Will the hardware key be changed?

Dear All,
In a Server SBO 2005 B is installed. Now if I uninstall it and freshly install SBO 2007 B will the hardware key be changed?

Hi,
I always go for complete 2005 uninstall and a brand new 2007 installation.
I never had a change in the hardware key, but hey, you never know with computers, and you don't want to be stuck just because you can't request a new key, correct?
Cheers

Retriving the Hardware key in SAP EP 7.0

Hi Experts,
I have installed EP 7.0 in Dev server. I need to retrive the hardware key from Portal so that I can publish
the same to SAP and get the license key.
Please let me know the path in portal where I can find the hardware key.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Since you are on NW 7.0 you will have to visual administrator to retrieve the h/w key. On how to do it, use this sap help link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/9f/5e533e5ff4d064e10000000a114084/content.htm
If you just wanna get your h/w key, you can also log-in to the o/s level using <sid>adm & use the command:
"saplicense - get"

Hello,
I'm trying to run SAP NetWeaver 7.0 - Java and ABAP Trial Version on Linux - VMware Edition
but I still have a issue to log on, message : "error in license check"
I try everything I found in forums, I have tested the license, see the trace below.
I checked too files dev_w*
It seems there is a problem with server message

Hi,
As you are running a Trial version, I do not think HA/ASCS would be relevant for you.
As you found in the dev_ms trace, the port 3601 for message server is not accessible:
NiIGetServName: port 0E.11/3601 = servicename 'sapmsN4S'
***LOG Q0I=> NiPConnect2: connect (111: Connection refused) http://nixxi.cpp 2769
ERROR => NiPConnect2: SiPeekPendConn failed for hdl 0 / sock 4
Check via command netstat if the port 3601 is free for use. The hardware key is obtained from message server and since this port is not available, neither is the message server/the hardware key. Perhaps a VM restart could also help.

Srikishan

How to stop the option key from changing tools when trying to subtract from a selection?

How to stop the option key from changing my tools when I am trying to subtract from a selection?
I'm running CS3 on Mac OS Leopard, and the automatic tool switching slows me down, but even preferences doesn't show a way to turn this off.
Thanks for your help.

With any marquee tool, JUST holding down the option key should not switch tools. You need to explain the problem much more carefully, It's completely impossible to tell from your description whats going wrong.
automatic tool switching
The only preference related to this, is to do with the SHIFT KEY - "use Shift key for tool switch".

I installed windows 8 using bootcamp, and realized that i put too little space. If i erase the windows partition and do it all over again, will the product key i used to activate windows 8 the first time still work? Or is there a way to expand it?

Will the product key i used still work again after reinstalling? Is there any SAFE way to expand the bootcamp partition size?

If you look in your other posting you will see that I already gave you the answer.

How do I correct the arrow keys to change from lower case to higher case

The arrow , shift key, will not allow me to change from upper to lower case letters when in I Tunes. the arrow keys seem to work in every other application. I cannot properly enter a password to enter I Tunes. I reset the password from my note book and the password works. only the I pad and I tunes are giving me fits.
charliecache

the pop-up box comes up just as you said. i then type in the corrected artist's name. i click 'ok', expecting the updated info to appear on the main iTunes library list
As you have discovered, changing the info on the CD after you have RIP'd it will not change any of teh songs you RIP'd.
If you select the CD in iTunes and update the info before you RIP the songs, they will go into iTunes with this new info.
In addition, the CD will display this info if/when you reinsert it into this computer.
If you only change the RIP'd songs in iTunes, they will display the updated info but if you reinsert the CD, it will display the previous info.
Best way to do it is to rename the files on the CD before you RIP.

Change in hardware key on new installation with same SID

Dear Experts,
Background:
We installed SAP Netweaver 7.3 EHP1 on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and applied SAP License on it.
So there was a specific SID, Hardware key and Installation No to our installation.
After few months our Server machine got crashed and we formatted it.
Problem:
Now we want to install SAP Netweaver 7.3 EHP1 again on same Server machine.
Here question is:
1. Will the Hardware Key be same if I install SAP Netweaver 7.3 EHP1 with the same SID as it was before ?
Note: We want to apply the same license that was there before the crash. But we can apply same license if and only if after installing with same SID as before, system generates the same Hardware Key as before Crash !!
Other Information:
Information that we got from SAP Note (94998 - Requesting license keys and deleting systems ) that :
" For the following data changes, you require a new license key:
Customer hardware key - database - installation number - system ID.
Thanks in advance for your apt responses.
Muddassar Khan

Hi Muddassar,
With OS reinstallation , the HW Key will change.
I suggest you apply for a new License with the new Hardware Key.
Was this a Test System??
You said after few Months , the system Crashed.
Have you taken a Backup (Windows System State) ??

Hardware Key Information??

Hello All,
On what hardware change SAP Hardware Key depends??Does it depend on RAM,CPU or Motherboard??Which hardware component change will change my hardware key??

but no where it is written that whether my hardware key changes on changing CPU,RAM??
Quote from SAP Note 174911
On HP UX, AIX, Solaris, and Reliant systems, functions of the operating system are used to determine the hardware key. As a result, the relevant operating system defines how this hardware key is determined.
The hardware key on True64 (formerly DEC UNIX, previously OSF/1) and Linux changes if the computer's network card is replaced. For computers with several network cards, a change in the sequence of cards may change the hardware key. The operating system may randomly switch the internal sequence of the network cards (this has, however, not yet been observed).
Only Windows uses a hardware key that does NOT depend on the hardware. A new installation of Windows definitely causes the hardware key to change.
On OS/390 or z/OS, the key changes when a hardware upgrade is carried out; micro code upgrades may also lead to a new hardware key
I believe that answer your question in detail
I have found in most threads that you try to humiliate others please stop this because you may be expert but not god
This is unfounded, I always post based on my best intention to help... Also is part of my job to keep the forum clean and persuade others to follow the rules.

Need Help on How to Change The Encryption Key and or Change security settings

Hello, i just installed the wireless router and i would like to know how i can change the encryption key or change the security settings (i want it so you do not have to answer it with a password). Thank you in advance.
Message Edited by DARK_MARIO on 01-06-200706:10 PM

Hi…
In order to change the wireless settings of your router you need to login into the router configuration page. Open your internet explorer browser…in the address bar type http://192.168.1.1 ( Default IP address). Leave the username field balnk……type admin as password (If you have not changed the router password). When the setup page loads fully…..click on the tab that says wireless. Just below the main tab wireless ….click on the sub tab that says wireless security. You can Change the wireless security settings here. After the changes are made click on save settings.

How can I use the enter key instead of tab to change field focus?

I am using Acrobat 9 Pro.
We have a fillable PDF where the users enter numbers into fields. They want to be able to use the <enter> key on the 10-key pad instead of the <tab> key on the keyboard to move the focus to the next data entry field.
How can I set my PDF so that it recognizes the <enter> key instead of the <tab> key for changing focus?
Thanks!

You can use a custom Keystroke script, something like:
// Custom Keystroke script for text field
if (event.willCommit && event.commitKey === 2) {
getField("Text2").setFocus();
Where "Text2" is the name of the next field. This doesn't disable the Tab key though. For more information, see: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.608.html

License/Hardware Key for multihomed Development-Laptop

On my laptop I've installed an licensed a WebAS for development with NWDS. I use the laptop on different networks (different fixed IP's or no network at all). I've noticed that this somehow changes the HardwareKey and thus requires multiple licensed for the same installation.
On the other side we have an installation using DHCP and the HardwareKey does not change.
What aspects (IP, MAC, ProcessorID, RAM, Disk,...) are taken into account for generating the HardwareKey of a J2EE-WebAS?

Take a look at SAP Note 793649 and 174911.
There you will something like that.
"Einzig auf Windows wird ein Schlüssel genommen, der NICHT von der Hardware abhängt. Eine Neuinstalltion von Windows führt definitiv dazu, dass der Hardwareschlüssel ungültig wird."
And a list of actions who change the HardwareKey. (793649)
The following actions will change the Hardware Key:
1. Formatting the machine and reinstalling Windows.
2. When changing the computer name.
3. When changing the domain (it will not change back when returning to the previous domain).
4. On Linux - If you change the network card.
The following actions will NOT change the Hardware Key:
1. When adding a login user for the computer.
2. When changing date/time on the computer.
3. When changing the IP.
4. When adding a memory or hard drive to the computer.
If you encounter any other scenario that changes the hardware key,

SOS! The database does not start and the license key can not be installed.

Hi,
I have installed the SAP Netweaver 200s testdrive on linux x86-64. I have got the hardware key and requested a license key. I have received an E-mail with the license key (N4S.txt) attached.
Unfortunately, I am not able to active the installation with this license.
I always get the error: "open of N4S.txt failed: No such file or directory"
I have renamed the license as N4S.rpm but it still not working.
Furthermore, I could not start the database in the previous step. I have got the error: Database failed to start.
Does anyone already have the same errors? Your help will be so greatful.
Thank you.
Jodie

Hello,
yesterday, I have tried your propositions but nothing doesn´t change.
@Joe
"You might want to check installation log files.."
I do it but I did not see any error.
@Marcel
"Which Linux distro did you use?..."
I have the linux Opensuse 11.1
@Hannes
"you mentioned, that you are not able to start the database. Unfortunately, your error message
does not give us any details of what happened"
I follow the Installation´s help file of SAP, I didn´t have any error before this step of the Installation (Start the Database: entering the command startdb).
1) did the installation finish successfully?
Until the request of the License key, the installation goes without errors.
2) logon as n4sadm (su - n4sadm) and execute: startsap n4shost
What is the output?
"No start profiles found"
3) check /home/n4sadm/startdb.log (or any other start*log files there)
This is the content of the startdb.log file:
