Violation of license agreement?
Hi,
I have weblogic server running on a machine 'A' and there are several
clients from different machines B,C,D.. connected to the weblogic
server.
I find that these clients need the weblogic JMS classes in their
classpath. Would I be violating the license agreement if I copy the
weblogic classes to the client m/cs (B C D) if yes, can I enable
network class loading and solve the problem?
regards
viswa
This is not a violation of the license. WebLogic is licensed typically by
the number of CPUs running the server. Any Java-based clients will need some
portion of the weblogic classes installed on the client machines and there is
no problem with doing this, as long as you don't run any copies of the server
there (which you couldn't do without a license anyway)...

I believe this is not a violation of the license agreement, but to be

Acrobat SDK License Agreement Question
The following is a section of the latest Acrobat SDK License Agreement from the Adobe website:
"3.2 Development Restrictions. You agree that You will not Use the Software to create, develop or use any program, software or service which . . . (b) can both (i) communicate with Adobe Reader Products and (ii) modify or save a PDF (Portable Document Format) document (including saving any modifications to a separate file for such documents);"
Does this mean that I am NOT allowed to develop a program that both:
Interfaces with Adobe Reader/Acrobat via the Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing purposes and
Builds and modifies PDF's using third party component(s)?
If the answer to the previous question is "YES", that means I can only use the Acrobat SDK in a program that is limited to PDF viewing and printing as far as PDF issues are concerned. That would be very restrictive for a real world application that involves PDF's, especially when I am supposed to "add significant and primary functionality" as the license aggreement also states.How do I go about contacting "Adobe Legal"?
Also, just to clarify our discussion on some subtle but important points . . .
I understand that Adobe Reader is just that, a read-only application. And, I understand that the Adobe solution for modifying PDF's is Adobe Acrobat. I have components from 3rd parties that let me programatically modify PDF's. So, from a strictly programming tools point of view, I don't need Acrobat to modify PDF's in my application. The 3rd party components handle the PDF modification tasks. I'm not trying to use the Acrobat SDK to modify PDF's, but rather only to view PDF's.
So, when you say:
"You can NOT use Reader to view PDF documents as part of a software solution that also modifies the PDF using some other technology"
Do you mean:
It is your understanding that using the Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing and 3rd party components for PDF modification in the same application constitutes a violation of the Acrobat SDK License Agreement?
And when you say:
"Acrobat, however, does not have this limitation"
Do you mean:
Adobe requires licensed Acrobat to be used for PDF modification in any application that uses Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing? (In other words, PDF modification is where Adobe wants to make a profit.)
Thanks for your input. -
Skype license agreement business use
Hello,
I'm searching the whole skype webpage, but cannot find anything related to my question about the license agreement for business use.
Can anyone tell me (or show me the link) to the page where it is told that i can or cannot use Skype for business use? We are a company of 60 people in The Netherlands, and we want to use Skype in our company to make calls to other users aroud the world. I want to know it this is legal.
We do not need the full version with screen sharing etc. Only video and sound with more that two people in more than to places around the world is fine.
Solved!

This is classic Microsoft at work - read our legal page. Almost every Microsoft product requires the opinion of one Microsoft license employee and 2 people at a VAR and even after a conference call most people walk away still confused or a recommendation in the "grey".
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxI hope Nadella can get this fixed and make it simple. We are not trying to rip you off we are trying to ask basic questions to understand and compare the alternatives - if all you can do is point to your legal agreement you have already failed one of the most basic business rules.
Can you please respond without referring to the legal agreement?
Thanks
I'm neither a Microsoft or Skype employee so I can only offer my observations. Our society and businesses are based off laws and contracts. Since legal counsel is often used to draft such agreements a business generally utilizes counsel to decipher areas that might require further clarification. I'm not a lawyer but I have found the Terms of Use to be rather straightforward. If I have to dumb it down further in respect to the original question, it's pretty simple.
Subscriptions are to be used by a singular person and can't be shared. You can't use subscriptions for call center operations, cold/revenue calling, etc. Skype's Fair usage policy is well worded (http://www.skype.com/en/legal/fair-usage/). Skype credit calling doesn't appear to be as restricted. If your business is making calls that coincide with standard business operations, I don't see how you would be in violation of anything. If your business operations are in a legal or possibly moral grey area then it would be better suited to interact with a company that explicitly supports your specific/unique operations. Of course if those operations are generally considered illegal then no contract or terms of use would legitimize it. -
Open Sourcing an iPhone Application acceptable under the License Agreement?
I've read through the licensing agreement, but I'm still not convinced either way. I want to make my iPhone application's source code available on the internet and set up a project page and SVN repository on a site such as Google Code. I wouldn't be distributing my signing keys and would be the single source for submitting the app to iTunes. Is this allowed under the License Agreement?
(Disclaimer: IANAL, I'm just a smart guy who's worked on GPL projects.)
That isn't the relevant part of the iPhone license agreement. The GPLv2 (which is probably the most important open source license for this question, as it's both very popular and has restrictions on mixing with proprietary code) does not encompass headers and libraries that are part of the operating system. That's how people can write open source Windows and Mac applications--believe me, Microsoft would not be pleased if someone contacted them and said that since Gaim was open source, they had to release the source code to the Win32 API. So the GPLv2 would not attempt to "annex" anything provided by Apple, and thus it wouldn't violate that section.
What may be relevant is the iPhone license section concerning confidentiality. If the class, method, function and constant names are considered "Apple Confidential Information", you would be in violation of the contract if you distributed code that revealed them. I rather suspect that nothing in the Foundation or Core Foundation frameworks could be considered confidential, as information about them is freely available to anyone who has the Mac OS X Core Library, which is distributed with every copy of Leopard. UIKit, Core Location, etc. are another story; I personally think that the fact that the APIs are included in the free SDK ought to preclude considering them confidential, but Apple might think differently.
In other words: you're definitely safe using LGPLv2 libraries. If the code would also compile with the Mac OS X SDK, you're almost certainly safe releasing it under the GPLv2*. If the code uses UIKit or other frameworks documented in the free SDK, you may be safe releasing it under the GPLv2. If you release any code that uses APIs that only licensed developers have access to under the GPLv2, you're probably totally screwed.
The GPLv3 is much stricter, and so the story there might be different; for example, I think it may have key-releasing requirements that would conflict with the contract. I don't really know much about it, though.
\* Remember, the original copyright holder can create alternate licensing arrangements for specific people. So he can say "anyone can use this code under the GPL, and as a special exception, it can be linked against FooCorp's non-GPL software". But to use anyone else's GPL code, you'd have to get all of the authors of that code to agree to the same exception. Alternately, you can just release your own code under the LGPL instead and then it's all good.

Creative Cloud license agreement question.
This is very interesting for me to use whole CS6 only for 50$/Mo. But it's a bit complicated.
Technically I am a citizen of Russia, but most of the year I live in USA or Thailand. And more importantly, I have an American bank cards.
So, my question is: Can I use my American bank card to purchase Creative Clouds subscription and don't violate agreement?
Thanks for answers.Hey EnotBert,
The issue is not that you have the US Bank card but it is that the Software needs to be Deployed in US only. ULA (User License Agreement.) says that if you want to Deploy the Software Locally you need to buy it Locally. Only Exception to that, if you are a CLP customer you can buy Perpetual License in US and deploy it anywhere in the world, but this does not apply for Cloud. Hope this helps and explains. Thanks Bharat. -
Can't open Photoshop CS5 I am required to accept the license agreement but still can't get in ...
I have had the Master Suite CS5 installed on my Macbook Pro for about 3 years now no problems , now it has started asking me to accept the Licence agreement when I try to open any of the applications (Photoshop / iD / Ai etc) .......
but when I click accept it just takes me back to the same window 'Accept / or not the License Agreement - basically going round in circles !! Meanwhile I ahve no access to the software !
I have tried re - installing to no avail ..... , LR 4 and Adobe Bridge still open fine no issues !!
I have carried out full updates of everything, done a system scan with MacKeeper, turned the computer fully off and back on ..... !
Any ideas/ suggestions would be welcome,
regards
ClareHi Clare, I am having the same problems with my CS5 Design Premium! I got the graphics card replaced in my iMac and since then every time I try to open one of the programs, I get the licence agreement, click accept and it takes me back to the agreement again. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it which worked until I closed one of the programs, then the whole thing started again! If I leave the programs open after I use them it works which I am having to do until I get it sorted! I am just wondering if you managed to get yours working?

I am using a Mac and have installed Adobe Reader for Mac, latest version. I cannot access the End User Licensing Agreement. I clicked on it and it gives me a message that I must launch Adobe, check that I agree, close and reopen. The problem is I can't find any way to launch Adobe because it appears nowhere on my launch pad, nor in my document files or on the control panel. Because of this, I cannot print bank statements nor can I get into my insurance companies billing department to make a payment. HELP!
How about in your Applications folder?

Windows 7 - installed IE10. Now every few times iTunes is opened I get the 'user license' agreement as if i am a new user. Apple SR techs have been working with me for weeks and have NOT solved this problem. i have a iPhone 4S, but this happens before I even plug in. Can you help? Also, second question:
Also, I have two apple accounts (mistake) and apple says that they cannot delete the invalid one! When I finally can get on iTunes it asks if I want to merge or replace - I am told to do neither (i am syncing by plugging in the 4S to my computer - i have Outlook). SO... right now i am unable to sync. SR Tech says having the 2 accounts is not the problem - actually - 2 techs said it was and 1 says it is not. SO frustrating! Is there a way to resolve this?
Thanks - CJ TexasMcAfee AntiVirus by any chance? See the thread Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml?

CS5 - License Agreement Loops - Will not allow me to Run Software
Originally I posted the following:
Dec 11th
I've been trying to install CS5 Master Edition. Disk I installed and I was asked to install disk II, it reached 51 percent and THEN it asked me to "please insert Disk CS5 Master Collection II to continue - then would not read the disk. I am running Windows Vista Premium Edition, I have 4 GB of Ram and 108 GB disk space available. I checked disk II and it is clean so it should work.
John T. Smith suggested the following: "Create a folder on your hard drive and see if you can use WinExplorer to copy all of the disc to that folder, and run from the folder." Which I did and the installation completed successfully.
Dec 12th
Now, when I go to open any of the programs, i.e. photoshop I am asked to accept the license agreement, which I do. I am then asked for my serial number which I provide and I get the little green check mark. When I click on continue it loops me back to the license agreement. It keeps looping and I cannot access any of the programs.
I then installed Adobe Acrobat 9.3. When I attempt access the program I received the following error message "you cannot use this produce at this time, you must repair the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling this product."
Honestly I have never had so many problems installing any product. To top it off Adobe does not offer any technical support on the weekends. I've been fighting all weekend with this product when I need to get assignments done. I'm truly at my wits end. If anyone out there has experienced similar issues I would so appreciate hearing from you and anything you did to resolve them.It sounds like you had a bad disk which is rare but hey it happens. Here's what I would do.
Deactivate the software (assuming you can launch an application)
Uninstall everything
Run the Adobe CS5 Clean Tool - http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs5clean.html
Optional Paranoid steps - restart the PC, run the CS5 clean tool again to verify there is nothing (Adobe MC5 anyway) on your system
Restart the PC
Make sure any and all anti-virus and anything you can turn off is off.
Install Master Collection as before.
I hope this helps and I'm sorry that you're experiencing some problems. If the above doesn't work, I'd consider requesting new media to install your software on.
Best,
Dennis -
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - License Agreement ACCEPT does not work
Today I purchased a license for Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, downloaded the software and installed. I execute the program and when I get to License Agreement I select accept and nothing happens. I can't get beyond this point.
I called Adobe Tech Support and they weren't able to help. I've seen many posts about this and no definite answer.
Before requesting a refund, does anybody know how to fix this problem?
I installed on Windows 7 Pro.
Thank you,I know this is an old posting, but for those like me who couldn't find the answer:
Had the exact same problem and tried all the previous tips to resolve, including registering the jscript.dll.
Thanks to the genius who posted the answer on another 'windows' forum (wish I could find that again).
Create a new local admin account (add that account to the administrator group).
Login to the new account and launch Acrobat. Then (hopefully) you can click "Accept" to the license agreement.
The registry key it creates is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\AdobeViewer\EULAAcceptedForBrowser (DWORD=0x00000001). Not sure if you can just manually add the registry value as I had already fixed it by creating the new local account.
After it accepts the license agreement, you can go back into your normal profile and run acrobat. yea!. -
I am getting this response when I am trying to open a file: Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.” What do I do? I have opened this up in the past without a problem.
Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -

Acrobat Pro XI problem+Accept End User License Agreement when opening a PDF inside IE
Hi folks, this issue has been challenging.
Acrobat Pro CC install
W7 X64
Deployment went ok after the code was worked out, but.....
We use Desire to Learn content management system at the community college where I maintain the student computers at. When running D2L and a PDF has been embedded in some course material, I am getting the message below and the PDF won't open.
“Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement" .
The only fix so far is to run up Acrobat Pro and run the program once. Fine and dandy, but we are looking at 700+ machines to clear in this fashion. The other part of this scenario we we also utilize Respondus Lockdown Browser to invigilate exams through D2L. Because of the "lock down" features, the student can't even get back to the desktop to run Acrobat and clear the message.
I have tried a number of GPO entries to no avail. As well, disabled the IE PDF viewer add-on. I ran Procmon with no results either; .
I have been scouring the Googlemachine and building on the GPO below to get around the issue with no results. I am hoping someone with a sharper eye than I can spot something or point me in the correct direction..
Thanks eh.
