The Linux Application running on vmware license validation

Hi all

We sell our software based on linux on our custom server hardware platform. We intend to make the vmware as a platform officially supported. We will distribute only computer image virtual and clients will have to arrange their own ESX VM server.

License of our application is generated using eth0 MAC from our server unit. So the license of the application generated for a mac address, on the device only one server (i.e. a license is linked to a server machine). Same license does not work on any other device server due to the mac address verification.

In ESX VM, mac address can be automatically or manually assigned to a VM vNIC:

1 auto generated MAC:

===================

We leave the ESX Server to assign an automatically generated mac address to our VM.

Limits:

License currently applied to our application will not work in the following cases, which are very likely to occur in the field:

a. If the virtual computer is moved to another ESX Server, automatically generated the MAC address for this virtual machine will change.

b. conflict of MAC address of is not guaranteed.

If a virtual computer is stopped, the same generative MAC may be assigned to another VM that happens while the virtual machine is broken.

Later when this virtual machine is displayed, it will get a few other self-generated Mac.

2. manually configured MAC address:

=============================

Disadvantages: Possibility of piracy, because the user can specify the same MAC to several virtual machines of our application that runs on different ESX servers and apply the unique license.

How about the other applications that run on vmware, handle request license validation?

Is there any "unique globally identify" for each VM instance that can be used to generate and validate the license of the application?

Kind regards

Manish

Licensing could be a problem if based on the MAC address.

As you wrote if you use a MAC address manually it can also be defined by the user.

If you use the automatic type, there is another problem.

And anyway Linux is fairly simple spoof the MAC address...

Using the properties of the drive, as UUID or special block could simple derivation by cloning the entire disk with JJ.

CPUID properties can not be used...

Have you considered using a solution based on the license server?

  • Detect the first application running

    I create an application with a SQLlite database in the SD card. The application is already installed in the device and the database has already been created on the SD card.

    However, I have a newer version of the application and a newer database structure for it. I want to change the database table when the user launches the application newer version for the first time.

    The problem is: how to detect that the application is running for the first time?

    You have many options to do so, but according to my suggestion, you can have an object stored in the persistent store to indicate the version of the app and start can check if the application has the same version number as the stored object.

    Fixed it :)
    I had to put the following parameter: IntradocServerPort = 4444

    When I ran my program I saw results in my table. Also, I do not see the warning...

    I used the search instead of getItems operation.
    I need to set the path to "/" and recursive to true in order to see the results in my table.

    When I use the getItems operation and set the path to "/" and run the file, I get a single record with the record of the contribution.

    I notice in your links, you use links to set the path, so I think you want the user to go through the files and update the list when the user selects a folder, correct?

    To test your connection, set the path in your links to the getItems operation to / instead to your EL expression.
    If you have a result, that there is something wrong with your logic. If you do not see a result, there is something else wrong.

    For example, here are my links:

  • A sound signal when executing an application in a VMWare Image of XP

    When executing an application, I noticed a heinous system Speaker beep whenever I try to use an application. Turned off the coast of all the properties of the system, I was able in the machine of the virtual computer and the system of my laptop, but I still have this terrible noise. Makes the application running in VMWare quite difficult. I was hoping someone knew a solution or keeps doing that. The application, as I have tested, does not that noise when running on the installation of the base.

    XP pro fully updated on local and XP Pro SP2 on virtual image. Using the latest version of VMWare Player.

    I tried to disable the system speaker AND sound card to the level of the local device manager and it does again almost as if VMWare is without going through the local system to use of any resource made this terrible noise.

  • Application runs slow after deployment

    With the help of JDev 11.1.1.6

    I have developed a fairly broad application using business components based on tables of Oracle database and it works very well in the IDE.

    The application has many pages.  Each page queries the database when the page is loaded.  The deployed application runs very slowly when you query the database for the first time.

    I checked the database session and it's not slow it down.

    Are there things I can do to improve performance?

    Are there available diagnistic tools that can pin-point where the downturn occurs?

    Thank you

    Raymond

    Additional information: the application is using page fragments and dynamic flow for navigation task.  Most of the time is between the time you click on the link and the time that the page is traversed.

    It is a normal behavior. By default, Weblogic compiles JSPs on their first use, which takes a while. If you want to precompile JSP pages to deploy in time, you must add the following to weblogic.xml application descriptor:

    ...

     

        true

  • 64-bit vs. 32-bit IOP 11.1.2.0.0 - locate to the same application?

    You have benchmarks for the 64-bit version of Windows of an application of IOP compared to running the same application running in an IOP 32-bit Windows environment to determine which is faster?

    Thank you.

    We have internal performance tests to show improvement. The 64-bit relieves a tremendous burden on the amount of memory THAT JVM can be affected on a windows machine. In 32 bits, it is limited to 1.4 GB and that, in turn, limits the size of the model, we can take over the IOP, the number of blocks, blocks cache size, number of user sessions, scenarios, etc. By moving to 64-bit JVM max memory can be increased significantly and the limit is the limit on the size of the heap this particular version of Java can handle. We have tested up to 16GB and I know that practical applications where the JVM memory has been tried up to 128 GB on JDK 1.6.

  • Each single Exe file that I want to run is not a valid application 32 for a reason any. Please help me!

    I searched the internet on how to solve this problem on my own but finally I'm looking for help because I have tried most of the things and the result is null.

    1. no doubt the main cause looks like either virus, malware, causing this problem (but I am able to get online and speed has no place at all)

    2. does not have anti-virus software. The one I got was off license and I uninstalled it and now I'm not able to run any exe file. It does not matter whether the file is to drive HARD, CD or downloaded from the internet.

    3. I am able to open the Task Manager and the registry. And someone says online to check specific registry values and adjust the settings for a default value, but he was already there... which means register is not performed.

    Well, I know that there should be a solution for me, but I don't know what it takes right now. Impossible to restore even, is not a previous restore point.

  • An easy way to get the IP address of a VMware Player running?

    Hey guys, need some help to get the IP address of a VMware Player running in windows & linux. An easy way? I search on google. I saw someone said how to limit the selection of the IP address, but this isn't what I want. I want to get the IP address of a VMware Player running in windows & linux. Thank you.

    Hi Badboy,

    Welcome to the forums.

    VMware Player has no IP address, but the guest inside the VM systems have not one.

    If your virtual machines based on the internal DHCP server of the player, for example if they are bridge now or NAT network, then on Windows, you should find information useful in the %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\vmnetdhcp.leases. There is such a file on Linux.

    Good luck.

  • How can I get the error "Unable to start the service" on attempts to run administrative tools (including the Services application) when logged in as an administrator?

    A large number of menu selections is affected, including the 'computer management', 'Event Viewer', 'Services' and 'System Configuration'.
     
    I tried to clean a computer that was thus invaded by unwanted applications and the services that it was unusable.  I applied several sets of Windows updates until it has been fairly stable, then lightened through the Services application services, changing many services 'automatic' to 'enabled' or 'disabled '.  I suspect that some service necessary for the performance of the foregoing has been inadvertently stopped.  (None that he was '' strongly recommended '' or '' recommended '' do not turn off or the description seemed to make a requirement, but...)  I don't know how to confirm this theory, identify the missing service or reactivate a service without the Services application.

    I got lucky.  I called a local, independent computer store.  Their support staff (after confirming that I had an appropriate Windows license) told me that if the computer came with a disk for Installation of Windows Vista, there is probably a partition to start installation on the hard disk, I could get to with a special touch at the beginning of the start-up phase of the BIOS.  It flashed by so quickly that I missed my chance, so I put off the power while trying to boot Windows.  On my next attempt, I missed again (even if I managed to spot the key combination - F11).  But when he arrived at the start-up phase of Windows, he offered me a chance to run the system restore which was banned when I was logged in with an administrator account.  I had to go back a ways, but I found one who would start and was able to complete cleaning of the machine and make it to a usable state.
     
    Thanks to all who responded.
     
    Oh, and it seems (according to my conversation with the service of the local computer store) that my fatal mistake was by disabling the service allowing you to promote its own security.  Apparently an administrator account is not the rights needed to perform most administrative functions without it; If disabling the service gets you into a nearly unrecoverable state.  A hint of that in the description of the service, or even a total ban on deactivation, would be a good idea.
