VISTA activation of Studio 8

We have a site licence for Macromedia studio 8 which allows
us to install copies of any of the applications throughout the
school.
Activation is achieved by running a program activate.exe
This works OK for XP machines but doesnt seem to function for
VISTA. The licence files seem to copy across but the dialog box
requesting a serial number or to carry on in trial mode isnt
removed.
Any suggestions?

Dreamweaver 8 works fine on Vista after you update to 8.02.
Fireworks 8 has
minor issues with aero glass. If you are running aero when
you launch
Fireworks there is some screen flashing as Vista switches out
of glass. Then
Fireworks runs fine and you get the same flashing when you
close Fireworks.
Other than the annoyance of Fireworks switching display modes
I didn't
experience any problem with Vista and Macromedia Studio 8.
I had no problem activating our volume license either but I
run as
administrator - something Microsoft does not recommend. There
are issues
with some programs that are not installed as administrator
and that maybe
what you are running into with activate.exe being blocked or
it could be the
stronger Vista firewall blocking activate.exe from running.
I've had that
happen a couple times after running Windows update even with
CS 3.

Windows Vista Activation Error KB948465 - Best Fix?

I have had a Dell Inspiron Desktop 530 S since 2009, it came preinstalled and activated with Windows Vista SP2. In 2011, the hard drive developed a problem and working with Dell, we reinstalled the OS. I have been running without any issues since
then, and just this past Sunday, April 19th, 2015 when I booted up in the morinng, I got a black screen, and a notification in the lower right corner = "Windows Vista (TM), Build 6002, This copy of Windows is not Genuine".
I had made no software or hardware changes, to precipitate this, though I did see two windows updates had occurred the day before. I have had Dell attempt to resolve this issue and they could not, I have had 1st and 2nd Tier at Microsoft try, including
replacing the OEM SLP with the COA SLP from the placard on my computer via telephone IVR. An MS technician did the telephone activation for me. All efforts by MS or Dell have left me getting error "0XC004E003" when attempting to activate
the OS using the product key from the placard on my computer. That error I understand indicates a problem accessing or reading the SLIC table in the BIOS. MS insists my only solution is to reinstall the OS from my diskette and then of course resinstall
all software, etc., and I am looking for a better solution.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Vista activation issue

I have a T-61 6465 CTO with Windows Vista Ultimate (OEM). Something became corrupted and I contacted Lenovo and Microsoft about this issue. MS provided a replacement disc to fix the issue. I loaded it and it asked for the product key which I used from the sticker on the bottom of the computer. It would not activate and thus did the numerous Microsoft remedies, to no avail. Thus I reset it for yet another 30 days. MS suggested contacting Lenovo as original Vista Ultimate was an OEM. I could don't obtain the support from Lenovo as I had expected. Any thoughts of how can I obtain a Vista Ultimate Product Key?

I appreciate your information. It appears that MS says it is Lenovo issue and Lenovo says it is a MS issue... Quite circular and time consuming. To clarify: When I purchased my T61 it had Vista on it. I elected to downgrade to XP and did so. I recently decided to give the Vista a Try as some things were not compatible with my XP. I reformatted and installed the Original OEM Vista. It was fine for a few weeks then problems. Lenovo would not assist as it was out of warranty, but MS helped and offered this option: I understand that the issue persists and you intend to do Clean Installation to fix the current issue. As an end-user myself, I can understand this is a time-consuming process. On the other hand, this is also a quick way to resolve the issue. Sometimes, when we have several issues at one time, it is very likely that some core components are corrupted. In this situation, a clean installation can help refresh the whole system and clear the unnecessary or corrupted information. I believe the system performance should improve as well. ....MS offered: that this issue can be resolved as soon as possible and the system can work perfectly. MS Technical support would like to to order a Vista Installation DVD with the legitimate Product Key for you free of charge to reinstall Vista. I obtained this, loaded it and attempted to activate, but it would not take my Key. I called MS and Lenovo again with each pointing to the other, I was able to fix the issue and get another 30 days before it will return to limitless use as it could not be activated. So I have a legitimate Vista Ultimate product, but can not get it activated. I would appreciate advice. Why is obtaining a Product Key so difficult when you have a legitimate version? Any assistance would be most appreciated

Oracle 10g express, Windows Vista and Visual Studio 2005

Hello,
I have Oracel 10g express and Visual Studio 2005 professional, all installed on Windows Vista and working fine.
I want to use the .net tools but I have had problems to install the wright version for this environment. Has anybody have this same configuration working? What are the downloads I need to have and the steps to have the .net oracle tools working ?

It can be done:
1) Download and install XE. Don't download the special "ODT for XE"
2) Download and install ODAC 11g with ODT into a different directory than XE
3) Copy over the TNSNAMES.ORA from the XE install into the new Oracle home.

Vista activation issues

I have two computers running Vista Ultimate that were recently rebuilt. The computers were purchased before my time. We had a generic OEM Vista disk which I thought (hoped) had come with the computers. I was able to install Vista and
use the product keys the computer were labeled with. Now a month or two later, they're reporting messages about Windows needing to be activated. I have attempted to re-enter the codes again, but it will not accept them. I reinstalled the
same version of Windows, just obviously with a disk other than what came with the computer. The option to contact Microsoft about the problem leads you to enter credit card information, which I shouldn't have to do. Can someone point me to a phone
# or site where I can resolve this?
Thank you.

HELP!! iTunes installation causes Windows Vista Activation corruption

We bought a new Dell Inspiron laptop from Dell that came with Windows Vista (32 bit)= a legal copy. I have tried to install the latest version of iTunes. The software seems to install ok, but when it is finished, I get messages from Vista that the my Windows Vista may be counterfeit, that I need to validate it. When I try to validate, it fails and never validates, and the machine no longer boots up in normal mode. The only thing that I can do is go into safe mode and restore the operating system to before I tried the install. The end result is no more iTunes until I can figure this out. Has anyone else seen this problem? Everything else is working fine.

Try following steps:
1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components
3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

You should not have to activate the factory preload OS. Maybe you should try a factory restore using the Thinkvantage button at system startup.

Hi Luis,
It looks like you are working with a debug build:
'prueba2_oci.exe': Loaded 'C:\Users\Usser3\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\prueba2_oci\Debug\prueba2_oci.exe', Symbols loaded. <=== I see Debug in the path, so this looks like a debug build.
But then further down in your output I see this:
'prueba2_oci.exe': Loaded 'C:\instantclient_11_1\vc9\oraocci11.dll' <=== This is the release build of OCCI dll not the debug build.
You appear to be mixing debug and release libraries which will not work correctly.
This is in the following step in the blog post:
"Expand Configuration Properties node, expand Linker node, select Input item, enter "oraocci11d.lib" for a debug build or "oraocci11.lib" for a release build."
If you are creating a debug build you need to use oraocci11d.lib as input to the linker.
You use oraocci11.lib as input to the linker for the release build.
For your reference, this is what you should see in the output window in Visual Studio for the debug execution:

Activation Problem vista !

Hi
Im new here and my problem is windows vista activation.
I have lenovo 3000 n100 0768-ffg

there is no need to do an activation for vista since it is pre activated in the factory itself better make recovery media from lenovo care and reinstall vista if u dont want to remove ur documents and apps go for express install in rescue and recover environment

Can't activate windows vista

I am trying to install Windows Vista Business (retail boxed) 64 bit. The box didn't include 64 bit media and so I've downloaded it from technet. The install asks for the product key but it is not accepted "your product key cannot be validated.
Review your product key and make sure that you have entered it correctly".
I have been in a chat with microsoft for 2.5 hours so far and they have referred me to this forum. I don't feel that I am getting anywhere and I am incredibly frustrated.
I enclose the contents of the chat so that you can see what has already been discussed and what steps have already been taken.
You are now chatting with 'Ethan'.
Ethan: at 10:05:35
Hello Craig. Welcome to the TechNet Online Concierge. How may I assist you today?
Ethan: at 10:07:56
Excuse me, Craig, are you there?
Craig Stenton: at 10:08:01
Hi Ethan. I believe I spoke to you yesterday. I have a retail boxed version of Vista that has been unused that I'd like to use, but it only includes media for 32 bit and I am trying to obtain the media for 64 bit. I was given a link to download the software,
which I have done but my product key doesn't work with the software - product key cannot be validated. The software that I have is Vista Business (box)
Ethan: at 10:09:36
Thanks for your inquiry. In that case, you may claim a product key from the downloading page by clicking the "Product Keys" button.
Ethan: at 10:10:06
Or do you still want to use that product key?
Craig Stenton: at 10:11:07
That's ok if I can legally do that. The software will not be used by me and so I'm not sure the technet license should be used by another. I'm ok with it because I know that I have got a license for Vista. Is that ok legally?
Craig Stenton: at 10:12:01
Also, now that Microsoft is finishing the technet program, what happens to the license keys? Will they become invalid at some point in time?
Ethan: at 10:12:40
Technically, they will continue to work as usual. However, according to TechNet Licensing Terms, you must remove all TechNet products after your subscription expires. There is no perpetual use rights for any TechNet subscription.
Craig Stenton: at 10:16:08
So how does that relate to this enquiry? If I use the technet license and then my subscription expires then I can no-longer use the technet product key. Is it ok to continue to use it in place of the one with the boxed product? If it will work technically,
and I can prove that I have one product key (that I am not using for technical reasons) is that ok?
Ethan: at 10:18:06
In this case, I'd like to check your product key for you. Could you please send the key to [email protected] with "To Ethan" included in the subject so that I could know the issue better? Thanks.
Ethan: at 10:20:45
I mean I'd like to check why the key can't activate your media so that I could tell you if there is any other solutions.
Craig Stenton: at 10:22:01
My media only seems to install 32 bit but the license covers 32 bit and 64 bit. I need 64 bit media.
Craig Stenton: at 10:22:46
My product key doesn't work with the 64 bit media that I have downloaded from technet.
Ethan: at 10:23:38
Excuse me, you mean your product key is a 32 bit key, right?
Craig Stenton: at 10:24:22
I have a product key and just want 64 bit software to work with it. I want it to be legally correct but to a point, in my mind, it shouldn't matter if the software has to use a different product key to replace mine.
Ethan: at 10:26:43
Please note that product key and installation media must match with each other. Do you need me to check the type of your product key for you at this moment?
Craig Stenton: at 10:27:07
There is nothing on the box to say that it is 32 bit only. It does say "includes 32 bit dvd and information on obtaining 64 bit dvd", which does suggest that the product key is for 32 bit and 64 bit. there isn't any information to obtain 64 bit media
Ethan: at 10:31:25
Thanks for your information. In this case, I'd suggest you to contact our Windows Store support to see if they could provide you the retail installation media for you.
Ethan: at 10:31:25

Ethan: at 10:44:25
By the way, may I know where did you get this product key?
Craig Stenton: at 10:45:28
But surely I can just download the 64bit software? I don't want to have to wait for a disk to be delivered and I don't expect to have to pay for it if it's available on download.
Craig Stenton: at 10:46:19
The product key is on the Vista Business box. I can provide a photo if you wish
Ethan: at 10:46:31
Sorry, I mean could you please tell me where did you get your retail boxed version of Vista
Craig Stenton: at 10:47:36
Oh, sorry. I can't be certain. Possibly PC World - I used them quite a lot at that time.
Craig Stenton: at 10:49:05
I didn't buy it off ebay or other dubious sources if that is the purpose of your query. If I look back through our accounts I will be able to determine where it was purchased but that is a big task.
Ethan: at 10:53:16
I just double checked it for you, Windows Vista product keys should work for both 36 bit and 65 bit versions.
Ethan: at 10:54:11
**Windows Vista product keys should work for both 36 bit and 64 bit versions. Sorry for my typo.
Craig Stenton: at 10:55:17
I saw that but I know what you meant ;-> so, now that we know that my product key is valid for 64 bit, how do I download the 64bit media? It must be available.
Ethan: at 10:57:55
Just to confirm, your product key is for Windows Vista Business, right?
Craig Stenton: at 10:58:50
Yes, that is correct
Ethan: at 11:02:37
Could you please tell me if you have used before? Also please give me more information about activating the media downloaded from our TechNet site.
Ethan: at 11:02:55
**Could you please tell me if you have used the key before? Also please give me more information about activating the media downloaded from our TechNet site.
Ethan: at 11:04:30
Sorry, I just noticed that you said the key is unused. Then could you please tell me the error message when you activate with the key?
Craig Stenton: at 11:04:52
TBH, I'm not even sure I ever used it, but if I did, it wasn't for long. I purchased it so that I could support a couple of users with new Vista laptops but then downgraded them to XP due to problems (then) with Vista.
Craig Stenton: at 11:06:14
The problem that I get when trying to use my product key with the download from technet is "your product key cannot be validated. Review your product key and make sure that you have entered it correctly"
Ethan: at 11:06:48
In that case, could you please send the key to [email protected] with "To Ethan" included in the subject so that I could check for you if the key is still valid?
Ethan: at 11:09:17
Excuse me, Craig, are you still there?
Craig Stenton: at 11:11:10
yES, i AM STILL HERE. jUST SENDING THE EMAIL
Craig Stenton: at 11:11:31
Sorry, caps on for typing the product key in my email to you.
Ethan: at 11:12:02
It's okay, please take your time.
Craig Stenton: at 11:16:24
I have sent the email to you. I have included photos of the product key and the message.
Ethan: at 11:17:08
Thank you, please give me a moment to check it for you.
Craig Stenton: at 11:19:47
ok
Ethan: at 11:23:57
Still checking. Sorry for the delay.
Ethan: at 11:31:44
Thanks for your waiting. I have checked it for you, your product key is valid.
Craig Stenton: at 11:32:23
OK, but it doesn't work with the software downloaded from technet so what do we do about it?
Ethan: at 11:32:27
But I'm afraid it can be only used on one machine.
Craig Stenton: at 11:33:06
It will only be used on one machine.
Ethan: at 11:35:24
Our tool shows that the key has been used for activation before. Is that also on the same machine?
Craig Stenton: at 11:37:40
If it has been activated before then it would either have been my machine, in which case it hasn't been used for a very long time, or a 32 bit version on the machine that I am trying to use it on, which would have been in the past couple of days.
Craig Stenton: at 11:42:44
Are you still there Ethan?
Ethan: at 11:43:46
Sorry, I was taking to another customer online.
Ethan: at 11:44:54
Could you please provide me the file name of your installation media?
Ethan: at 11:47:34
Excuse me, Craig, are you still with me?
Craig Stenton: at 11:47:41
Yes I am
Craig Stenton: at 11:47:56
Do you mean the file that I downloaded from technet?
Ethan: at 11:48:09
Yes, you are correct.

Craig Stenton: at 11:49:12
I understand that this is not Vista Business, which I queried in my chats yesterday and I was told that it is the same media and should be ok
Ethan: at 11:52:13
Yes, the media contains Windows Vista and other editions. Normally, you may just claim a product key for Windows Vista Business, then you can install Windows Vista Business on your machine.
Craig Stenton: at 11:54:14
OK, so can you help me with that please?
Craig Stenton: at 11:54:42
It seems that I have the correct media, and my product key is valid so there shouldn't be any problems
Ethan: at 11:57:21
In that case you may call your regional Activation Center for further assistance. Please give me a moment to locate the contact information of the Activation Center in the UK.

Excuse me, have you received my above messages, Craig?
Craig Stenton: at 12:01:54
Yes I have
Ethan: at 12:02:41
Is there anything else I could do for you at this moment?
Craig Stenton: at 12:02:59
yes
Craig Stenton: at 12:03:12
just bear with me
Craig Stenton: at 12:05:06
I have done what you said and when I call the number it is an automated system that requires numbers from the activation wizard. I can't ebven install thde software to be able to get to that stage. I need my product keey to be made to wotk with the downloaded
media, or if it can't be made to work then I need to be supplied with a product key that will work
Ethan: at 12:07:18
Please give me a moment to check it for you.

Craig Stenton: at 12:13:04
but I can't install windows! During the install I am asked for the product key and it tells me that it is not valid and so I can't proceed.
Craig Stenton: at 12:14:16
I can't use the usual methods of activation because I cannot get an activation code. I can't use the activation wizard. I can't call the number because it requires an activation code.
Craig Stenton: at 12:14:35
I am completely stuck without somebody making it work.
Craig Stenton: at 12:16:01
We've established that everything is correct so what is the problem?
Ethan: at 12:18:45
Okay, then you may post this issue on our support forums for further assistance from our support engineers. One moment please, let me locate the entrance for you.
Craig Stenton: at 12:20:09
But surely it isn't a support issue. It is a product key issue.

Hi,
I'm a bit confused with this paragraph, as you said Vista already install on your computer, why did you say Windows can't be installed?
According to your description with your problem, it is Product edition and key are not match. Firstly of all, we must make sure the system you installed on your computer was
Windows Vista Business, not matter 32 or 64 bit.
Note: you can check current system edtion at System Properties.
After that, you can try to input your product key and activate your system for test.
If problem still presists, it would be better to provide the activation error message.

Midisport 2x2 on osx 10.5.8 fails (but works in Fusion with Vista)

Windows definitely wins this one. On the same machine, Windows just works. The Mac, not so much.
I installed the midisport mac drivers, and after that the lights on the device turned on. So far so good.
But:
GarageBand shows 0 midi inputs
Audio Midi Setup shows no midi input
MIDI Monitor shows no midi inputs
The hardware is correctly cabled. I'm using VMWare Fusion with Windows Vista on the same machine, and midi input works in Windows with a program called Anvil Studio. I can record midi from my keyboard (but with a huge delay).
VMWare Fusion is the only Mac program that notices that the midi adapter is there. The menus shows: Virtual Machine/USB/Connect Midiman USB Device.
Any suggestions for other things to try? How can I verify that the driver is properly loaded? I see this:
root 116 0.0 0.2 137576 6772 ?? S 9:55AM 0:00.43 /Library/StartupItems/M-Audio Firmware Loader/MAFL
How do you get a list of usb devices on a Mac? System Profiler shows it as a Composite Device (I think). No further info available. If VMWare Fusion can see that it's a Midiman USB Device, why can't System Profiler tell what it is?
Another wrinkle: Besides working in Vista with Anvil Studio, I haven't found another Windows utility that sees the midi input. For example, MIDI-OX tells me there is no midi device.
Hardware:
midisport 2x2
MacBook Pro osx 10.5.8
Yamaha P-90 keyboard

Error in external interactive activity redirection from workspace

I'm not able to configure external interacitve activity in studio 6.0.
Here what's done:
-added activity, main task imlementation = external
-assigned prepare(), commit() methods
-added new server configuration
When launching workspace, the > sign on activity in inbox, throws:
"The task is external and it needs to be invoked through an API call and not through the Classic WorkSpace."
I should redirect to external server, as promised with studio help:
"Configuration: you can optionally define an URL. When the task is executed from WorkSpace, WorkSpace redirects the execution to the URL. "
The same happens if project is deployed to standalone 6.0
Any solution or exact instuction how to configure external activities for albpm 6.0?

Workshop Studio license server scheduled downtime 9/21-9/24

Oracle IT is planning an extended maintenance on the hardware that currently hosts the Workshop Studio license server. Downtime is expected to start Wednesday, September 22nd and end by Saturday evening, September 25th.
During this downtime, you will be unable to activate and deactivate legacy Workshop Studio licenses.
As always, if you are an active Workshop Studio user, we strongly urge you to check out Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) as this is Oracle's strategic Eclipse IDE. Workshop Studio users can expect the same types of features to exist in OEPE like Web development tools, support for EJB, JPA, Web Services, AppXRay dependency validation, and much, much more.
We will update this thread when services are back online.
Thanks,
Greg

How to lock Vista product key?

My Vista product key is stolen and I want to lock down this, what can I do?
I dont want to let it use who stolen my key.

The key and the sticker placed on notebooks bottom side belongs to recovery image you got with your notebook and cannot be used for operating system activation.
With other words: if anyone installs Vista using Microsoft installation disc this key cannot be used for Vista activation. So don't worry about it.
Just be sure you have your recovery DVD on secure place and you can use it in the future for OS installation.
Even when you use this original Toshiba installation disc the licence key from the bottom must not be used.
