Weblogic 81 scale limited license questions

Hi,
Is a scale limited license for SP2 compatible with SP3?
Also, the scale limited license "enables you to run a single WebLogic Server instance with a server capacity limited to approximately 3 percent of the full capacity of a production server."
How is the "full capacity of a production server" measured? Is it relative to the machine on which WL is being run, or measured against some "standard" value?
Thanks!

Scale-limited License and Cluster Testing

To Whom It May Concern:
I'm in the process of installing WLS 8.1 SP4 on 4 machines to try to learn how to setup a cluster. I'm using the installation CD that I received from the System Administration class. I realize that this CD installs BEA with a Scale-limited license.
I'm a little confused over the capibility of this license. Here's how your documentation describes it:
"Enables you to run a single WebLogic Server instance with a server capacity limited to approximately 3 percent of the full capacity of a production server with a production license. Restricts server capacity by limiting concurrent socket connections to a maximum of three connections. Requests for a fourth socket connection are blocked until a socket becomes free."
What confuses me is where it says a "single" server. Does this mean that I can't test clustering across multiple machines or does this mean that I can only run 1 instance of WLS on any machine? I understand the limitations concerning capacity and connections, that's understandable... I have no intention of running anything "production" wise with this license, I just want to become use to being an administrator... I recall in the class that we could've (we ended up not) clustered to another users machine, so I figured I could do this... Please help. Thanks :)

          You don't need any special cluster license. You can use default one.
          Remember only about 5 connections limitation per single server.

SBO 8.8 Can two LImited Licenses (Eg.. Financials + CRM) be assigned to one

I have confirmed by testing that it is possible to assign two different limited licenses to one user.
In a limited test (COA Edit + Quotations Entry) I have established that the combined functionality is available.
Question - is this supported by SAP?
I realise that it might make more sense to upgrade the two licenses to one Pro.

Hi,
you can read license guide pdf file to know more detail about all licenses type.
you can also read license comparison chart to know the detail authorization of license.
As long as it can work, you can use it. SAP support license type authorization.

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.

WS2012R2 Licensing Question - 95% confident of my understanding, but would appreciate confirmation

After a huge amount of research, I THINK I understand how WS2012R2 licensing works.
Since we’re a new business, we’re keeping things pretty simple for the time being. I would appreciate some confirmation that my understanding of licensing makes sense though.
I first describe our architecture, then the four options, and then my understanding of the four options.
Many many thanks in advance; this forum has been incredibly helpful as I get started with these issues.
Machine 1 @ Site 1:
OS: WS2012R2 (operating at hypervisor only)
VM1: WS2012R2 (operating as remote desktop session host)
VM2: WS2012R2 (operating as remote desktop connection broker and remote desktop licensing server)
Machine 2 @ Site 1:
OS: WS2012R2 (operating as hypervisor only)
VM1: WS2012R2 (operating as server for electronic medical record software)
VM2: WS2012R2 (operating as domain controller, DNS server, and DHCP server)
Machine 3 @ Site 1:
OS: WS2012R2 or HVS2012R2 (operating as hypervisor only)
Machine1-VM1: replicated here using Hyper-V Replica; not running.
Machine1-VM2: replicated here using Hyper-V Replica; not running.
Machine2-VM1: replicated here using Hyper-V Replica; not running.
Machine2-VM2: replicated here using Hyper-V Replica; not running.
Machine 4 @ Site 2:
OS: WS2012R2 (operating at hypervisor only)
VM1: WS2012R2 (operating as remote desktop session host for remote users)
VM2: WS2012R2 (operating as remote desktop web access and remote desktop gateway)
Machine 5 @ Site 2:
OS: WS2012R2 or HVS2012R2 (operating as hypervisor only)
Machine4-VM1: replicated here using Hyper-V Replica; not running.
Machine4-VM2: replicated here using Hyper-V Replica; not running.
We've identified the following four options:
Option 1:
Primary Machines 1, 2,4 = WS2012R2 Standard OEM Edition
Backup Machines 3 and 5 = HVS2012R2 Edition
Option 2:
Primary Machines 1, 2,4 = WS2012R2 Standard Open License Edition
Backup Machines 3 and 5 = HVS2012R2 Edition
Option 3:
Primary Machines 1, 2,4 = WS2012R2 Standard OEM Edition
Backup Machines 3 and 5 = WS2012R2 Standard OEM Edition
Option 4:
Primary Machines 1, 2,4 = WS2012R2 Standard Open License Edition
Backup Machines 3 and 5 = WS2012R2 Standard Open License Edition
My understanding is as follows:
Option 1 is flawed because we would not be able to boot up the VMs on machines 3 and 5. This is because a standard OEM edition license cannot be transferred, and so in the event of hardware failure, the license stays with the primary machine and cannot
be moved to the backup machine.
Option 2 is somewhat flawed due to the 90 day limit on transferring licenses. For example, say Machine 1 fails, and I transfer the VMs and the license to Machine 3. That step is permitted, however, I cannot reverse this transfer for 90 days
which is obviously suboptimal since Machine 3 is intended to be a temporary backup machine.
Option 3 is sufficient for my needs, subject to the only caveat that I understand that these OEM licenses are "locked" to the physical machine and cannot be transferred to another physical machine. There are NO other limitations (e.g. I
would be able to legally and practically migrate a VM from Machine 1 to Machine 3 without worrying about activation issues, etc...)
Option 4 is sufficient for my needs, and would be the most flexible as the licenses could be moved if necessary down the road.

As has been stated many times in this forum, it is best to talk to a trained Microsoft licensing specialist about licensing questions. Remember that a license is a legal contract between you and Microsoft, and using a forum for legal advice is a tad
risky. Free advice is worth every penny. www.microsoft.com/licensing.
That said, non-OEM licenses will always give you the most flexibility. Secondly, you can get a volume license discount with as few as five copies of software, so you might want to investigate that. Volume contracts provide additional benefits
outside of the what you get with the licenses. Lastly, ensure that you have enough licenses to host the maximum number of VMs that will ever be running on a given host. Hint, you mention Standard on a host that is a replica for four VMs.
If all four of those VMs are running, you would need a minimum of two Standard licenses assigned to that host.

Create time-limited license for my application

Hi,
I have created an application for my client, but i would like to add in a function below into my software for license renew.
For example, after the application is used in a PC for one year, it will be locked and will ask user to renew the license, to activate the application again.
Is there anyway can create the time-limited license for my application?
My application is developed by LV 8.5.1.
I am appreciated for your feedback.
Thanks.

The Third Party Licensing & Activation Toolkit will do what you want, but you need LabVIEW 2010 or later.
There was even a NI-Week presentation: NIWeek Session: Creating a Software Evaluation for your Product in 10 minutes
Still, I agree with Norbert that an expiring licens is a very dumb idea. What if you go out of business? What if you are on vacation while their license expires? What is the system is on a space flight to Mars?
I would never install software that expires, because if it cannot be guaranteed that it will run a year from now I might as well not use it at all. If NI would do the same, your LabVIEW 8.5 would have stopped working long ago.
If you want to ensure that users upgrade to a new version, make sure to add new and exciting features. Offer service subscriptions, etc.

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.

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?

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.

Personal 8i 8.1.6 Download - Limited License/Installation

Does the Personal 8i 8.1.6 version downloaded from OTN have a limited license such as operational only for sixty days or some other such limitation?
Also, what would I have to do to install it over a previous version of Personal 8i?
Thanks!

The download comes with an OTN Licence, which you have to agree to when you download it. The versions you download are full featured and are not time restricted.
For upgrade issues read the installation manual and the migration manual (both probably available in your download, otherwise try technet)

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.

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.

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.

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
