license cost since it is included as part of the original IDM package.
Regardless of the method you use to talk to these non-sap systems (eg Global provisioning framework task versus exporting an ASCII text file and using external tools to provision), you still require the license.
Licensing only applied to production systems. I can manage dev/test users on non-sap systems without any licensing issues .
Cost per user was discussed, and lets just say that for the recommended cost per user and the number of users we have, I can employ a person just to sit there and manually do the provisioning. But thats not quite as automated and immediate !
Hope this helps understand licensing.

OPSS API licensing question

Hi product managers,
Is there a licensing restriction on use of OPSS API's with ADF essentials ? Will this API be included in the future ADF essentials build ? Will there be a separate licensing cost for this API in this case one might use the Apache LDAP API's.
I have seen the OPSS FAQ whitepaper but it said that post 11gr1 release they might offer it separately but the document is really old.
Regards,
Ramandeep Nanda

Hi Ramandeep,
Licensing questions are best answered directly by the Oracle Sales team - the answer could depend on the products that your company already have licensed, and how they are bundled etc.

Storsimple design/licensing questions

Hello all,
I have read the online docs, but I still have some questions:
1. How does the pricing for the Storsimple actually works? What I understand from the website that you actually get it for free but you need to purchase a 2 year licence of 50 or 100 TB?
2. The Virtual Device is probably not included in the license? Meaning that I would actually pay for a normal Azure vm with the included storage in order to have this Virtual Device?
3. Question 3 actually could cause me to pay double for the storage? The storage for the Storsimple and the same storage that is located in azure for the Virtual Device?
4. Deduplication works on a per container basis or on per a whole device?
5. Is the storage that is written to Azure also stored in a deduplicated form in Azure. The Virtual Device and the azure storage for the physical storesimple.
6. In what ways can I used as a backup target? I think only as a LUN presented to a backup server right? I am aware of the backup possibilities, but I do not have the data stored on the Storesimple itself.
7. It does not look as if I can scale a Storesimple out. So if I am growing over the years then it could be that the performance will drop because it needs to retrieve more and more from azure?
Thanks!

You should discuss all licensing questions with your Account Executive. They can explain all of your options to you.

Licensing question. Buying older components of OS X.

Licensing question. Buying older components of OS X.
My first question is where might I find an older version of imovie?
If you purchase OS 10.4 Tiger, are you entitled to download an earlier version of imovie such as imovie2, imovie 3 or imovie4 for no cost? Or must I also purchase iLife05 in order to instal any version of imovie? The reason I ask is that I remember that OS 10.1.5 use to have imovie included. Now imovie seems to be part of iLife which is a separate software package to purchase.
How and where might I find an earlier version of imovie? I ask this in terms of older computers that may run the older versions of imovie better than imovieHD.
Here is why I was asking:
I once spoke with someone at Apple who explained to me that if you purchase an OS from Apple, you are entitled to the software from earlier OSes. If I remember correctly, the example we were discussing was in terms of fonts. I must be certain to indicate that this is how I perceived the licensing issue and I could be incorrect in my understanding:
"If a user purchases an operating system from Apple, they are entitled to install any software from previous releases of the Operating system." For example, if a user purchases a second computer such as a portable computer, and then purchases mac os 10 for that computer, he or she may legally install any fonts that may have been bundled with any earlier Apple Operating Systems such as the fonts that came bundled with OS 8.5.
On Apple's web site is an area where one may download old software (old os systems) for free. These bundled fonts may be installed on as many computers as one would like because Apple offers them for free. You most likely would need to have purchased at least one of Apple's Operating Systems to be able to legally use the software from any earlier versions of your Operating System.
And so I would like to ask if this could be also considered in terms of OSX. If I buy Tiger, am I legally entitled to Panther on that same computer? This may be helpful for someone who would like to use Tiger as well as some older components of Panther. Maybe for some reason ical version 1.5 (in Panther) might be prefered over ical version 2.0 (in Tiger) due to some computer compatibility issue. Whether this is practical or not I am just outlining a theoretical example to help understand the specifics of Apple OS licensing.
And so I would like to ask this question in terms of imovie. How might I purchase an older version of imovie? May I purchase Tiger and then find an OEM version of Panther which I would then be legally entitled to install on that same computer? Or is there a place on the Apple website where users of Tiger are able to download older components from older OSX versions?
Or must I purchase the retail versions of both Tiger and Panther?
Thank you for any clarification,

Thank you Allan and Dakota for jumping into this issue.
Allan, you have been very helpful with your comments and I think you have answered the question which is "no" (unfortunately). To summarize then, if you purchase an OS, you are not entitled to the components of an earlier OS - unless Apple makes it available free on their website. For example, if you purchase Tiger, you are not entitled to any components of Panther or Jaguar - even the older imovie that came with 10.1.5. It would be nice if Apple jumped into the discussion here to confirm this, however I am sure that is what they would say. Unless I hear otherwise I will assume this is also Apple's stance - that if you purchase an OS 9 (or application), you are not entitled to the components of an earlier OS (or application).
Dakota raises a good point also. However, unfortunately I see a small legal technical flaw with Dakota's procedure. Apple licences software per computer rather than per user. (I believe Adobe's licencing policy is the other way around - which I prefer.) And so technically iMovie 3.0.3 is only licensed to the Powerbook and cannot legally be copied to the iMac even if the iMac is running the latest version of iLife (and Tiger). You see, that was one of the key issues in this original post.
Personally I wish Apple would lessen the restriction on this policy with a clause in the licencing agreement allowing use of some earlier versions of applications (or OS components) to be used - especially the iLife components such as iMovie or iPhoto.
Licencing per user rather than per computer seems to be a little more practical for users in terms of promoting people to adopt the digital lifestyle considering many people have a workstation at home and also carry a portable on the road - well a little less costly anyways for the user. It would be nice if we were able to legally copy certain components across devices but that doesn't seem to be the case today with Apple. Perhaps Apple's licencing policy could be a hybrid model and follow some aspects of Adobe's licencing model. Here's an idea: allow users to pay for a "sub" licence for older apps. Everyone would benefit. Apple would earn more income from us and we would legally be able to use more Apple software on more devices. Just a few thoughts to share.
Mike
