  • Legal question - am I allowed to use the student version for personal business while studying?

    Hello.

    I am currently student in digital imaging and have a student subscription of CC.  I have to use Photoshop, Bridge, Lightroom etc a lot.

    We started a "freelance photography" unit and we are encouraged to actually start / register our own businesses.

    I'm curious to know about...  If I was to start my own business of photographic imagery and got a job, I would be able to use Photoshop etc. for this job with only the student member or would I need between/purchase another subscription?

    I could browse legal documents, but this information does not seem to be very accessible and I hope for a quick response.  I will need to send the information to my teachers, as well (they can be a little vague on the details sometimes...).

    Thanks for any information on this subject.

  • You can use version for VM Windows OEM license

    1. can I use OEM version for virtual machine window.

    2 in case I created a new copy and removed the old how it will affect license.
    3. If I want to create a new virtual machine by throwing an old can I use same OEM license
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, you can use the OEM System Builder License in a virtual machine.

    In what concerns by deleting and recreating a VM, I don't know to be honest, given the virtual machine itself is considered to be a computer and to move the license to a new virtual machine would be considered in the eyes of the LICENSE as another machine.

    What I suggest do you after installing Windows 7 OEM in a virtual machine and activate it, you must create a snap shot of your active install. When you are ready to throw a virtual machine just back to the snapshop so it will look like new.

  • OEM version of Windows

    I started PC repair services in my area. And especially the client, that they do not have disk to install windows that they have fair windows serial key printed on the CPU or the back of the laptop. Can I use the OEM version of windows to rebuild several computers (of a generator system point of view)?

    You just need a classic Installation Vista FULL disc (one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit - each contains all versions of Vista).  You can use these didks to re - install operating systems; However, you must use the product key provided by the customer and only install the same version of Vista they had on their system and which corresponds to its product key!  If they have a Vista upgrade version, you must first install the program original before you can improve it (you can't just install the full product or the key will not activate).  You cannot use the product keys of these two drives on more than one machine at a time - so if the customer lost its product key you will not be able to help them as they will eventually be uable to activate and who will essentially stop the system.  You just can't use an OEM version of the disc (for one thing - it often contains premanente programs and special device drivers you don "t want to be installed and you do not have OEM rights to do as they have agreements with other vendors that include additional software or information).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Purchase Windows 7 OEM version or commercial full consumer?

    In the run-up to the deadline of the end of support April XP, I get a lot of requests for information on upgrading to Windows 7. If you look at the Amazon price, the full commercial version is at least double the OEM version. The presentation text says that the OEM version for systems integrators. This is me. However, I wonder do these updates by consumers. Buy the OEM version for them? Thank you, Charlie Lewis.

    OEM version is less expensive, but keep in mind that once installed his attachment to this specific computer / motherboard you installed on. And Yes, you can buy and use the OEM version. More on this later in my post.

    Keep in mind that the transition from XP to Windows 7 requires a 'custom' / clean install. Therefor, all that the data files of your customers (Documents, Photos, music, Etc.) must be stored on external media before you start the upgrade. Applications must be reinstalled on the assumption that they are compatible with Windows 7.

    More important, you will need to check that there is no Windows 7 device drivers are available for the computer that you want to upgrade. If no driver for Windows 7 is listed on the web site of the manufacturer of the PC or the motherboard, then chances are Windows 7 will not work correctly.

    You can test the client computer by pulling on their hard drive, a device you have available and try to install a "Retail" Windows 7 version (make an installation without key, any key or activation is required and you have 30 days to test the whole) to see if it installs and runs correctly. In this way, you do not lose an OEM product key only to discover 7 do not play on their computer.

    Windows 8.1 is not in my view an acceptable solution for several reasons:

    (1) the user interface isn't somehow as Office XP.

    (2) drivers for Windows 8 are even less likely to be available.

    (3) the client applications are in all likelihood is not compatible with Windows 8 / 8.1

  • Pure install the OEM Version of Windows 7 re-Boot Loop after the message "preparing system for use of handguns."

    Thanks in advance for any help...

    I tried to install the OEM version of windows 7, but after "successful installation" restart the computer and it posts, I see the Windows logo, preparing for the first time use... Nothing that he stops, then reeboots.

    My characteristics are the following: I have a motherboard ASUS P5KPL-CM, processor E5200 Intel Duo Core, 4 GB RAM, 1.5 TB hard and a Radeon HD 4870 graphics card. I built myself this PC. It was Windows XP, but I formatted the hard drive to do a clean install, so now I we a Creek so to speak. Help please?

    So I fixed it!

    I do not know what was causing the boot loop, but the solution was simple. I removed my second hard drive, my video card and 2 GB of ram. I've heard say that windows 7 like no more than 2 GB of ram to install. I reinstalled from the disk, and all is well. If anyone else has this problem, it's worth a try.
  • Is it legal to use and the version of Windows XP OEM from an old computer (to be retired) to the lower-grade a Vista to XP computer?

    (I have a few Win XP computers running the great. And I like Win XP.)

    Here's the situation:

    I have also a Vista computer and a very very old computer Win XP.  This computer very very old win XP has been in the dust of basement collection and will be sent to the recycling center.

    Question:

    The two Vista and old Win XP computers came with the OEM version of windows.  (Not the retail version.)

    Is it legal to use the Windows XP from this very old (to be retired) computer to down-grade the Vista to XP computer?

    (Will do that if it is not legal.)

    Thank you

    Skip

    Sorry, no. You cannot move an OEM license on another computer.

    You can move the windows on a new computer

    If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on one computer at a time (and if it's a version upgrade the new Windows computer must have its own license of qualification). The previous Windows installation on your old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer.

    If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

  • Can I use a retail version of Windows 7 SP1 to fix to install an OEM Version?

    Im running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit on my HP desktop computer preinstalled. He's worked for years, but now I have many problems with it:

    -Speech recognition on the screen keyboard and Narrator just does not work with "a referral was returned from the server" error message. They work if I turn off the UAC, but I want to keep it activated for security reasons
    -Windows Update fails always up to date, the last successful update was a month ago. He gets 2 error codes: Code 8000FFFF and Code 80070005
    -Some convenience stores in Windows does not start and the error code 0x80070005

    I think that the errors come from problems related to security on my computer. At this point, I want to do a repair of Windows 7 installation. My office did not come with a Windows 7 DVD, but I created a commercial version that comes without the key to Digital River.

    Can I use my OEM of Windows 7 Home Premium product key to activate the repair facility of the Windows 7 Home Premium from the disc, I created using Digital River and Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool?

    Why not reinstall Windows 7 instead?

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

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

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

    Reset the security permissions:

    One option is to reset your default security permissions by running the following command:

    secedit/configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf/db defltbase.sdb / verbose

    For more information, you can see KB 313222.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/313222

    Also be aware of the following:

    «.. . command line is no longer able to reset all default security settings and can even result in the operating system becomes unstable. »

    If this does not resolve the problem, your installation can be irreparably and the only other option is to reinstall them all. As you may know, there is a recovery disk. If it has not been provided, you will need to contact your employer who sold you the computer.

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

    Also:

    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

    This will check for any breach of integrity

    Restart your system

    If all of the above is not appropriate, you can try doing a repair install using your Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 disc downloaded from Digital river:
