Which license type to buy?

Apologies in advance if this is not the appropriate forum for this question...
We have a number of iMacs and 2 Mac Pros, all running some revision level of Leopard. One Pro is running Mac OS X Server v10.5.5 Leopard, but we wish to make the other Pro an Xgrid controller, which means we must buy and install Server on it since our Server DVD was part of a hardware bundle that included the other Pro.
There seem to be two kinds of Server licenses, 10-client and Unlimited. I am confused about what these two kinds of licenses buy you.
1). Is the Client software that comes with Mac OS X Server different from other Mac OS X software?
2). If so, would an Xgrid client that wishes to submit a job to a controller need to be running the Client software that comes with Server, or can it be running any version of Mac OS X later than 10.4 (as the XGrid Admin guide says)?
3). If not, given that all of our Macs are already running Leopard, is there any reason why we might need the Unlimited version of the Server license?
4). Once again if there is no difference, is there any way to buy Mac OS X Server with a license for the server alone, i.e. with no client licenses?
These questions probably show how confused I am... please be gentle.
Thanks.

Hi Liz
As far as I know and explaining it simply a connection is made when a client connects to a share point to access data. Once the data has been accessed there is nothing stopping the client disconnecting thereby terminating the session. However most users (in my experience) don't work that way. They connect to a share point in the morning (at startup/login), access what they want and leave the connection idle until they need access again. In that sense the connection is permanent until the session is ended ie: the client shuts down or logs off. Clearly in a typical working day of 8 hours or so then connections are constantly ongoing. Multiply that by the amount of users and you know the rest.
You can configure the AFP Service to disconnect idle clients after a set time (there are further settings to exclude Administrators etc). This would free the Server to receive another connection. However for this to work effectively you would have to 'educate' your clients (if there were more than 10 for example) on how to access the server's resources and stay within the limitation of the license.
I'm not absolutely certain about XGrid because I don't think it follows the same restrictions. It's not that kind of connection. From what I can remember XGrid harnesses little or underused processing power locally in a concerted way at no extra expense. Effectively a kind of 'supercomputer' without having to go out and buy/build a dedicated one.
I don't think there is a 'hard limit' for XGrid? Leastways I can't find anything in the documentation that says there is? I have used it in a limited way for testing purposes. Thinking about it, it kind of defeats the whole purpose of XGrid if there is a limitation to the amount of CPUs that can be harnessed? I just don't think you can class a CPU the same way as a User.
Perhaps cross-posting on the XGrid forum might provide more answers?

Which license type do we need to buy, standard or professional?

We have been helping a customer to develop a web based system built around Flash media server.
For our work we have used the developer edition. Things are going well and now our customer is now looking to go live and so wants to purchase a full media server license, however we are not sure which particular license they should purchase, either Standard or Professional ?
From looking at the product specification it would appear standard would seem to be the one but we make use of action script to create custom “applications” on the FMS server, some of which are used to record the session and the specification about what is available in professional isn't totally clear.
Finally is possible to upgrade from standard to professional at a later date if we end up picking the wrong one by mistake?

Hello, you’d definitely need a Professional licence for these types of apps (provided you use custom Server-Side ActionScript code). To avoid an erroneous situation with the licence – Standard edition is good for streaming media to a whole plethora of devices, but it can’t store custom code, can’t record streams from Flash Player, and doesn’t support rtmfp connections (p2p commu8nication). For more info here is the comparison guide - http://www.adobe.com/products/adobe-media-server-family/buying-guide-comparison.html.

Under which license type are InDesign Script provided ?

Hi guys,
At work we use ID CS3. It comes with a script called "CropMarks". It's a great script but it doesn't really fit ours needs. I modifyed it (add bleed management & doesn't draw marks inside the selection) to fit ours wishes.
Some other people may need a such script so I wanted to give it for free.
I don't know where I can put a script (I mean online) and most importantly, I don't know if I'm allowed to do this. This is not a script I wrote from scratch, I modifyed a script shipped with ID.
So are those scripts under GNU license or anything. Must I give my script under a certain license ?
Thank you for your help !

Hi Loic,
You can distribute the script. You just can't claim it as your own--you might say something like:
//Created by Adobe Systems, Inc., modified by Loic TEIXEIRA
The original script shouldn't draw marks inside the selection unless you select the Each Object option. Have you seen cases where it does that?
Thanks,
Ole
Thanks to Harbs for bringing this question to my attention!

I am interested in buying a macbook laptop. I am confused however in which one I should buy for the type of work that I will be doing. I either am looking into getting a macbook pro or the macbook air. I am leaning more towards the air.

A basic MBA will be more than adequate. Take into consideration that storage may be a long term issue unless you are not averse to traveling with an external HDD.

Report generation for users having specific license type

Hi friends,
For my project purpose i have to generate report which has userId,License type of the user,corresponding composite role and single roles assigned to the user and transaction code.
I can get the report for user and license type from USR06 and roles,transaction from SUIM.
But I need a combined report of this. Is there any transaction code which helps me in doing this.Please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
With kind regards
Karthick

> For my project purpose i have to generate report which has

License type of the user, TCode: USMM
corresponding composite role and single roles assigned to the user and transaction code.
1. Table: AGR_USERS, AGR_TCODES / USR08
2. SUIM -> a) Users by Complex selection criteria -> Execute -> Click on Roles => Full list of Roles per user.
-> b) Transaction -> Executable for users (all selection option)

1. As mentioned by Saby: use TCode SQV1 to map all the tables with a meaningful "foreign key".
2. Download all Table contents and map them in excel by using functions.

Which licenses do I need for the Enterprise Portal from Dynamics AX R2 2012

Dear Community,
some time ago i heard about the Enterprise Portal, which requires a SharePoint 2013 and a Dynamics AX R2 2012 Server.
My company has a fully licensed SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Server and enough CALs. We also have a Dynamics AX 2009 Server running.
Now to my question: What licenses are needed to get a Enterprise Portal with Dynamics AX 2012?
Thanks for your responses.
Sincerely ShareBear9280

Hi ShareBear,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to know which licenses needed for the Enterprise Portal from Dynamics AX 2012 R2.
There are 4 types of user CALs in Dynamics AX 2012 R2 - Enterprise, Functional, Task, and Self Serve. The number of CALs needed is related to who these users are and what they do.
More information, please refer to the link:
http://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/33/t/114710.aspx
For this issue, I recommend you can post your question to the forum for Microsoft Dynamics AX:
http://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/33.aspx .More experts will assist you, then you will get more information relation to Microsoft Dynamics AX.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Thanks,
Wendy

Which License is good OEM, OLP or Volume Licensing for small company

Dear Admins,
Actually I am setting up a lab for a small company with 25 users. Confused which license to purchase. Vendor sent us quotation in which he mentions we have to purchase "HP Server DL-380 -G8 Intel Xeon 2.5GHZ " in order to install windows server
2008 R2 OEM Edition CD. Actually I just want to know. Can't we purchase a assembled computer/Machine and purchase Windows Server 2008 R2 OEM CD for successful implementation?. Now, My question to you is. What is this OLP and OEM. Does OLP mean
we can install Windows Server in assemebled computer or machine and OEM means only dedicate company machine is capable to install OEM edition, Just confused, Please let me know. It is just a small company with 25 users. What do you recommend. Thank you for
your support.
Best Regards,
Fahad Ahmed.

Hi Fahad,
Couple of things to remember as well
OEM licences comes with the machine probably you have seen laptops and desktop has a windows key sticker that's an OEM license. Only limitation with OEM is you can't use OEM license anywhere else then the machine you have bought it with. If an OEM license
machine dies license will die as well.
With volume license you have the freedom to move around the license. If you have only one license on one machine at one time.
Also when you buy a windows server license it comes with 5 user CALs. So that's why you have to buy 20 more.
Now if you want to know what are the CALs, so CAL is a Client Access License require for a
user/device to access windows server. For example if you have a user and he wants to access share files or printer from the server you will require a user CAL. So if 25 users will access the Server you will require 25 CALs.
Best thing to do is to speak with your account Manager from Dell or HP regarding the license side as normally they are really good in helping.
Hope this helps :)

License Type (Standard /NetWeaver)

We are requesting the Product License Key of mySAP ERP 2005 ECC 6 with the SAP Kernel Release 7, Database is MS-SQL 2005 and Windows Server 2003 64 bit.
When we are registering our Product on OSS Portal to request the Product License Key with the SAP Kernel 7 & selecting the Standard License, I am receiving the Product Key with the License Type NetWeaver but I had been selecting the Standard License. Product Key with the License Type NetWeaver is not accepting during the license installation.
Then I do request the additional Product Key with the SAP Kernel Release 6.40 (not our kernel version) with the License Type Standard which is generating the Standard License key and has been installed successfully.
SAP Kernel Release 7, which is our version, Product Key has been generating with the NetWeaver License Type is not able to install in the System.
SAP Kernel Release 6.40, which is not our version, Product Key has been generating with the Standard License Type and has been installed successfully.
We are using ERP 2005 ECC6 which is NetWeaver based might be problem in future,
Does NetWeaver component could be disabled ?
Does NetWeaver Component might not be ADD-ON ?
Does Patches might not be installed successfully ?
I have been obtained the Kernel information from System menu Status.Other Kernel Info where kernel and other information are displaying.

Maintenance Certificate missed in license type

Hello everyone,
We are in the middle of the upgrade to our BW landscape from 3.5 to 7.01. After I upgraded our BWT system today and ready to apply support packages, as usual I go to apply maintenace certificate according to SAP's instruction on "How to Request a Maintenace Certificate manually through SAP support Portal". I found NO "maintenance certificate" under license type, only have "standard and Java" license type. It is very strange since I just applied "maintenance cerfiticate" on 5/15/2009 when I update support package for my BW sandbox (BWS)! Not sure why it is no longer there? Have you guys experience the same? And how can I get my maintenance certificate for my BWT system so I can move forward with my support package update?
Thanks for your help. This is very important since our upgrade is stopped now.
Yujun Ran

Hi,
What kesavan has mentioned above is perfect for manually applying the Maintainance certificates.
These certificates can be made to automatically distribute across the systems in the landscape.
refer to the below FAQ, and also to the below notes;
Note 1280664 - Distribution of maintenance certificates: Troubleshooting
When will a Maintenance Certificate be required by SAP's software logistics tools?*
Maintenance Certificate will be required for all customers as of January '09.
Details:
As of SPAM/SAINT- version 0034 the Maintenance Certificate will be required to import support packages. SPAM/SAINT- version 0034 will be released in January u201909.
All support packages released in 2008 can be applied using a SPAM/SAINT- version prior to version 0034 and therefore do not require a Maintenance Certificate. Hence, when using SPAM/SAINT- version 0034 or higher version, all support packages require a valid Maintenance Certificate in order to be imported.
Java support packages (imported using JSPM) will require a Maintenance Certificate in the near future. Currently a warning is displayed.
Which version of SAP Solution Manager will be required to benefit from automatic deployment of Maintenance Certificates?
SAP Solution Manager 7.0 SP 16 will be required to benefit from automatic deployment.

Ravi

Single document release - License type

Dear all,
We are facing an issue, when rechecking the old import documents which are assigned with License (Created with license type - single document release) are getting legal control block now. The license is not getting recognized for the document.
Before rechecking, the documents were not under any legal control block and the licenses (Single document release - license type) were recognized. What would be the reason behind this? What are the settings to be done specific to single document release- license types?
Kindly share your comments.
Thanks in advace!

Hi Balu,
It also depends on what option was selected when you had manually assigned the licenses to the documents in the past. If it had been B1 System, Manually changed, Cannot be changed by system. This wouldn't have happened.
Now as Aman said, you will have to reassign the licenses to those documents.
I personally feel there is a drawback for Purchase orders in terms of recheck.
Basically a document becomes not valid for re-check or re-determination based on following criteria
1) If its a sales order item- As soon as the order is delivered, the sales order becomes not relevant for check. Which makes sense as the subsequent document is generated. If you check the log, it would say Items not relevant for check.
2) If its an outbound delivery item- As soon as the delivery is PGI'd, it becomes not relevant for check.
3) But for Purchase order- The criteria is set as deletion indicator- Which means, a PO item is relevant for re-check in GTS unless and until it is deleted. Even if a delivery is generated for a STO line item, the PO item is considered as relevant for re-check. This had bitten me in the past.
If you don't remember the manual assignment option selected. Can you check the control settings for Legal control- your legal regulation and see what's set for Manual assignment default. If it's not B1, you may consider changing it.

License Types in license determination.

Hi Experts,
I have some doubts on License or legal cotrol (Export/Imports).
1. Can any one give me some examples of license types.
2. Which type of products required licenses and
3. what are the different types of license available for exports to US. and Exporting From U.S to E.U or Other countries.
Please help on this questions .
Appreciate for helpful answer.
Thanks & Regads,
Hari.

Hi Hari,
That’s a question, I was now expecting from you.
Specifically, In US Scenario, we have two kinds of licenses to be obtained from Federal Department of Commerce. These are broadly classified as General Licenses and Validated Licenses.
1. General Licenses:- This is a class of licenses, which can be used by the concerned party directly without any approval from the Government Authorities as soon as its fits a scenario like for the case of License Type EXCPT—License Exception.
2. Validated License Types: - This is class of License which requires prior Approval from the Government Authorities as soon as its fits a scenario like for the case of License Type VL, IVL , IVLP, DSP5 etc.
In this case, there is a further classification as follows:-
VL-->Validated License Type. This is for the above mentioned conditions but without any specific case.
IVL--> Individual Validated License Type. This is again with the above mentioned case but for a specific quantity of a particular product.
IVLP-->Individual Validated License Type (Partner Specific). This is again with the above mentioned case but for a specific quantity of a particular product and for a specific partner involved.
DSP5 etc.--> DSP-5 Application /License for Permanent Export of Unclassified Defense articles and related unclassified data. These classes of License types are specifically to adhere to the ITAR regulation of US Government to ensure movement of Dual use and Defense Articles.
I hope it was the required thing as asked by you.

Aman

Dear Sirs...
i am facing a problem of what license should i buy.
i would like to use oracle financials for example... as far as i know i can buy the financials license only if and only if i am installing this application on one server, so i should buy:
oracle financial user licenses
now if i want to use clustering on the financials (for 2 servers each with one cpu), then i should buy the license of:
oracle financial user licenses
oracle database server license x 2
oracle clustering license x 2
my question now is:
if i am installing financials on a server with 4 cpus, then the license that i will buy will be
oracle financial user licenses
is this correct???? or not?
please where can i find such oracle license details?
thanks for any help in advance

Dear Sir...

2- 10% of the 200 users =20 x 4 cpus = 80 user license, or
3- 200 user license, or
4- 200 x 4 = 800 user license ?
it is supposed i should buy 10% of the 200 users = 20 user license, but i am getting confused because terms of named user plus and cpu license.
is there anyone who can conform which one is correct?

Provisioning license type to ABAP target systems

Hello there,
I've checked the configuration guide and it seems like there is no official support for the provisioning of license type to users in ABAP target systems. However, the BAPI BAPI_USER_CREATE1 which I believe is the one called by the java connector does support it, so is there a way to make this work?
Best regards,
Anders

I am going to college this fall and can't decide which MacBook pro to buy!

I am going to college this fall and can't decide which MacBook pro to buy the 13in or the 15in. Mainly to type, browse the web, watch videos, and maybe some light gaming. I am worried that the 15in might be too big to carry around all the time. And worried about the 13in being too small and hurting my eyes over time. Once I do get one, I am most likely going to use it for the full 4 years. Please Help !

The 13" will do the trick for what you describe as your needs, Be sure to consider how you will backup your data -- need an external drive?
Also be sure to check with your college or division of study to see what they recommend. If they are hostile to Macs, you may be on your own for finding support. But in most major cities, that will not be too hard.

SE and Which license do I need?

Single Edition
I understand I can buy more than 1 SE license.
This allows me to submit to iTunes?
Is this then available on Apple News Stand?
If not why do I need to submit it to iTunes?
Which license do I need?
I'm looking to create publications for no more than 5 clients, each would have a quartly publication. Making that a total of 20 publcations.
I'll also have clients that may want a one off publication.
In total all publications will not have more than 6,000 downloads.
They would need to be available for either free or paid perhaps even a subscription in Apple's News Stand.
Would I need a Apple dev paid membership for this?
Am I correct in thinking that if there were 6,000 downloads in total, the cost would be $0.30 X 6,000 = $1,800?
If the same account holder downloads the same publication multiple times is there a charge everytime?
Thanks

Newsstand requires a subscription which eliminates Single Edition.
Single Edition apps will appear in the app store only.
AFAIK, if you want to act as an agency you’re going to need to contact Adobe and I do not believe they’re going to say yes without a compelling reason.
Each of those clients will need their own Apple account and Adobe account if they want to do subscriptions.
The other thought is to simply produce single editions and pull the old versions quarterly.
