Windows XP Embedded and license agreement

Hi all,
We are planning on installing the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 on one of our product. It is a ruggedized PC designed for the field operator. To train our operators, we have a dedicated set of Flash tutorials that they can load up in the field to help them out whenever they want. While it is a PC where people can install additional products, we are using Windows XP Embedded as the operating system.
As we are installing the Flash Player in a product, we read the distributor license agreement to see if we we're permitted to do so. You can read this license agreement at the bottom of this page:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=distribution_form&pv=fp#EXHIBIT_A
We've only hit one issue that is restricting us from installing the Flash Player. Under point 2 - Definitions, it says:
For the avoidance of doubt, “Authorized Operating Systems” does not include embedded or device versions of such operating systems.
As you can see, the license agreement says that we cannot install the Flash Player on an embedded version of an operating system. As WIndows XP Embedded is the embedded version of XP, we feel that we do not respect the license agreement.
On the other hand, our device is a PC, not an embedded device like a smartphone or a personal video recorder for example. All the embedded devices listed in the license agreement (again, see point 2) do not include our device.
We were looking for some clarifications from Adobe on this matter. Calling tech support took me across the world from India to the U.S without even a piece of the answer. I was wondering if this forum would help us out at figuring out if we can distribute the Flash Player on Windows XP Embedded.
Thank you,

Dear Randy
forget the things the other ppl said.
I have done XP Embedded systems since some years now and they have to work 24h a day and 365 day a year.
If you have a good running system you can depend on it and LV will run propperly too.
Make sure your EWF manager works fine.
Most of the problems come from bad hardware.
I suggest to try prime95 on your XP Embedded system at least for 24 hours.
If it doesn't crash that your system ist stable.
The problem you have described may come from a bad RAM device. I have seen failures like this several times.
Another problem might be a memory leakage in your software.
Try to user the LabVIEW Desktop Execution Trace toolkit to find memory leakage.
If you use queues you have to check the usage of optain queue.
This may case a slow down of your programm because os a reference leak of this function.
You will see this using the LabVIEW Desktop Execution Trace toolkit too.
Mostly the problem is caused by bad hardware, high temperatur or a failure between the ears of the programmer.
Hope this may help you a little bit.
Yours with kind regards
Martin

  • CC products require daily sign in and license agreement.

    For the past week both Ps and Dw CC are requireing daily sign in and license agreement. I thought these products could be used without a full time connection to the internet. What have I missed that makes daily sign in and licensing a requirement?

    I turned off the internet access on my laptop and since the programs could not verify I receive the following message.
    So I'm assuming everything is ok and Adobe has just moved to a verify everyday platform. I've purchase a new Dell top of the line XPS system ($1,100) that I will run nothing but Windows and Adobe on. I'm still having issues with CC product line crashed all the time without an error message and Adobe thinks it my current PC and Laptop as they are only i5CPU with 6GB mem. So we'll see. Thing is I didn't have these problems until I upgraded to the CC product line.

  • Software and License agreement?????

    I just got my first Ipod for Christmas and I can't get the agreement page to go away and allow me to access my Ipod. I have agreed to everything and clicked save, but alas nothing is happening..Help!

    I'm having the same problem. I suspect that there's an additional button (beyond "Cancel" and "Save", which are on the left side of the screen) to the right of the screen that allows you to "accept" the Software and License Agreement, but I can't seem to go there on my screen -- there's no scroll bar at the bottom but the words above are cut off on the right-hand side -- so there's apparently stuff I'm missing over there!
    If anyone has solved this, please help before I smash my new shuffle into a million pieces.
    Thanks

  • Where do I find the Windows 8 software and license for mye X1 Carbon?

    Hi, I have a 20A7-model of the Thinkpad X1 Carbon. It has preinstalled Windows 7 and there was not any Windows 8 upgrade media in the package. How do I get the software for upgrading to Windows 8, and where do I find my license key?
    Best regards, Amund

    Hi amund,
    If I understand your question, the info that was included with your order shows it as having Windows 7 as well as Windows 8 pre-installed.
    Usually, I run Speccy (Free) when I need more information regarding what is on my computer. I do not know if it will help in this case, but it is worth a try.
    Screenshots: https://www.piriform.com/speccy/screenshots <-- After running the tool, when each section on the left of those windows is expanded by clicking on them you will see more details.
    *Note: I noticed before installing Speccy that there are two items that have been pre-checked to install. If you do not want them (toolbars, etc.) UNcheck them before installing Speccy.
    I hope this helps.

  • Amount of users and license agreement?

    Hi
    Sorry about posting about this topic, might not seem really relevant to the forum but I’m struggling to get support.
    Ok, I just basically want to make really sure before I purchase Flex for my freshly started developing company:
    1. When I purchase a copy of Flex, how many users can use the product in the company, or can I use it freely to all the employees of the single purchase?
    2. Just to confirm before purchase. The licensing regarding selling of flex created software is for free?
    Like I said before, my company is fairly new and there is no room in making errors in purchasing languages. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Kind regards
    Jacques

    If you mean Flex Builder, the prices quoted on the Adobe site at the page below are single-user licenses:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/buy/
    You will need to purchase a license for each developer. Volume licensing options are available so I'd suggest clicking the "Have Adobe Contact Me" link and discussing further with them.

  • License agreement

    I've used Adobe Reader successfully for years.  Now, when I try to open a document with it, there is a message that says that I must accept the license agreement.  However, I cannot find a window tha shows the license agreement to accept.  I've reinstalled Adobe Acrobat and I'm getting nowhere.

    the problem is, that reader will not open. Everytime you try to find it, it says it doesnt exist and takes you to the "download reader" page, so you try to download it again, and it says "reader is already installed".  yet it doesnt tell you how to open it.  Its a cycle.  a really annoying cycle. 

  • Why does Acrobat XI installed via CC ask me for Adobe Software License Agreement?

    When I try to open a pdf with Acrobat XI Pro installed via Creative Cloud, after few second it starts Adobe Application Manager, it opens a completely blank window titled Adobe Software License Agreement asking to Accept. It's pointless to clic the Accept button: it doesn't do anything and Acrobat is unusable.

  • Firefox will not download on my neoware m1000 windows xp embedded laptop

    I had this same problem on a Wyse V90LE Thin-Client running XPe. It ended up that my TEMP & TMP environment variables were set to Z: which was a 30MB RAMDRIVE.
    You might try changing your TEMP & TMP environment variables to some drive that has plenty of space. (100 MB did it for me) Go to CONTROL PANEL > SYSTEM > ADVANCED TAB > ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES BUTTON and change the value of both TEMP & TMP.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do i get win 8.1. *pro* for mac parallels, deauthorizing win 8.1 pro and license rules for windows vms

    ok, i've seen this question asked a number of times.  i know the general procedure:
    - first download some installer things to a window box so i can make a bootable DVD / flash drive
    - go the mac and use the DVD / usb stick to install the virtual machine
    great.. BUT :
    1) unfortunately, i'm still really confused at the  most basic part which is where (link) do i actually get the initial download thing to create the 8.1 *PRO* from microsoft and where (link) / how do i pay for the subscription key to install the thing???? 
    i keep seeing a link for windows 8 or windows 8.1 where windows PRO is NEVER mentioned.  i ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE a) PRO 64 bit and NOT vanilla windows and b) it MUST BE A FULL INSTALL (i'm not upgrading from windows 7, 8 or 8.1 NON pro..  i'm going
    to be installing this thing on a brand new system.
    i'm an IT guy for two decades and i can tell you trying to find, download, install a clean version of windows 8.1 PRO is a royal pita and nothing about windows 8.1 PRO is intuitive on the MS site.  it's almost as if they do NOT want you to install the
    thing.   i'm not trying to bust jewels here, i'm just being honest and providing feedback that you folks need to make this much more clear and intuitive.  people really shouldN'T have to post on forums to find out how to purchase, download and enter
    in a subscription key for a base version of an OS.  it's crazy.
    2) once i can figure out how to download, install and register the darn thing ;)... i'm curious how the licensing works.
    2a) first if my windows 8.1 pro experiment on mac parallels sucks, i want to be able to remove the authorization so i can reinstall 8.1 pro on another system.   can i / how do i do this in my scenario?
    2b) i actually already bought windows pro 8.1 about a year ago (to upgrade a laptop that came with 8 that i needed to upgrade to vanilla 8.1 then to finally to pro) so that i could windows phone 8.1 development with simulator on the laptop.  unfortunately
    the laptop maxed out at 4G and the performance of the emulator was ridiculously slow that it's unusable.  i'd love to somehow be able to put the laptop back to windows *vanilla* 8.1 and reclaim my 8.1 pro that i *already* purchased by removing the authorization
    from that laptop allowing me to reinstall the full 8.1 pro with the same key on the mac with parallels.  then i can sell the laptop that has sat there collecting dust for a year and regain my windows 8.1 pro investment vs having to buy another copy for
    the mac. 
    i have no idea how to do this though i think it should be possible.  can anybody tell me where / how i do this?
    note the win pro 8.1 install never went well so i actually had some guy from MS login to my laptop remotely and do the install.. in doing so i believe he wiped away the original windows vanilla 8.1 recovery partition asus put on the drive meaning i'm not
    sure i can get the laptop back to 8.1  or 8 vanilla so i can resell it functionally to another person while removing my 8.1 *pro* license from it.   any suggestions here highly welcome.
    2c)  once i get the windows 8.1 pro installed in a vm under parallels, i'll have one licensed copy running.  my guess is that is what i'm limited to.  but when you start working with VMs the whole purpose is to be able to create multiple test
    enviornments and dispose of them when you don't need them etc.   since the window will be tied to the single mac hw id, will i be able to install multiple *win* vms (duping an exising win vm for instance) from the one license  or must i purchase
    multiple win licenses for each win vm on the SAME system?   if you need a new license for each vm, wouldn't i have to do a FULL WINDOWS INSTALL every time i wanted to create another windows VM.. THAT IS CRAZILY INEFFICIENT...
    there has to be some kind of option to dup a windows licensed vm on the SAME system yes?  what are the rules / procedures for making this work.
    i'm using parallels on mac as an example but the same question would apply to using hyperV (which i know nothing about at this point) as the virtual host platform as well.
    i'm open to well thought out links that actually answer these questions succinctly in addition to comments here
    thanks in advance

    Hello bigbobber,

  • IE10 Windows7 - iTunes opens maybe 3 times and then it thinks i am a new user.  I ge the license agreement again.  Apple SR Techs cannot figure it out.  Does this have to do with IE10?

    Windows 7 - installed IE10.  Now every few times iTunes is opened I get the 'user license' agreement as if i am a new user.  Apple SR techs have been working with me for weeks and have NOT solved this problem.  i have a iPhone 4S, but this happens before I even plug in.  Can you help?  Also, second question:
    Also, I have two apple accounts (mistake) and apple says that they cannot delete the invalid one!  When I finally can get on iTunes it asks if I want to merge or replace - I am told to do neither (i am syncing by plugging in the 4S to my computer - i have Outlook).  SO... right now i am unable to sync.  SR Tech says having the 2 accounts is not the problem - actually - 2 techs said it was and 1 says it is not.  SO frustrating!  Is there a way to resolve this?
    Thanks - CJ Texas

  • I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 from Amazon.  It has been installed successfully.  However, when it comes up asking me to Accept the Licensing Agreement it continues to loop back to that screen.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but s

    I had previously purchased a DVD disk from Amazon.  I did get the program to install today.  However it continues to loop back to the screen where you accept the licensing agreement.  I had lost the previous serial number and was given a new one by Adobe.
    After trying over and over again to install the version from their download, I purchased a new copy from Amazon.  I am still getting the same loop on the software where it asks you to Accept the Licensing Agreement.  Short of reformatting my hard drive and starting with a clean PC, I have no idea what to try.  Is the previous software installed somewhere?  I had uninstalled it prior to downloading and installing the new software.  Any help is appreciated!

    I'm going to try reinstalling Windows 7 and installing the software that way.  I've reinstalled it before so am not concerned about taking that step.  If I need further assistance, I'll add a reply.  Thanks!

  • ITunes keeps asking for licensing agreement in windows 7

    After upgrading to iTunes 11 some months ago I have had to live with a really annoying 'feature'.
    iTunes keeps resetting itself, therefore I have to Accept the License Agreement window, then select the Menu Bar, then select Show Side Bar, the select Show Status Bar, then Edit Preferences to check the checkbox to prevent devcies from automatically syncing, then set my mini player window settings, then sign in to Apple Store, then for each device I have to set the Sync Info setting (calendars, Notes, bookmarks, contacts etc).
    It's totally random, ie sometiems I can go for a few days before I have to do it again, sometimes it will do it during the same day if I open, close and then reopen iTunes.
    I have reported this to Apple Support a couple of times now but all they say is that they have never headr of this before, which I find surprising as a simple search on Google has thousands of moany people like me who are not happy having to keep entering the same flaming information time after time after time again.
    I have tried suggested fixes like uninstall, clean registry, get iTunes to rebuild the preferences file, set up a different user account, blah, blah, blah. I've tried Apple Forums, Windows forums, but nope, no fix that actually seems to work.
    Come on Apple, surely you can store library preference information in a simple %CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA% folder. I'm just a lowly developer but I'v e managed to work this out for my applications!
    Surely someone must know how to resolve this.
    It's really, really, really annoying!

  • Trying to open PDFs and it says it won't open until I accept End User License Agreement but i can't find that anywhere.

    Everytime i try opening a pdf this message comes up "Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser" I have no idea where to find this agreement to accept it.

    If you are in Windows (which we don't know), you can try using Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement. In Mac, with Reader closed, go to your Applications folder, double click on the Reader icon, and follow the lead.
