Can I use an upgrade of OS on any pc or just that it accompanies?

In 2009, we bought some computers shipped with Windows Vista. We were then eligible for the Dell Windows 7 Upgrade Option program. I was wondering if we can use the updates on any computer under Vista or if they can only be used on the system that has been registered for the upgrade.

They can only be used on systems that they have been registered for. The free Windows 7 Upgrade are actually the OEM versions and not supposed to be transferred to other computers.

    I do not. You must upgrade, and then convert the characters or convert then upgrade - you can save an SR to confirm this with the support of the Oracle.

    Only DBUA is the way supported in Oracle EBS instance level. Please see this similar thread - Oracle EBS 11i Database Upgrade to 11 GR 2 - Upgrade method Support Manual is?

  • Can I use time capsule from Apple and an external hard drive that is connected to my Mac at the same time to save?

    I have an external hard drive (1 TB ADATA HV620) and a time capsule of Apple 2009. So far I have used the external drive-DATA to back up regularly on my Mac, but it uses one of my USB slots. I would like to start using the time capsule from Apple to everything back up, as it does so wireless, but I still want to be able to back up by using the ADATA hard drive occasionally. Is it possible to use two devices to back up or can I use only one device? Thank you.

    You can use the two devices, but Time Machine... If that's what you use to back up... can back up only to a disc at a time. So if you set up Time Machine to back up on both discs, it will support drive until one first, then the other after the first drive of the backup is complete.

When I connect to internet, I am now unable to use photoshop on my main computer. It may be that I had photoshop on an old computer that I use is no longer, but I'm not sure. How can I get this sorting? Do I know if I have an activated copy on an old computer (which has been scrapped) and get it off?

    If you had Photoshop working already on the machine, then it probably isn't a problem of activation.

  • Can I run dual boot Vista 32 and Windows 7 64? Can I use a upgrade disk to install the full version?

    original title: I have a simple question...

    I have Vista 32 bit.  I have two hard drives.  Vista 32 is on disk 0.  (C) I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit.  I want to change the installation path on Windows 7 64 bit edition updated the software on my second drive, so I can run a system dual boot.  Windows 7 Setup will allow me to do?  I can use the version upgrade of the software for that, or do I have the full version?

    Hello

    You can't do what you want to do

    32-bit to 64-bit is NOT a upgrade path if you have always wanted to upgrade 32 bit vista

    It must be done with a clean install with a final certificate

    and you need a full license of windows 7 to install windows 7 on the 2nd hard drive

    You can dual boot vista 32-bit and 64-bit windows 7, if the manufacturer of your computer provides windows 7 drivers

  • Can I use Vista Upgrade product key on the SAME machine?

    I upgraded my Vista Home Premium to XP media Center computer, and now my computer runs very slowly.  I have 1 GB of RAM, but isn't enough for Aero?  So... what I really do is to perform a new installation to refresh my computer, but I can do after already using my key product upgrade once? (Now I have an external HARD drive to back up my data... I didn't when I upgraded).  The new facility will be used with the same upgrade DVD and product key, and it will be used on the SAME machine.  This is allowed, or vista become inactive and I lose Vista completely?

    Yes you can reinstall Windows Vista by using the Windows Vista Upgrade activation disk works perfectly. Make sure you have your 25-digit product key.

    Also, make sure that you have installed once are not dual boot.

    My advice is that you bring a new installation with Service Pack 1 disc as shown here:

    Follow the instructions for installation, as in this case:
    Please note that the guide is basis of Dell, F12 can be a different key on your machine and you need to get your site system drivers from your computer manufacturer Web but most of the others in the guide apply to all windows based computers.
  • 2250ed dv7 - what a memory can be used to upgrade RAM 8 GB?

    It currently contains two sticks of memory 2 GB PC3 - 8500, but two sticks of corsair 4 GB each gave rise to all kinds of flashing lights (and did not work, of course).

    Any advice on what memory to use? HP or spare parts, I don't really like.

    There are some announced here and here.

    Use brands like Kingston or Crucial that are guaranteed compatible. Corsair does not have compatible memory guaranteed for your laptop. That's why you had problems with the Corsair memory.

  • Can I use program generator to change a field in the contacts that run a campaign?

    I am a new user, Eloqua, from a company that is a new client Eloqua (E10), try to penetrate the opaque world of the program Builder (PB).  I have spent some time looking for answers, but just empty and hope you can help: to end a pretty simple campaign of the canvas (CC) campaign, I want to edit a field in a contact to indicate that the contact has traveled the countryside. (We want to be able to easily return the bit on this area apart from Eloqua so that the customer returns in the campaign).

    I know CC this is impossible, but I gleaned that can of PB. And if I understand correctly, CC can put contacts in a program of PB.  My question: How can I build (and a link to my campaign) a PB simple program to change the value of a single field in everyone who enters the program through campaign canvas?  Is it still possible?  Is there a simpler way that I don't see?  I am really a beginner, so be gentle if I'm missing something basic.

    Thanks in advance!

    Post edited by: Kevin for spelling/typo

    Yes, you can go to the canvas of the campaign on the program generator. You can still run a segment on the contacts that have responded to a campaign, if you're looking for just a way to pull the contacts who have or have not entered a campaign. Here is a basic outline of what you try to do with PB and the canvas of the campaign.

    To update the field in the program generator, you need to first put in place a rule update for updating the contact with a value field. (Updated contacts--> data tool--> new rule). Use the option 'Set to Value' in the update rule.

    Then build a program in PB with three steps - Enter (passage of the stage), update a Contact with the updated rule, program output.

    Then, as a campaign backdrop, choose either the "add a program" or "move to the program." 'Add' will maintain contacts in the campaign and 'Add' the program 'move' will move them to the campaign in the program. Whatever it is, choose the update program and step 1 at the stage of the campaign.

  • Can I use vSphere replication for VMs on a logical unit number that is doing table replication to DR site

    Hi guys, could not find the answer on any Docs/KBs. With the implementation of normal SRM, I know you can use a mixture of the two, while a virtual machine is not protected by the table and vR.

    I need to make a site of NEW Dr. C while maintaining the current Bay of NETAPP on protection SRM of Site B.

    Will this be an approach to support? Step 0 is required?

    0 > get my guys to storage to stop replication on LUN - XYZ table (IF ANY) on

    1 > delete virtual machines on LUN XYZ of SRM existing Protection groups.

    2 > use vSphere replication to replicate the VMs who live on the LUN - XYZ

    3 > repeat the process until all LUNS have been treated like that.

    It should work without problem. I would recommend just a change in order to:

    1 (also remove the logic of the PG unit number), 0, 2, 3

    If you want to leave the computer on the same LUN virtual then step 0 is not necessary, but recommended (see below). If want to let the replication logic unit number and can just svmotion the VM, which would work as well.

    From a data protection perspective, as long as you understand the potential complications, I recommend you actually starting with step 2. Technically, you don't want to not have the same virtual machine reproduced several times, in this case since you are in transition, and if you understand that retrieve the VM using a method will break the other, and you can not the virtual machine protection with the two (VR & ABR) in SRM, you should be ok.

    Hope it makes sense. If this is not the case, let me know.
