Is it in conditions of licence?

I would like to try Windows 8 through the Windows 7 upgrade path. However, in order to maintain Windows 7 also, I would like to install an original image of Windows 7 (using Acronis or similar) on a separate so hard drive then I could switch between the two operating systems. Which means that the original Windows 7 and Windows 7 now upgraded to Windows 8. Whereas the same windows 7 system is used in both cases, that would put me out of the license terms?

Hello

If you upgrade to Windows 8 so you have more than a license to run Windows.

So, if you want to dual boot, be able to use either, you need to purchase a full version
for Windows 8. Then you would have a separate license to run Windows 7 and 8.

Of course, if you put in level and later wants to return to Windows 7 which is eligible
However you would be no longer allowed to run the upgrade of Windows 8.

Each and all versions of Windows running on a computer must have an individual
license. This is true even for virtual machines.

  • Condition of licence for SQL Loader?

    Hello

    I have an installing the oracle client that allows me to use SQLPLUS to connect to our Oracle 11g databases. SQL Loader is optional for installation. I would like to make use of this utility. Can anyone confirm if there is a condition of additional license to install SQL Loader?

    TIA

    Oracle allows the tools that usually used to interact with the database. SQL * Plus, SQL Developer, SQL * Loader are all free. If you use a feature optionally licensed in the database that makes the difference. For example, Oracle Partitioning is an extra cost feature. You can use SQL * Loader to load data into an Oracle database without that it costs you nothing more. But if you use SQL * Loader to load into a partitioned table, you will have to pay for the partitioning, but not SQL * Loader.

  • What are conditions of licence for the PS in the LR + PS photographers plan?

    I know that with LR I can now, with a perpetual license, use it on two computers, including a Mac and a PC.

    I also think that with PS I can only use it EITHER on a PC or a Mac with my current 6 CS perpetual license.

    What are the conditions for the PS Si I subscribe to the photographers CC plan? Can I use it on two computers? On a PC and Mac?

    Creative cloud users can install on 2 computers - Win/Mac, or both.

    Perpetual license is platform specific.  The Win or Mac but not both.

  • Conditions of licence for packaged applications

    Hello

    I think the packaged applications are great and could be useful to our customers (we are a software development company located in the Denmark).

    Could someone enlighten me about the details of the license to use, customization and sell these provided Oracle packaged applications to our customers?

    Best regards

    Martin Nielsen

    Hi Martin,

    I tried a few weeks to get a definitive answer to this question.  Unfortunately, the only answer I can give you is that we (Oracle) are not allowed to interpret the license.

    You can find the license agreement for APEX on the download page at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/downloads/index.html.  I'm sorry that I don't have a more meaningful answer for you.

  • ODI can be used in conditions of licence OTN to &gt; &gt; develop &lt; &lt; packages?

    Hello
    I downloaded Oracle Data Integrator licensed OTN to enrich the knowledge about it. I would like to know if you use ODI to develop packages on the customer site without running (or a small part of the data for test purposes) or installation on client servers (but on my laptop) can be included in the OTN license: it can shows the value of the ODI and can bring the client to obtain the license for the production.

    Someone has an answer to this?


    Thank you
    Fabio Alfonso

    In general, this is how Oracle works. They provide a full version of their tools to play with in the development environment.

    But before deploying them into production, you should be licensed for them.

  • Conditional page on a tabbed pane

    Hello

    for my application, I use a tabbed view and wants to show to the user a license window when it opens the app for the first time. The license window should not be available as a tab. Of course it should not possible to do anythink except accept or decline the terms of license.

    This is a sort of pseudocode:

    NavigationPane {
        id: navigationPane
    
        Page {
            Container {
                MainWindow {}
            }
        }
    
        attachedObjects: [
            Eula {
                id: eulaWindow
            }
        ]
    
        onCreationCompleted: {
            if (app.eulaAccepted == true) {
                console.log("eula still accepted")
                app.startApp()
    
            }
            else
            {
                console.log("show EULA window")
                navigationPane.push(eulaWindow);
            }
        }
    }
    

    App is the main.qml in his name for my main class for C++ and eulaAccepted is a persistent variable that indicates if the user has accepted the license terms in a last start. EULA. QML is a Page that contains the condition termns and MainWindow.qml ist he TabbedPane object.

    If this pseudocode would work I would have no problem. It is my opinion that NavigationPane accepts only a Page as the main object, but with tab pane accepts no tob e encapsulated in an object Page. Y at - it suggestions to encapsulate a pane tabs within a Page object or something else that is accepted as a major object of navigation pane?

    Is ther of other strategies to solve the problem?

    Kind regards

    I solved the problem.

    The answer is that you use the tabs pane. You add conditions of licence as an attached object and set not as a page, but as a dialog box.

    In the main.qml, you add the onCreationCompleted slot and here, you open the dialog if necessary.

    Pseudocode:

    TabbedPane {
        showTabsOnActionBar: true
        id: mainWindow    
    
        Tab {
            //Tab 1
        }
    
        Tab {
            //Tab 2
        }
    
        Tab {
            //Tab n
        }
    
        attachedObjects: [
            Eula {
                id: eulaWindow
            }
        ]
    
        onCreationCompleted: {
            if (TMApp.eulaAccepted == false) {
                eulaWindow.open()
            }
        }
    }
    
    Dialog {
        id: eula
    
        Container {
            background: Color.Black
    
            TextArea {
    
                //license text
            }
    
            Container {
                layout: StackLayout {
                    orientation: LayoutOrientation.LeftToRight
    
                }
    
                Button {
                    id: eulaInstallButton
                    text: "Install"
    
                    onClicked: {
                        app.setPersistentEulaAcceptState(true)

  • Activating Windows, go under licence and notification

    I have Windows 8 is installed, that I bought through my work (a student and a copy of the faculty), who seems to be flicking between being active or not active.

    I have not nailed down the model yet, but it seems that if I just of hibernation, it shows that no active (and interrupts everything I do to show me the activation of the modern UI warning and a button to go to the activation thing) and I then restart and check than active.
    When I use slmgr/DLI information is unsurprisingly similar and it says (now) State of license: a license. If I do the same after a hibernation, it will say something like condition of licence: Notification.
    What could cause this inconsistent behavior? I have one couple of other copies with different keys (they are not portable like this machine) who do not exhibit the same problem. They only difference I can think of is that they are completely different hardware (i.e. the two home cooked computers office) and it is a Dell laptop.

  • I want to sell my netbook and don't want others to know the information I have, what should I do?

    I want to sell my netbook and as to buy a new HD windows still exists on an acer?

    Because netbooks usually have a CD player and almost never come with a real Microsoft Windows installation CD, your options are limited.

    1. replace the hard drive in the netbook with a new hard drive.  It is obviously the safest, but because the new hard drive will not not any what operating system (or other) will lower probably seriously the amount someone is willing to pay you.  If you bought a CD USB player and could find and buy a Windows XP installation CD (not easy not more and not cheap), you can reinstall Windows to make the netbook more saleable).

    2. create a bootable USB key with Darik Boot and Nuke and wipe the hard drive safely.  It is less expensive that the option 1 but does almost exactly the same (and has the same drawback).

    3. use a safe "file shredder" such as Heidi Eraser or one of these: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=%22file+shredder%22 to safely erase files that you can identify (for example, everything in your "My Documents" folder) and then use whatever mechanism has been provided by the manufacturer of your netbook to "restore to factory conditions" (as condition of licence from Microsoft the manufacturer of your netbook is bound to have such a mechanism).

    #3 is probably the most practical

  • Can I set up a second drive C: XP on my PC

    I have a laptop HP OEM XP Home Edition on drive C: has become crowded over the years. The system is rather slow due to debris left by the programs that I have tried and discarded and who have not uninstalled as cleanly as they should. I changed the hard drive for a long time for a bigger and left little space on the new drive unallocated. I have all original OEM installation disks.

    Can I install a second instance of the operating system on a partition? Would breach any condition of licence? It would create problems with two copies of XP Home Edition with the same key on the same machine?

    My intention is to put in place a new C: drive cleaner, and I suspect that it could take several weeks to install all the software and configure it. In the meantime, I will continue to use the existing C: drive to do real work until the new is ready.

    Hello Grangeland,

    Would breach any condition of licence?

    Yes.  An installation and activation at the same time on a single computer at a time.  If an OEM license, it's good on the original computer.

  • Activation problem with hard disk containing Vista deleted from a computer dead and installed in a work computer.

    Problem: HP laptop with Vista installed suffers an untimely death. The installed hard drive with Vista is still OK. Hard disk has been removed from the HP laptop and then installed in an old Dell laptop. Windows Vista is complaining that Vista is not valid and must be activated. I get the activation from valid product key and the activation utility responds with an error 0xC004E003 code and will not activate. Microsoft does not support chat or e-mail for Vista and I can not even a phone number to talk to a human being. I think I should be able to remove Vista from a computer and run it on another without Microsoft having a problem with it. What should I do for this? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

    Property to true. An OEM Vista license does "die with the computer. Conditions of licence for the version of Windows 8 have changed compared to the terms for the most comparable Windows 7 or Vista or XP. In my opinion, the terms are now even more restrictive, more or less.

    Good luck exploring alternatives to the BONE. Some Linux distributions are well worth a visit. Ubuntu, Suse and Mint are quite simple to install on a wide range of material. I'm not familiar with the Apple/Mac or Android offers, but many speak well of them.
