Paid the Downgrade Option using Dell?

I called Dell technical support earlier and asked about my current OS (2012 R2) Server 2008 R2 downgrade. I learned that I had not chosen a field of eligibility of decommissioning over my car and so I would be able to downgrade for free.

I have just deleted and thanked the technician for his help and proceeded at the end of the call it. I do not understand that the free option is out of the question and whether he was interested or not Dell offers an option to buy a copy of their OEM Server 2008 R2 with a license that I would be able to use to downgrade my system.

I had thought to buy just 2008 R2 from an online retailer, but fear that the compatibility problems as not having does not have access to the tools for Dell to load their servers.

Any thoughts on this is welcomed and appreciated.

Thank you.

2012 R2 Standard may be downgraded to 2008 R2, no matter where and how you got it and regardless of whether or not Dell can / will do it for you.

The ONLY thing that downgrade made for you when buying a Dell server is you entitles to installation of MEDIA for the downgrade.

You have NO need to Dell support to perform the downgrade, but do not have certainly complicates the process. To exercise your right of demotion, you must have a valid license of 2008 R2 key to activate. Remember that this key is ONLY for the purpose of activation; 2008 R2 will remain properly allowed after activation by inherent to the 2012 R2 license downgrade rights. The key can be OEM, retail, MSDN, etc. AND can be used on another system (and will continue to be valid after activation on the other machine).

There's a chance you have to contact Microsoft to activate by phone, and in some cases, I've heard, it will give you a key to activate the downgrade after checking the license, but that will probably be more difficult to do it yourself.

If Dell offered an option to buy a copy of their OEM Server 2008 R2 with a license that I would be able to use to downgrade my system.

They do not. You don't want anyway. If you buy the OS separately, buy retail so it can be transferred as needed.

There is no compatibility issues in doing so. Dell doesn't have its own version of Windows. The difference of ONLY between Dell installation media and credits/retail media is branding (activation, technical support information, backgrounds, etc.). However, as noted, there is no need to buy 2008R2, like 2012 R2 gives you the right to run 2008 R2, if Dell decided to help you or not.

I personally contact your TAM or sales representative and tell him you want to go back and reorganize (if, in the back window). Working with a TAM, I guarantee you 'almost' he will send you the support you need, even if it must charge "filter replacement" you the customary law of $20 or something, but it will probably send it free of charge.

  • Dell: inspiron 1525 not boot from a USB stick, USB key are not not in the start option.

    Hi all

    I bought this dell laptop inspiron 1525 in the year 2008 with mentioned configuration:

    Core 2 duo processor

    1 GB OF RAM

    Due to some problems in my windows vista, I decided to install a new windows vista in my laptop. I run the dell support live cd at the start of my laptop and created the partitions on my system. But while the new installation OS on the cd i found that optical drive of my system does not work very well. so, I decided to install the new OS of USB. I went to the BIOS and selected the USB key in the boot sequence. but when I tried to install the new OS while pressing the F12 key, USB key is not listed in the start option.

    could someone help me to install the new OS in my machine? It is very urgent that my machine is down for 1 week.

    Please try attached BIOS changes screenshot than everything be useful to me.

    Thank you

    Gurpreet

    Hi Gurpreet,

    Thank you for your response.

    My apologies if I seem repetitive, but when you go to the Option of boot sequence in the system configuration screen, do you think that the USB storage device listed? And do you see a number in front of it?

    Go to the option for embedded devices and check if the USB ports are enabled or disabled. If disabled, change the option and enable the USB Ports.

    If this step does not help, go to the Maintenance option in the system configuration screen and press enter on 'Load Defaults'. On the side right, highlight 'Continue' in green, press Enter and then save & exit.

    Please keep us informed of the results.

    Thank you and best regards,

  • Options-use current pages now let the tab options

    When I click on use current pages, the page option now remains as a current page.

    This is a Bug that has been reported for a year and a half when the system of preferences 'in the content"was created. This "in content" has been postponed and apparently the developers leave this 'pass through the cracks '.

  • I don't have the option "use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox) for the Application PDF

    My accounting software runs on a Mozilla browser. When I saw the reports, it downloads it instead of preview of the report in a new window. My instructions are to go to the Options/Applications Mozilla browser and replace Portable Document Format "use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox) - but this option does not exist.

    In addition, how to add Applications?

    The plugin can be disabled, which means, set to 'never activate', on the plugins page. I think that the forum does not detect it when you posted (see Question details > System Details more).

    To verify that you can open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. On the right side, look for Adobe Acrobat. If it is disabled, it will be down on a gray box.

    If your plugin is very outdated, it can be disabled for security reasons. In this case, I suggest entering your product Adobe (Reader or Acrobat) and using the Help menu > check for updates.

    Update the main program should also update the plugin. If all goes well then you will be able to use again.

  • Using every night (64). Could not find a way to 'save' the cookies options settings in the Web GUI. Something I'm missing?

    I want to use the option "use the custom settings for history" with cookies turned on in the view of privacy in 35.0a1 every night (2014-09-07). But there is no way that I can save the changes, nightly switch to normative action "remember history" automatically.

    Anyone?

    Maybe you should install the current version of Firefox or switch on the beta update channel instead.

    If you have installed at night because it's the only version that has a 64-bit version, so keep in mind that 64-bit Nightly builds for Windows are generated only for test compilation errors and are not all tests that get any other builds, so the risk that something is wrong can be very high.

    32-bit versions of Firefox should work without problems on 64 bit versions of Windows.

    You can find the full version of the current Firefox 33.0.1 version in all languages and for all systems operating here:

    The latest beta version can be found here:

  • in the options, the selection for "use my windows and labels of yesterday" is grayed out I want to know why?

    I can not set the options, use my window and tags from yesterday, because it is grayed out! I could not find why it would be gray.

    I keep 5 tabs open all the time and it becomes a pain to have to reset the all bookmarks, each time firefox is closed and reopened. just because I can't put to do so in the options, because the selection is grayed out in the options

    Because you're probably using private browsing, go to tool > > privacy > > will Firefox option: change to remember history, now you can change this option "When Firefox Start" to "show my windows and tabs from last time.

  • Lack the option 'Use iCloud password' on 1 MacBook

    I have 3 MacBrook Pros and 1 Mac Mini, everything on El Capitan.  I use my account on all devices iCloud successfully (Photos, Contacts, iCloud drive, etc.).  I also use my iCloud password on all devices, except on one of the MacBook, which does give me the option to do so.  On this one specific MacBook (let's call it "without work MacBook"), I'm stuck with a local password.  In the preferences system-> users and groups, my Admin user (the only user defined on this system), the option to change password don't give me the choice to use my password to iCloud.  In addition, under my username, my iCloud ID is NOT displayed.  It appears under the username on all my other devices.

    I am connected to iCloud on the MacBook without work, and anything else iCloud-related work.

    I tried disconnecting and verse iCloud on the MacBook without work and it has no effect.

    I tried to restart the MacBook non-working and has no effect.

    On the MacBook without work, under system-> iCloud preferences, it shows the ID iCloud under my username, and I even change my password iCloud (I did and it worked - I had to update on all other devices).

    On the MacBook without work, in the preferences system-> users and groups, if I unlock and right click on my username, then select Advanced Options, it shows the correct ID of Apple.

    I found at least another one online of someone having this same problem, and their 'solution' was to reinstall the OS from scratch.  It's a bit drastic - like buying a new car all the 5,000 miles because you don't know how to change the oil.  I hope someone can recommend a surgical solution more.

    Thanks in advance!

    Change an existing account to use the iCloud password is no longer possible from 10.11.4. Accounts that have already activated the feature continue to work, however, if they are changed to a regular password, then they also cannot switch back to use a password to iCloud.

    The installation wizard can still set up an account to log in with a password to iCloud, the current solution to allowing him so to re-run the configuration wizard. See this for instructions on how to rerun the configuration wizard: http://www.theinstructional.com/guides/how-to-re-run-the-os-x-setup-assistant

    Basically, open the Terminal and run:

    sudo rm/var/db /. AppleSetupDone

    Then restart.

  • Re: Satellite T110-107 will not start in the form of recovery option using the f8 key.

    I tried several times and can't get the option of recovering your system by typing intermittently the * key f8 during the startup * as it says in the manual, it will just directly in Windows. I just installed the latest version of the BIOS, but that did not help either. I have no recovery discs, but I would get the f8 problem solved in any case. Everything else works perfectly. Thank you.

    Hello

    Maybe you didn t press F8 in the right way
    You must press F8 immediately after the laptop has been powered!
    Press several times to be sure 100%

    If this does not work, create the recovery disk! This should be done first before you do anything with the laptop!
    The recovery disk is always important and useful if something goes wrong with the HARD drive!

    After you create the recovery disk using this drive to put the laptop in the same State as on the first day of purchase
