licensing during "upgrade spread"

Hello

We have vCenter approved for 12 central units and have six two-processor 3.5 ESX host. We want to replace the existing ESX hosts with six new machines two ESX 4.1.

Once we did the upgrade to vCenter, we would like to join the new vCenter ESX servers and vMotion to migrate the old guests to new ESX hosts, but it will mean that we manage more than 12 UC we are allowed to. Is there a way to temporarily exceed the license during the migration? Or do I temporarily disconnect an old box ESX to vCenter to connect a new ESX box?

Thank you!

John

I think you should be fine, that unauthorized hosts will be in their trial period license window.

    During upgrade Adobe Creative Suite CS4 ME in Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5 Design Premium, I get an error saying that the serial number is not an eligible product, please try another. I used to be able to get a code for the customer service, but I can't chat. Please advise!

    MoeGhazal I have reviewed your account and it seems that you have upgraded to a volume license CS4 Design Premium for an upgrade of retail Design Premium 5.5.

    I also shows that you have made two purchases of CS5.5 Design Premium, but the second purchase was cancelled.  Make sure that you use the serial number that ends in 7886.

    If you are using the correct serial number, then it is likely, that the installer won't recognize your serial number of volume license CS4 as being valid for upgrade.  If you can contact our support team you can be traversed through an unlocking procedure to allow you to proceed with the installation.  You can contact our team of support directly in Contact with the customer.  You can try to install a web browser, you have not previously used.  It of probably a toolbar or other software applications affect your ability to access the media cat successfully.

  • Can I transfer my license to upgrade to Windows 7 on a new computer? The system on which it is has reached the end of his life.

    At the launch of Windows 7 I bought one a version upgrade to upgrade XP on my Dell PC to W7 professional.  This PC has reached the end of its useful life, and I intend to give it up (literally).  I would like to transfer the license to upgrade for my Dell Netbook that W7 Starter Edition is installed.  Can I do this?

    Graham.

    Thank you very much, this is very useful.  Can I just confirm what constitutes an acceptable method of removing of Dell PC?  I have to do something to turn off allow it on the Dell PC before removing it?  I can't uninstall it (because the update of XP should be a clean install) so my options are delete and format the hard drive (my supported option, can I use it for storage) or go back to XP using an Acronis Disk image that I kept from the time of the upgrade.  Whatever it is, I imagine that Microsoft have to take my word that I removed?

    Graham.

    Yes, as long as its not in use on the computer. I would restore the Acronis Disk image that had saved you.

  • Do we need to purchase the license to upgrade the VCS, VCSe and TMS?

    Hello

    We need to get a new license when upgraded version of VCS, VCSe and TMS?

    Hi Kelvin,

    xxx. OVA files are package files to deploy the VCS on virtualize platforms.

    Release key are required to upgrade the VCS for major updates. for p. ex. upgrade of x 6 x 7 software version worm.

    However for improvements minor as x7.2 to x7.2.2 these are the released hotfix version or bux fixes release and you don't need a license for this upgrade.

    in any case if you your devices are less covered by valid contract you can get the license key anytime just contact cisco license team on "[email protected] / * /" and they should be able to provide the necessary license.

    Do we need a license to upgrade 11.1.0.7 11.2.0, now we are on extended Oracle database support.

    Please answer.

    You plan to use different (higher) number of users or processors? If so and depends on your license agreement, you may need to have additional licenses.

  • Issue licenses during the upgrade to vcenter 2.5 to 5.0

    I have 4 ESX host running 3.5 update 5. I just upgraded from 2.5 to 5.0 vcenter. One of my ESX hosts still contains the old license server. I try to change it to the correct server, but I get the cannot change the license server error. I couldn't ping the server licenses from this host. I noticed that on my 4 host, that host was the only server where DNS is not configured. I set up the DSN and I can now ping on the license server, but still I can't change it. From the console, I did a service network restart hoping that would clearly be DNS.

    The customer, I go to Administration - vCenter Server Settings and the licensing option is configured correctly. Any reason why it changed on my other host 3 but not this one?

    Thank you

    You'll have to mainrain one license server until you can upgrade your ESX, ESXi 5 hosts - and don't forget not there is Noah ESX in vSphere 5 so you will have to reinstall to ESXi.

  • ESX 3.5 licenses during the upgrade to vSphere

    Hello all I hope someone can help me with a question of license.

    Is there a way I can tell when my host ESX 3.5 license expires without a license server?

    Can I take one of my vCenter 4.0 licenses and create the ESX 3.5 license file?

    Or do I have to rebuild a license server to connect my ESX 3.5 hosts to? Is this really a machine virtual?

    If it's important, I hope that all of my hosts built on ESXi 4.0 before the end of July.

    Thanks for the help,

    You have a period of 14 days in which to run without a license server.  After 14 days (power on VMs) features become unavailable.  My recommendations:

    1. determine what day the license server was decommissioned.

    2 see/var/log/vmkernel, logs files on the ESX servers to identify the first message about available license server.

    3 project 14 days from the date of license server is deleted.

    If you decide to try to beat the clock, doing nothing.  If you decide to license flex server backup steps below:

    4 Alter the DNS name of the license server (ESX 3.5 servers point to licenses) to your new Server 4.0 vCenter.

    5. install the flex on your server vCenter 4.0 License Manager.

    6. make sure that ESX 3.5 servers are now allowed.

    7. remove the flex License Manager when the ESX 3.5 servers have disappeared.

  • Meet the error code during upgrade to Windows 10 Windows 7

    I encounter an error code: 0xc1900204 during the upgrade of Windows Windows 7 10.  Anyone has idea what the code refers to, and how it can be fixed?

    • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
    • Make sure your machine name is simple not periods or hyphens or dashes.
    • Reboot several times, and then try again.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
    • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
    • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

  • Invalid # license when upgrading from vista to windows 7 using hp W7 Home Prem upgrade disc

    Hello

    I bought your desktop at the end of Vista so I got a free upgrade to Windows 7, which made me send HP.

    However, until the last days vista was work fine.  When he had problems, rather than research the issue, I finally used Windows 7 Home premium upgrade disk from HP that I got for free weeks after I bought my computer.

    The upgrade went very WELL!  Until the end when W7 asked me my license number.  I entered the license number of Vista (which is the only one I have ever had - I have not received a license # with the upgrade).  Window 7 crossed the verifcation license and told me that my license number was invalid.

    I tried to discuss with HP, but the site won't let me that my computer is no longer under warranty.

    How can I go about solving this problem?  I have to call HP and get a license number or what?

    All,

    I solve this problem.

    Hi Michael,

    I don't know if that's what you're looking for? Good reading;

    On the load of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace License Keys

    You can add or upgrade license keys for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace functionality in your system, individually or all at the same time. You add or update the license through MeetingTime keys.

    For the license keys that you can add or upgrade files are available when you buy a new system, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace or upgrading to version 5.3. These files are loaded into your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106 or 8112 when it was purchased.

    If you buy new license keys, Cisco sent to you as an attachment. Save the attachment on your local computer's drive. Place where you can navigate to it easily in MeetingTime.

    Loading of all license keys

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Step 1 tablet in the MeetingTime system, select the action of the system of Import Options.

    Step 2 for an Action attribute, click the values box. Choose Import to the system system options, and then click OK.

    Step 3 attribute to the name of the import file, click the values box.

    Step 4 to enter the file name of the license key file, accept the default file name or enter a different file name, and then click OK. (Use the control key, if necessary.)

    Licenses are exported to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106 or server 8112 then added or updated day.

    Step6 restart the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106 or server 8112.

    Step 7 to verify that the licenses have been loaded, run an MeetingTime license information report. (See section "License Information report" on page 4-6)

    Compare the amounts of license and license keys with the information that you entered in MeetingTime. If you see inconsistencies, load again missing licenses. For help, see "Technical support getting" in the Cisco Documentation by teleconference and support Guide.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Loading license keys individually

    Step 1 locate the key option on the license document.

    Step 3 click query, then click on the < or=""> button to locate the license key, you want to add or upgrade.

    Step 4 attribute to the number of licenses, click the values box. Enter the number of licenses for your system, and then click OK.

    Step 5 attribute for the button Option, enter the number of the option key.

    Step 6 click on save changes.

    Step 7 to load additional licenses, repeat steps 3 to 6.

    Step 8 reboot the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106 or server 8112.

    Step 9 to verify that the licenses have been loaded, run an MeetingTime license information report. (See section "License Information report" on page 4-6)

  • do I need a new license to upgrade from vista to windows 7

    under vista, I was wondering if I can upgrade to 7 using the same product key #.

    You must acquire a license upgrade to Windows 7:

    Where can I still get Windows 7?

    Version upgrade - Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Upgrade

    When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

    If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

    Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate

    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition

    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise

    Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.

  • Windows 7 license after upgrade of Windows 8

    I have an edition OEM Windows 7 Professional 64-bit install on my laptop, that I intend to upgrade to Windows 8 in the coming days. I also sell a car built desktop, so I can buy a tablet of Surface.  Q: after upgrading my laptop for Windows 8, which "releases" the license of Windows 7 so that the software can go with the desktop if I find a buyer, and they want to use it?
    NOTE: I'm not charge what for the operating system and it's completely optional. I don't want anyone to think they could get non-genuine Microsoft Software. I do not have the original packaging, but I have the original disc and the sticker with the 25 digit key.
