WEBI CPU License Required for BOE Premium Install

We are being told that our BOE Premium Install requires a WEB Intelligence CPU license for View on Demand documents in addition to our BOE Premium CPU license. This is news to us. We have been told for 5 years that our BOE Premium CPU license was inclusive of WEB Intelligence Document View on Demand consumption. Has anyone else ran into this issue? Is this a recent change in licensing by SAP?

Yes, the premium license covers Crystal - you don't have to do anything special to "turn it on".
In order to create Crystal Reports for use in BOE, you must purchase a Crystal Reports license for each person who will be designing reports. There is no web interface for designing reports in Crystal, it is a desktop application.
Reports written in Crystal can be published to BOE (Crystal XI will publish to r2 and 3.x, Crystal 2008 will only publish to 3.x from within the software, but there are ways around that) or run from either a desktop or web application - the application has to have a Crystal Viewer component. There are several viewer apps available for viewing reports outside of BOE, or you can write your own (a version Crystal comes with Visual Studio.)

Is a license required for Oracle 11g installed on private developer box?

Hello,
I wish to install Oracle 11g on my personal computer to test some software that hits a database. Will I be able to install/run 11g on my machine for this use, or will it (eventually) prompt me for a license key? If I need a license, is there a free developer license available? I can't seem to find any info on this.
How is the licensing structured around the 11g "XE" BETA (express edition)? Is there a licensing difference between XE and non-XE?
And finally, is there a good summary of what features are missing from the XE edition? I tried installing 10g XE, and for example, the "DEFAULT TABLESPACE xxx" SQL command was not recognized. I need this 'feature' (as well as others). I'm assuming I'm going to need to install the full 11g release, but I hope there is no license required.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank You.

The general license agreement is here - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/licenses/standard-license-152015.html
In short, yes - you can download the software and use it for testing/prototyping.
11gXE Beta license terms are here - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/licenses/ea-license-152003.html

How many large install licenses required for a 5.x deployment?

I have been trying to determine the correct license requirement for a 5.x install. There will be 1 primary server and six secondary servers. It is very clear that I need the base license for each ACS instance, but the documentation notes that for greater than 500 devices (IPs) that a large install license is needed for each ACS deployment. Does this mean that each ACS appliance instance will require a unique Large Install license or I only need one license (presumably installed on primary) and that will cover the IP requirements for all my secondaries?

On a single license is required for a deployment.
The large install license is installed on the primary and gets replicated to all the secondaries in the deployment that are connected to that primary

SQL Licensing Requirement for E-Commerce

Hi Experts,
Does anyone know the SQL licensing requirements for E-Commerce/Web CRM components? Is it within Microsoft licensing guidelines to setup just a single user CAL for all users on the website, or do we need multiple user CALS or a Processor CAL?
Thanks in Advance,
Aaron

Hi AAron,
You will need a SQL CPU License for the webserver or indeed if you plan to use a single server.

This appears to be different behaviour than previous versions (>= version 3.3) and not what is described in the documentation.
can anyone advise?

There was a regression introduced in 3.5.1 where the Main-class attribute of the Coherence.jar was changed to a different main class leading to this effect.
The workaround is to specify the main class as part of the command line.
Assuming your current directory is the coherence home directory:
Start a cache server:
java -cp lib/coherence.jar com.tangosol.net.DefaultCacheServer Start the command line:
java -cp lib/coherence.jar com.tangosol.coherence.component.application.Console And the above is basically what the coherence.sh/.cmd and cache-server.sh/.cmd scripts do.

Is license required for Oracle 10g client on production

Is license required for Oracle 10g client on production?

Standard disclaimer: We don't represent Oracle. Your situation may be different because of specific wording in your particular Oracle contract, because of differences in licensing regimes over the years, because of laws in your particular country, etc. If you have a serious licensing question, you really need to address it to Oracle Sales. Explaining that some guy on the internet told you it was OK is going to be cold comfort if you're ever audited by Oracle and they disagree with my interpretation...
In general, no, you don't need a separate client license. The database is generally licensed to support a number of named users and/or all the users that a certain hardware configuration can support. Assuming the person using the Oracle client is connecting to a properly licensed database (and that they are one of the named users if that is the licensing regime), you shouldn't need a separate license.
There may be slightly different rules if we're talking about developers connecting to the database because of the "Oracle Programmer" set of licenses that appears on pricing sheets that I've never fully understood.

License required for Oracle 10g Release 2 ODAC 10.2.0.2.21

There is one oracle developer tool(ODP.net driver) available for download on Oracle website named as "Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio .NET with Oracle 10g Release 2 ODAC 10.2.0.2.21" link
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/downloads/index-101290.html
We required this tool for development purpose like "application connectivity with Oracle DB". Please let us know is this freeware or any license required for using this tool, If required what is the cost of that license.
Please help me in this. I tried to contact with Oracle support team. but the unable to answer my query.

A few things:
1) The latest version is 11.2.0.1.2. This will work with database versions back to 9.2. You do not have to select a ODT or ODP.NET version that matches your database version.
2) All of the .NET products are free and can be used by you in your application.
3) You automatically get technical support for the .NET products if you have support for Oracle Database.
Thanks,
Christian

Hardware requirements for BOE XI 3.1

Hello,
I am looking for the hardware requirements to install BOE XI 3.1, but could not find any information in Installation guide as well as deployment guide.
The information given is something like below, but if I click the link it will be redirected to SAP service market place.
================================================
System requirements
For a detailed list of supported environments and hardware requirements,
consult the Products Availability Report (PAR) document available on the
Business Objects support site http://support.businessobjects.com/documen
tation/supported_platforms. This document includes specific version and
patch-level requirements for web application servers, web browsers, and
operating systems. For information related to the planning of a

Where can I get the correct document?
Thank you in advanced!

Hi,
go to [http://service.sap.com/bosap-support] and navigate to Documentation->Supported Platforms->BusinessObjects XI 3.1
Keep in mind that what you see there are the minimum HW requirements. And if you are planing on deploying BOBJ on a virtual machine, make sure that it gets enough CPU and RAM and that the disk I/O on the host has a decent throughput.

Is mp3 licensing required for stand alone apps created with Flash Builder?

I've been writing some interactive educational software in ActionScript that utilizes Adobe AIR and plays mp3 files to communicate/instruct the user. I was wondering if I would need to pay mp3 licensing fees based on what I found at mp3licensing.com
I wrote to the folks at mplicensing.com and got the following question in reply:
Will the software itself include mp3 decode (playback) capability, or will it be using the decoder provided in Android. If the software doesn’t include mp3 code itself, but simply includes mp3 files for playback by the hardware device mp3 code, than you would need our content distribution license, not our electronic gaming license.
If this is true, then it may be that no license is needed at all, since we exempt from the need for our license any entity with mp3 revenues below USD $100,000 per year.
I responded:
I am writing this software in ActionScript using Adobe Flash Builder to create a stand alone application that will be bundled with Adobe AIR and use Adobe AIR to run. AIR supports Android, iOS, PC desktops, and Macs.
they replied:
I am not sure if AIR will play .mp3 files. If it does, and your code does not have mp3 encode or decode functionality, and AIR is simply used to play the content, and your revenues do not exceed USD $100,000 per year, our license is not required.
My question now is: Does Adobe AIR use the decoder provided in Android or does it have it's own decoding code? Are we subject to the licensing fees for games, etc when distributing programs that play MP3 files using Adobe AIR?
Thanks,
Robert

That site helps a little bit, but not totally. My existing server is Windows 2003 with 5 CALs included, and it works, though not because I understand the head-spinning details of Microsoft licensing. For example, I have no idea if I am actually
using the CALs, since the only thing ever done on that server (aside from web, email, and FTP) is me logging in by RDP to administer it.
I never considered 2008 Web edition because I might want to install something like the Access GUI, and the Web edition seems to forbid that. It was not clear if you could install third-party ftp server or mail server also. Web edition was a mysterious
product and is not my reference point.
It would be nice if Essentials could run a web server, since it's cheaper and simpler in terms of licensing. But nowhere is that stated yea or nay.
If I buy 2012 standard, do I need to spring for 5 CALs also? I need to administer by RDP, and have the other server drop backups onto the disk of the new one.

MS SQL Licensing Requirements for use with EIS

Does anybody know what the licensing requirements are for MS SQL to use it with Integration Services and Essbase? We have a couple of small apps that I want to start using with EIS/Essbase/Analyzer. My procurement department is telling me that I need to buy a SQL license for each server processor, because I am web-enabling data that's in SQL. Anyone have any info on this? Thanks!

That is really a MS question. But I do know pretty much how MS licensing works. If you decided to get processing based licensing, it is based on the processors on the machine where SQL is installed - NOT the number of processors of machines that will be accessing it. The repositories for EIS and Analyzer is 'minimal'. You can (should) install SQL on a single processor box and have both EIS/Analyzer use it.However, if you do install it on the Essbase box (which can be faster), you would have to secure a license equal to the number of processors on that box.If you do put it on a separate box, make sure you SA puts it 'close' to the Essbase/EIS/Analyzer box to limit network trafic.Rich [email protected]

Realistic system requirements for Design Premium on MAC

Hi,
Can anyone give me some realistic system requirements for CS4 Design Premium? I am just about ripping my hair out with having to reboot several times a day because i'm running out of memory on my PC and am thinking about switching to MAC.
I am currently running a PC well above the recommended specs for Design Premium CS4 and it looks as though I will have to upgrade anyway. Designer friends tell me their MACs never require rebooting (but again i guess it depends on the MAC specs).
My questions are:
* If i buy a MAC, what would I need to buy to comfortably run Design Premium CS4 without any crashes?
* reading some of the other discussion threads in this forum it seems some products don't work/aren't supported by MAC? Of the Design Premium products which ones would I have issues with?
* Does anyone know what the deal is with switching the software licensing from Windows to Mac? (I heard you can only switch if you are upgrading which would mean I would have to wait until CS5 is released.)
Advice would be appreciated!!
Cheers,
Karen

Thanks Michael,
I do use a few of the programs at once: Bridge + Photoshop + Illustrator + Indesign (actually, have learnt cannot run all of these at once but would love to!);
Dreamweaver + Fireworks (Fireworks constantly causes me headaches where files become locked and cannot be saved - all due to shortage of memory)
Usually run virus software - full scan weekly, so am pretty sure my system is clean.
Great idea about disabling Virus software - will ensure I unplug from modem first!! I will give that a go.
Cheers,
Karen

OS 2008 Licensing requirements for Server with 12 Processors

I need to upgrade to Windows OS 2008 R2 on our server that has 12 processors. Was told that this server has 2 physical CPUs and each CPUs has 6 cores. Want to confirm that all I need is 2 processor license for this server.
Can you please confirm this?
Thanks

Hello,
Windows Server 2008 R2 is not more available on the market. if you want to have Windows Server 2008 R2 than you purchase Windows Server 2012 R2 and downgrade to 2008 R2.
each Windows Server 2012 R2 license(Standard or datacenter) cover up to TWO processors. it means that for your Server with 2 physical CPUs you Need just one Windows Server 2012 R2 license.
for 2008 R2, on ly the datacenter Edition was licensed with CPUs. Minimum 2 CPU licenses for each datacenter Edition.
for Windows Server the number of cores does not change the
number of licenses required.
thanks

Licensing requirements for running SBS 2011 in Hyper-V

I am currently running SBS 2011 that is natively installed on a Dell PowerEdge server. The plan is to add some RAM and then convert the system to a Hyper-V server that would run the SBS operating system as a VM. From a licensing standpoint, I realize I will
need to purchase a copy of Server 2012 R2 Standard in order to run Hyper-V on the server. I believe I would also be licensed to run the SBS operating system as one of the two licensed VMs.
My question is what is the requirement as far as user CALs is concerned? Seeing as my users will continue to access the SBS server, they will never access the Server 2012 box directly. The only purpose for Server 2012 is to provide the Hyper-V host. So am
I bound by the user licensing of the SBS server, or am I required to also purchase user CALs for the Server 2012 platform?
Thanks for any insight on this question...

It is always best to talk with a trained Microsoft licensing specialist when asking about licensing questions. A license is a legal agreement between you and the license issuer. Relying on information from a technical forum on the internet would
not stand up in a court of law, and your auditors would not like that.
That said, a Windows Server CAL - Client Access License - covers access to Window Server(s). Whether you have 1 or 100 Windows Server, the client access license grants the right to access the services. Yes, they are operating system version specific,
but if you are running only the Hyper-V role in the host installation, no CALs are required for the host. If you are running other services that the clients are accessing, then you would need to purchase the 2012 CALs. Again - check with a trained
Microsoft licensing specialist.
