Licenses - Question about the grace period of 14 days.

How the grace period is managed if an ESX host is turned off for a period of time, like a month, then power turn it back on and unable to reach the license server?  The grace period of 14 days begins when it is on, or ESX believes only started at the last moment that he was able to contact the server?

I have a scenario where some hosts will be part of a mobile and potential system could not stay powered off during long periods of time.  I would like to put the license server in a virtual machine in order to avoid the additional equipment is necessary, but I won't be able to power on this virtual machine if the host was off more than 14 days and the grace period expires.  Someone at - it experience with this?

Hi Jay,.

I inadvertently tested earlier (turning off an ESX host with a virtual top license server and turning back on 18 days later after that I came back from vacation). The answer is as you put it to the point: you're in trouble since the host ESX cannot find a license server, therefore refusing to power on all virtual machines running (including the license server). In a mobile scenario, you should consider using licenses of the host instead of a license server (which runs on VI3 and vSphere 4).

  • How can I activate XP after the expiry of the grace period of 7 days?

    A couple of weeks, my PC (home built with XP Pro OEM) downloaded a load of updates through Windows Update.
     
    This weekend was the first time that I had turned it on since then, and the logon screen XP tells me now that XP is not active any longer.  I guess that's probably because it updates has been for the Mo (he forced a reactivation of the last time, I downloaded manually the latest drivers from MB a couple of years).
     
    The problem I have it when I click on one of the user accounts to log on, it opens a window of 'Activation' and then does nothing.  I guess he's trying to connect to internet, but it does not have an impact on my wireless router (no flashing lights).  I tried this wiring in the router, but it does exactly the same thing.  The "activation window will sit quite happily there doing nothing for 24 hours."  No information is provided on the 'Activate' window and the only button is close 'x' in the upper right corner - by clicking on this takes me bag to the opening screen of session where all I can do is click on a user account with the same result, or click "close".
     
    IIRC last time I had to re-activate failed when I tried to do this online and I had to do it by phone - but it doesn't seem to be an option now.
     
    How to solve this please?

    she rarely does and I ran a comprehensive analysis of McAfee and it seems ok - unless you can advise of another analysis to run?

    Well, certainly follow the suggestions of Christmas. If your question is simply a need to save script .dll files, you are probably in much better shape than I thought.
    However, you can never be too safe when it comes to malware. McAfee is generally frowned upon in this forum. There are many things that it is not simply to catch.
    I think that the page of Brian here:

    Hello

    I know it is a forum for Vista but everything on the web seems to tell me that way...

    In our Organization, we plan on using KMS for activation of our Windows 2008 servers (we have only 2 of them at the moment). However what I read you need at least 5 physical servers Windows 2008 (not the Virtual Machines) before they will start to activate.

    My question is: what will happen to the Windows 2008 servers if they do not activate the grace period?

    From what I can tell they should keep normal operation (reduced functionality Mode has apparently been removed from Windows 2008) but will be many notifications to activate me now whenever you log on to the server.

    Thanks for your help.

  • Recently bought a laptop computer; A few questions about the offer Upgrade to Windows 8

    I have a few questions about the Upgrade of Windows 8 offer for new computers.  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 of amazon.com, which came with Windows 7 Home Premium.  Toshiba already has a beta version of drivers and utilities for Windows 8 for the S855 on their Web site.

    (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?
    (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
    (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.
    (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
    Thank you very much!

    Yes and there are better ways to reinstall Windows 8 without using the installation disc, you can use the reset and refresh.
     
     

    These steps will take you through refreshing your PC:

    · Press the Windows key + C on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

    · Click settings

    · Click change PC settings

    · Click general in the left column

    · Under refresh your PC without affecting your files, click Start

    Then follow the instructions that will be provided on-screen to cool your PC.

  • Questions about the implementation of clusters of storage and DTS on active cluster

    I have a few questions about the implementation of clusters of data store and SRS storage in VSphere 5.1.

    We have a data center with about 15 HP blades and a few servers non-lame.  The hosts are all either VSphere 5.0 or 5.1.  Our back-end storage is an EMC VNX 5700 with about 20 stores of data.  All the VMWare is managed by VCenter 5.1 running on a dedicated physical machine.

    Currently, each data store is used individually; No piles of data store are put in place.  When a new virtual machine is created, the administrator usually chooses the data with the most space store.  Periodically, we will go back and manually storage vMotion machines to balance the load.

    Recently, we have expanded the VNX storage, so we now have LUNS in different pools, with different levels of performance.

    What I would do is set up for the data store clusters, so that us when a virtual machine is created, the administrator must not know what data store is in which pool.  Also take advantage of the DRS storage so that the burden of storage will be "refine" himself a little.

    I know the setting up of a cluster of storage in a 'clean' environment is quite simple, but my concern is creation/conversion data warehouses existing in active production in the cluster, while they are used.

    If I access the screen "data warehouses and store data from clusters ', right-click on the data center and create a cluster, and then move the various data stores in the new cluster, will there be an interruption in the production running systems?

    I also wonder about activation of storage i/o control.  It is not currently enabled on data warehouses.  I know it's useful for the StorageDRS, but will be allowing any negative impact on the system?  If I turn on the warehouses of data, is there anything else I should do or set in addition to all that allows him?

    Finally, we are in the process of Site Recovery Manager configuration.  SRS has an impact on the configuration of the data clusters and DTS store?

    Thanks in advance for your comments.

    Hello

    Clusters of data and using DTS store doesn't impact RS even if you create a cluster of data store for storage of replicated data and another for everyone else, this way you machines virtual you want to replicate are not moved on warehouses of data that are not replicated , but will still have the ability to move if there is a conflict.

    Gregg

    With all due respect but SRM and DTS don't go together. SRM does not at all support the use of DTS. So if you are configuring SRM forget DTS for now.

    Reason for this is that SRM knows no DTS and VMs can be in flight when a failover should occur, and bad things can happen. Also, the protection breaks when a virtual computer is moved between data warehouses in a cluster data store.

    In short: don't go there.

  • A question about the virtual processors in the prompt

    Dear Sir

    I have a general question about the number of virtual processors in the guest system.

    I use VMware ESXi 4.0.

    Say if my physical host has only 2 cups carrots (with or without HT should be the same), then is - it true that I can only attribute 2 virtual processors per virtual machine?

    Is it possible to give 4, 8 virtual processors in virtual machines?

    In my drop down menu I can NOT choose more than 2 virtual processors per virtual machine, I want to just make sure that it is not the problem of license.

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Nanfang,

    linanfang wrote:

    So the general rule is the number of vcpus don't CAN NEVER exceed the number of physical processors. Is this correct?

    Replace "physical cpu" by "physical cores" and you are right, because a vCPU is mapped to a kernel. For example, you can assign 4 vCPU with a Quad-Core processor.

    If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. If you would be able to map 2 vCPU to the base, the vCPUs had to wait for them all the time because the physical kernel can simply perform an action at a time, why you would decrease the performance of your virtual machine by setting 2 vCPUs.

    It is not changed in vSphere 5.

  • Question about the need to connect every 30 days...

    I understand the need for CC programs to connect to license Adobe servers, every 30 days (or it's 99, since I have an annual license?) of re - check license status.  That said, I have a question about the timing of these connections the licence renewal.

    What happens if I happen to be disconnected so far here 30?

    With the help of Microsoft for example...  I need Visual Studio to reactivate my developers license every 30 days in order for me to develop applications Windows 8 'metro '.  If I happen to be disconnected so far here 30, I am unable to work on any apps 'metro' until I got online.  (And I don't see any way to tell him to reactivate at the beginning).

    What happens with Adobe CC?

    Suppose I have license, and I am online for 29 days.  Then, the 30th day, I find myself be in offline mode when I start one of the programs of CC.  Now what?  Does the 30-day clock 'reset' every now and then during this time, or is it really only try every 30 days, and I have to be online on that day?

  • A few Questions about the creative cloud

    I read that the Creator Cloud connection will be released in the coming weeks, which is great. I have a few questions about the download file and the creative connection program of cloud.

    I have a file which I will download. The contents of this file will be updated periodically locally. I want to do the files in this folder to stay updated between my desktop and laptop. The Creative Cloud connection program will be able to do?

    If a file is changed, which is already in the cloud program will recognize the change and stay the cloud?

    I guess just a little more information on exactly what will be the program Creative Connection cloud would be nice.

    On the topic of storage I will be able to upgrade the standard 20 GB of storage that is available when / if needed? And how much will that be?

    Another question:

    When Lightroom 4 will be available via CC and why is it not available when it was released?

    Creative Cloud connection will keep files between your desktop and the Web site synchronized. You will be able to add, edit and delete files from each end and that the changes are reflected in both.

    To see the connection creative cloud in action, you can watch this video of evangelist Paul Trani Adobe http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-creative-suite-6-creative-cloud-launch-week/adobe-creative - cloud - tour-/.

    There will be a way to get more than 20 GB of storage. Adobe Creative Cloud http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html FAQ has a question and an answer about it down:

    Buy extra creative Cloud storage?

    Additional storage will be available for purchase later in 2012. If you have reached your storage limit, contact Adobe Customer Service.

    Lightroom 4 will be available in a few weeks. Jeff Veen also tweeted this https://twitter.com/#! / veen/status/200810541550288896. Other Articles of Jeff on what comes to the Adobe Creative cloud here in his blog of Adobe http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/coming-soon-to-creative-cloud/.

We need to use Adobe Heiti Std fonts for the Chinese language by commercial purposes. I tried this font in Adobe? Do Folio police 11.1, but is not in this library, your partner gold in China told me this font is part of Adobe Production Premium CS5.5, which we have already purchased from Adobe, it is used freely by the user.

    It is true that we can use the fonts Adobe Heiti Std freely and even for commercial purposes in many products?

    If this font is not free, how can I buy it for commercial purposes in many products? Could be he you pls tell me the person/company contact email or phone number.

    2. we need to use Eurostile LT font for the English language by commercial purposes as well. Is it Eurostile LT available for German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian as well? and I can not find do Folio 11.1 as well. But some Eurostile Std * fonts appear in the list.

    Use font Eurostile LT? freely for user

    The police in the Adobe product package, but it is not in the Adobe typotheque (Adobe? Do Folio 11.1), then it can be used freely even for commercial purposes in many products?

    iCloud does not delete your files even if you lack storage. She stops just to download new files to update your existing backups. You can delete files by yourself if necessary.
