Without version conversion can you fully activate Evaluation verison of SO

I have download
an Evaluation version windows sever 2012 R2 from TechNet and install a server
with this. I also have activated it. <o:p></o:p>
Over the
time that server becomes an important part of an Application farm with SQL and
other bits and pieces installation. <o:p></o:p>
Now I find myself
in a corner as the Evaluation period is about to end. I am hesitating to convert
OS to full version as I am thinking that something may break and the
application farm will be un-stabilized. I know the way to convert OS version is
to use PowerShell as I have done it on a test server. <o:p></o:p>
1. During
the conversion process, what may go wrong? <o:p></o:p>
2. Is there
any way you can convert the OS with just licences Keys? <o:p></o:p>

"Is there any way you can convert the OS with just licences Keys? "
Yes.  The only limitation is if you have installed the machine as a domain controller.  That cannot be converted in place.  It requires removing it as a DC, changing it to a fully licensed copy, and then making it a DC again.

    I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

    Thank you Carolyn, How helpless you can feel without this App!
    Going into the App Store as you suggest, I see 'thee updates available", the first says, 'X RESTART', the second says, 'Garage Band, an error has occurred" (in red), and the third 'Memory Clean, UPDATE'.
    Am I correct in thinking that OSX is the problem, because it is waiting for a restart?
    Kind regards,

    Is there anything else beside the number 2203?
    Try removing the current Reader using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, then install 11.0.07 from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • I want to maintain Safari 10.6.8 on my computer and then install Maverick on a separate internal drive so I can run new FCPX software and maintain the older OS for my older software versions.  Can you tell me how please?

    I want to maintain Safari 10.6.8 on my computer and then install Maverick on a separate internal drive so I can run new FCPX software and maintain the older OS for my older software versions.  Can you tell me how please?
    I see an upgrade path from Safari but don't want to change that and would like to be able boot from Maverick when needed.
    Is this possible and how?
    Thank you!

    On the Apple site I see an upgrade path but not from scratch.  I will use my current systems and then it place a complete install of Maverick on the other drive to boot from?
    Thank you!

    Sounds like your phone is carrier locked, presumably to a service provider in France.  There is no way to use it with another carrier unless you can contact the original carrier and get them to unlock it.  Only the carrier it is locked to can authorize an unlock - some will unlock some won't.
    As far as using it jailbroken, you will not get support for that here.

  • Lightroom 5 defaulted to my Trial version. Can you please advise on what I did wrong? I can provide the serial number for the purchased subscription.

    History - I had a 30 day trial version of Lightroom back in October. One small catalog of 1500 photos were contained in it. When I was prompted to upgrade, I incorrectly selected the option to "choose a different catalog" which prevented me from seeing my recent photos in Lightroom 5. It appears that my version of Lightroom may be a trial version instead of the version for my subscription purchase. Can you please help me with this? I will be glad to provide the serial number as necessary.

    Without proper system info and other details nobody can tell you anything. for the time being, try another browser...

  • Firefox 4.0 can't read Adobe 10.2 or that is what my computer is telling me because Adobe can't be supported on a 64 bit version. Can you help?

    My computer is telling me that the new version of Adobe can't be supported on Firefox version 4.0 because it is a 64 bit web browser and Adobe needs a 32 bit web browser can you help?

    If you have a copy of it backed up, restore that. If not, back up your computer, upgrade it to Mavericks, and then get the current iPhoto version. If you don't have it backed up and don't want to upgrade, go to the Mac App Store main page, click on Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say.

  • Can you please activate my account

    Can you activate my apple ID
    <Email Edited by Host>

    Most of the people on these public forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here. I've asked the hosts to remove your account id from your post.
    If it's disabled then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    If you have an iPad, iPhone and/or iPod Touch you might then need to log out of your account on them by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Can you not activate AT&T service?

    Please forgive a question from a non-iPhone user trying to make a purchase decision.
    I was really hoping to buy an iPod Touch, thinking it was intended to be an iPhone without the phone; now that I know that's not the case, I'm a little lost. Talking to other iPod users about my disappointment, I've been repeatedly told I should just get an iPhone if it has the feature set I want.
    The iPhone sounds like a great phone, but I simply don't need a phone right now, I don't want to buy a phone I don't need, and I really don't want to pay AT&T (what is it, $2,000+ over the life of the contract?) so I can own a phone I don't need or want. (I mean no offense intended to folks who love their iPhones -- if I were in the market for a phone right now, and price were no object, it would probably be at the top of my list.)
    So here, at last, is my question (thanks again for your patience): Is it even possible to buy an iPhone and use it without activating service through AT&T? And if it is, what features are available without AT&T activation?

    You are asking about purchasing a product called an iPhone which is a phone (first and foremost), an iPod and an internet device but you don't want to use the phone feature of the iPhone which is one third of the device's big three categories and an important 3rd.
    Well, yeah, I'm looking to buy something, and as I said in my original post I'm specifically not looking to buy a phone, iPhone or otherwise. I'd thought the iPod Touch was what I wanted, but without PIM features (not even a Notes feature, like on my ancient 3G iPod!), I don't think it is.
    Allan Sampson wrote:
    This is what the iTouch is for.
    From everything I've read, which is a sizeable but not overwhelming amount, the iPod Touch was designed to be an iPhone without the Phone. I've seen Touch screenshots in which it generates warnings calling itself an iPhone, and apparently, when you connect it to your Mac, it's identified as a USB imaging device exactly as the iPhone is (even without a camera!). So it sounds like you're right, the iPod Touch is intended to be the iPhone without the phone.
    But frankly, if it doesn't have the iPhone's fully functional Calendar, if it doesn't have Mail, etc., etc., I'm probably not going to buy.
    (Frankly, I'm posting here because the more time I spend in the iPod Touch threads asking about PIM/PDA features, the more I hear from iPod users who say I should just buy an iPhone. I can't ignore the irony in hearing iPhone users who say I should just buy an iPod Touch! )

  • After I download the new version of firefox, it flashes that it cannot finish because I do not have privilages to certain things in the new version. Can you explain this?

    I get all through the downloading process and move it to my applications. It then ask me if I want to replace the old version with the new one. When I click on replace, a new window comes up with the fact that my computer does have privileges for some of the operations so I cannot complete the process. What really gets me though, is that it still pops up saying I need to download the new version. I do not know what to do.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • Upgrade firefox and the bookmarks quadruple on the upgrade from the old version how can you stop this it would be nice to upgrade?

    I am running windows xp and firefox 2.0 and when ever I go to upgrade to any version of firefox my book marks will quadruple and I have no idea as to why I have even tried to move my saved book marks onto a disk and it still will do the same thing. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. cw

    I went into the profile folder and found these files but it will not allow you to delete them so now what do you do. I am wondering if I go in and search the hard drive and delete everything that has to do with bookmarks then try to down load the up grade and then load my book marks from a disk would that work? cw
