Windows 7 Licensing Question

I have a Macbook Air 2009 and I'm hoping to get the new 12 core Mac Pro 2010 when it arrives next week. I would like to Bootcamp to Windows 7 Home Premium on both machines and my question is what version to I need to get from Newegg.com? Do I need two discs or can I Bootcamp onto two machines with one license? Will 64-Bit versions work best on both machines? I would greatly appreciate some guidance on this issue... Thanks!

You only need one disc to install, but as to licenses, for Windows LEGALLY it's one license per machine, which means you may need two, or a multiple-license pack.
However, I have seen a license used on two or three computers on the same network with no problem. I wouldn't be sure though.
The licenses shouldn't affect installation though, since I'm pretty sure you enter the key after installation, not before. If a key isn't entered you have thirty days worth of trial.
64-bit is probably a good choice for the Mac Pro, I'm not sure about the Macbook Air, better ask someone else on that.

Windows 8.1 pre-installed , your windows license will expire soon?!?!

I just updated my Windows today when they prompted and asked me to update it and restart the laptop. After updating and restarting, the laptop suddenly notifies me that my windows license will expire soon and I will need to activate it in the pcsettings.
It then brings me to a page with two choices, activate windows online or enter new product key. I tried both options but the first one won't work and the second one requires a product key which I have no idea what it is. When I look at my system information, it says that my windows 8.1 is activated.
By the way, my windows 8 is pre-installed on the laptop. Please help, I am a complete newbie in the technology field!

Novice window/View question (fixed) -- please comment on code

(fixed this to look right, thanks for the posting tip)
Hey, I am using the iPhone SDK, and this is my first non-licensing question, which means it's going to be a very basic one.
I'm able to start a project, using a ViewController template, edit the XIB file, and then have those controls show up. I'm able to create outlets and inlets and handle user input and output to those controls, all well and good.
Where I'm getting hung up is when I want more than one view. I've read the "how to use the ViewController" documentation, which is more like a "how to" guide for specific subclasses.
All I want to do, for now, is to create two views and swap back and forth between two views. My strategy was to create a parent view (just a container), then create two viewcontrollers (with their views) and then set both their views to the addSubView function of my parent view. Then I was going to use the bringSubviewToFront method to swap between the two, if all goes well then using different animations.
So I did the below in my DidFinishLaunching event handler. All I get is a white screen. Can someone correct my code below, given the intent above? I would learn a TON from the answer, I'd be on my way.
Thanks very much in advance.
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
UIView *v = [UIView alloc];
m_pParentView = v; // declared in class interface as UIView *m_pParentView;
ViewCtrlSub1 *vcs1 = [ViewCtrlSub1 alloc];
[vcs1 initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[m_pParentView addSubview: vcs1.view];
ViewCtrlSub2 *vcs2 = [ViewCtrlSub2 alloc];
[vcs2 initWithNibName:nil@ bundle:nil];
[m_pParentView addSubview: vcs2.view];
[window addSubview: m_pParentView];
[m_pParentView bringSubviewToFront:vcs1.view];
// Override point for customization after application launch
[window makeKeyAndVisible];

The Utility template makes two content views that transition with the "flip" view animation. The root view is only used to position the Info style button on the main view. I.e. the root view itself is never visible. I didn't mean to imply that template provided the UI skeleton you were looking for, since you didn't describe what you're looking for. But the toggleView method in RootViewController.m is a good example of how to transition between two views without using a tab or nav view controller (since I assumed that was what you were trying to learn).
If you're still in the dark after studying and playing with the Utility template, the place to go is Chaper 6 of +Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK+ by Mark and LaMarche. In my opinion it's almost self destructive to try and learn iPhone programming without that book.
If you describe the view structure you want, I can give you some more hints, but you won't learn much by just pasting in a code sample.

I have CS4 on a PC. I have bought a new MAC. How do I install my CS4 on the MAC- it seems this is a windows license.

I have CS4 on a PC. I have bought a new MAC. How do I install my CS4 on the MAC- it seems this is a windows license.

The license is only good for Windows and is too old to qualify for a platform swap. The only option you might have is to install Windows emulation software on the Mac and install CS4 thru that.

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.

Exchanging Windows License for OS-X

If you read the Adobe Flex Upgrade FAQ you'll find a section
that seems to infer how easy it is to exchange your Windows License
for a OSX license.
"Just call customer service to arrange for a new download and
serial number" is the message.
Right....
Below is my response to a Customer Service Representative
after spending over 2 hours trying to exchange my license. Now they
won't process my request because my current Signature on File isn't
legally binding for the Letter of Destruction I had to fill out and
send in.
Good Luck for everyone else. Hopefully your experience goes
better than mine
Hi Kendall,
I'll happily do that, but the line about not being
able to help me because you lack my signature for
legal purposes is kind of stale. Our courts ruled that
a person electronic intent can suffice as long as it
can be proven to be willfully given.
Additionally, The Flex team really needs to update the
FAQ about contacting customer service and arranging
for a download to exchange your Windows license for a
OSX license. They make it sound so simple.
My experience so far has been anything but.
The first person in customer service didn't know how
to help me do this so they transferred me to sales to
see if they could help. They couldn't either so they
sent me back to customer service
The next person couldn't help either so they
transferred me to group/corporate licensing to inquire
about switching. They couldn't help me directly but
told me to recontact customer service and tell them I
wanted to return/destroy my current copy of flex which
should trigger their call center script to inquire if
I wanted to to transfer or reassign my license.
Finally located someone who could help me, they gave
me a case number and told me to search the Adobe
website for Letter of Discontinuation and to fill it
out and email it back in. "Be sure to include your
case number so they know we've authorized you to do
this" was the warning.
Couldn't find the letter anywhere on the website so I
had to call back and get a representative who told me
to search for Letter of Destruction but to use "LOD"
since the former didn't seem to work. Once I did that
he told me to choose the 4th item display on your
search results because the search result title was
labled "Customer Service" which didn't really do a
good job of communicating "This is the Letter of
Destruction you are looking for."
By the way he warned, it would likely take 2 weeks to
process the request so don't expect to be installing
Flex Builder 2 tomorrow. Instead plan on installing
the 30 day demo of Flex Builder and hopefully we can
get you a replacement serial number by then. No word
as to what happens if you don't and my development
comes to a grinding halt.
None of this has been easy, nor convienent, and I've
got almost 2 hours of hold time just to get this far
only to be told I have to go find a fax machine and
send this in because my legal intent isn't clear to
the fine folks at Adobe.
I left as a long time Microsoft developer to come to
Adobe Products because the bueacracy and indifference
of Microsoft became unbearable. (The first 15 years
wasn't so bad but the last 2 have been miserable.)
I'm really disappointed that something as seemingly
simple as arranging to get me a new serial number so I
can move to OSX from Windows has turned into such a
time waster for me.
So I'll happily comply with your request, after all
you are calling the shots. Perhap you could consider
showing this email to your management team and ask
them to think if there might be a better way to get
this done?
Something that closer matches what the FAQ pomises
would be nice because your ex-microsoft-new adobe
customer is really frustrated.
Regards,
Larry

Windows License to Mac?

I currently have a Windows License for the Creative Suite 5.5 but am most likely upgrading to a Mac for univesity studies. Is there any way I can switch my license to a Mac? If not what are my options if there are any that don't require me having to buy the full suite again for Mac.
Thanks

You buy a CS6 upgrade and make the switch:
Order an Adobe product platform swap or language swap
Though if you are still a student, it could be considered a moot point - buying an S&T version again would still be cheaper than the comemrcial upgrade...

MacBook / Leopard license question .

My Windows laptop has recently failed and I am considering replacing it with a MacBook .
If I buy a MacBook in a few weeks/months with Leopard installed on it , can I install that copy of Leopard on my Mac Mini ? Would I / Could I be able to upgrade the license of the copy of Leopard included with the MacBook to a 'Family' version ? Or will I have to buy a stand alone ( upgrade ? ) copy of Leopard for the MacMini alone .
Should I buy a MacBook now , and then buy one upgrade copy of Leopard , with a 'Family' license and upgrade both , will this be a cheaper option ?
If anybody can help me decide what the best solution is , I'd be really grateful .

The original poster was just asking if they can install their copy of Leopard that comes with their MacBook (if they wait until Leopard comes out) on their mini... There's no reason to assume everyone is familiar with product licensing. The fact that they asked... and followed up asking about getting a family license would seem to indicate they want to do the right thing.
If you decide to wait for Leopard to purchase your MacBook, you are not authorized to install the copy of Leopard supplied with the MacBook on your Mini.
It's not clear exactly when Leopard will be released. If you are looking to purchase a MacBook soon, you can always purchase the family version of Leopard when it is released.
So far as the cheapest way to get Leopard on both your Mini and your MacBook... As Apple will likely charge the same for Leopard as the current price for Tiger (although they have not announced pricing), that would be $129 for a single user license and $199 for up to a license for up to 5 users (which is an insanely good deal when compared to Windows licensing). The cheapest thing to do would be to wait until Leopard is released so it would come preinstalled on the MacBook and you could buy a single user copy for $129 for your Mini. I've never had an issue with the pricing for OS X. It pains me to have to buy a copy of Windows... their pricing has always been outrageous and has gotten more so with Vista.

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.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe

Converting Windows license to Mac...

I have a Windows license for Captivate 4 that I need to convert to Mac? Any ideas how to make that happen, other than purchasing another full license?

Hello There ,
I am afraid that Captivate 4 is not a supported version and there was no Mac version of Adobe Captivate 4.
Mac version came into picture after Captivate 5 .
Thanks and Regards

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.

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.
Regards,
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.

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.
