Windows 7 license for use in VMware

I need to buy a license and the installation media to install Windows 7 in VMware. Can I do it? How?

Yes, you can.

Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

Full version (retail):

-Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

-Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

-Expensive

Upgrade version (detail):

-Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

-require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

-Expensive, but less expensive full version

OEM System Builder version:

The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

    If an individual has Windows XP on a computer at home, and they get a second computer for use in their home, can I use the Windows XP license from their original computer to install XP on their second computer? Or should they buy a second copy of Windows XP for use at home?

    If you have a version of Windows XP OEM (the one that came with a new computer), you can only install it on this computer.

    If you have a retail version of Windows XP, you can remove a computer and install it on another computer.

    The upgrade to Windows XP?

    Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

    Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

     

    More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

    1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

    2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

    3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

    4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

    5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

    If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

  • license for use of the bridge

    Hello

    Versions: LabView 2011 SP1, Veristand 2011 SP1

    We have a Veristand application consisting of the part in real time running on a target of RT and the MMI running on an ordinary PC part. MMI was fully developed (to our development system) in LabView and interfaces with the system RT using the gateway Veristand (launched in silent mode). We do not use the Veristand workspace or profiles of Stimulus & Editors, so we expect to only install the LabView runtime and the gateway Veristand.

    We have bougth a license for the project but cannot use it to record the installation of gateway on PC. What is the right way to install the gateway on the PC?

    Thx for the answer, best looks

    Hi thumble,.

    If I understand it, wondering how to properly execute NI VeriStand, specifically the entry door, on a PC.

    A. executing a NIVS system requires at least the NI VeriStand operator license to deploy or to connect to a system.

    (B) it is not possible to simply copy the DLL gateway on a system and expect a successful run. The bridge has several outbuildings, including the .NET assemblies and you lived, binary licenses. The correct way is to install NI VeriStand Installer. This will install also NOR Manager of licenses and permits NIVS. In the License Manager, OR you should be able to activate licenses operator NIVS, PC or development to use the bridge.

    NEITHER VeriStand system operator

    Also, if I use the creative cloud can I use fonts in that I already bought licenses for?

    Finally, do I need a special permit for a book printed or which is included in the license of office?

  • Windows OEM license for physical relationship.

    I ask this question in the forum Hardware because what I read; a Windows OEM license is married to a motherboard or hard drive.

    Is this true? The results of the research gave me conflicting answers.

    What happens if the motherboard or the C: drive dies? the associated Windows license would be lost with her?

    A computer components store told me that for the OEM depends more on what are the elements of qualification you purchase, or when you buy them. Which is in conflict with what I read.

    Note - my choice of OS Windows is Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, SP1, OEM.

    OEM qualifies for all DIY systems.

  • 2808 LAG for use with VMware ESXi and Linux collage

    I posted the month last about setting up my work with groups LAG http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/network-switches/f/866/t/19537080.aspx servers (I'll effectively implementing implement this Saturday)

    I decided to buy a 2808 for my ESXi server get more aggregated connections to my staff iSCSI Linux server but now I'm worried I might have made a mistake to buy the 2808.

    After looking in the manual before I realized I could have been mistakenly assuming that the 2808 had STP and LACP, as I can't find LACP anywhere in the PDF file. I guess that the configuration of my Linux machine for 802.3ad is out (a hope to make mode 4), so now for the configuration of my house, I wonder (* 1 *) that I have to configure my VMware NIC team like and what mode of binding should I use on my Linux host? As for the section at the top (my working configuration) (* 2 *) I don't know what to do about the road other than the leave as 'route based on originating virtual port ID "? (This is how our other data centers are configured, but I'm waiting for my admin network as agglomerates ESXi hosts are configured with the channels of port on our cisco switches)

    For the House, I want to try to increase the bandwidth by using three NICs in each server, I was hoping that it works:
    VMware: Route of IP hash function?
    w/Linux: balance-alb?

    -VMware:
    Before you begin:

    -Linux:
    * Descriptions of bonding modes *.
    + Mode 0 balance-rr: Round-robin policy: transmit packets in the sequential order of the first available through the last high school. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.

    + 1 active-backup mode: Active-backup policy: only one slave in the link is active. A different slave becomes active if and only if, the active slave fails. MAC address of the binding is visible from the outside on a single port (NIC) to avoid confusion between the switch. This mode provides fault tolerance. The first option affects the behavior of this mode.

    + 2 balance-xor mode: XOR policy: transmit based [(adresse MAC XOR avec destination MAC traiterait de source) modulo County slave]. This selects the slave even for each destination MAC address. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.

    + 3 broadcast mode: broadcasting policy: transmits everything on all slave interfaces. This mode provides fault tolerance.

    + Mode 4 802.3ad: IEEE 802.3ad dynamic aggregation of links. Creates aggregation groups who share the same speed and duplex settings. Use all the slaves in the active aggregator according to the 802.3ad specification.

    -Prerequisite:
    -1.Ethtool support in the base drivers to retrieve the speed and duplex of each slave.
    -Switch 2.A which takes care of IEEE 802.3ad dynamic aggregation of links. Most of the switches will require some type of configuration to activate 802.3ad mode.

    + Mode 5 balance-tlb: Adaptive load balancing transmission: Channel link that doesn't require any special switch support. Outgoing traffic is distributed according to the intensity of the current (relative speed) on each slave. Inbound traffic is received by the current slave. If the receiving slave fails, another slave takes over the MAC address of the failed receiving slave.

    -Prerequisite:
    -1.Ethtool support in the base drivers to retrieve the speed of each slave.

    + 6 balance-alb mode: Adaptive load balancing: includes balance-tlb plus receive balancing (rlb) for IPV4 traffic and doesn't require any special switch support. Receive load balancing is achieved by ARP negotiation. Link driver intercepts the ARP replies sent by the local system on their way and replaces the hardware address of source with the unique hardware address of one of the slaves in the bond as different counterparts use different physical addresses for the server.

    PS. http://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/shared-content/data-sheets/en/Documents/dell-powerconnect-2800-series-spec_sheet.pdf said that the 2800 series supports LACP, so if I'm worried about anything on my iSCSI side slap me please in the face, but I guess even in this case, I'm still not sure how to configure the ESXi host because it does not support LACP without vSphere and my original configuration is a free version , so I have no web vSphere management needed to make the LACP allow the change.

    Not sure if it is of no use: example configuration of EtherChannel / switches control protocol LACP (Link Aggregation) with ESXi/ESX and Cisco/HP (1004048), but that's where I was to base the choice on IP hash from.

    It must have the support of layer 3 to achieve IP hash, IP addressing is a 3-layer technology, so a 6200 series or higher or the soon to be released N3000 series.

  • Wanting to buy photoshop lightroom addresses but will in the next few months how will this affect the license for its installed on a new laptop pc? and do I have to have 2 licenses for use on 2 computers?

    Hello

    I am very interested in this special offer for photoshop and lightroom agreement. But in a few months will buy a laptop computer for easy use.

    The PC will be used primarily for the storage of pictures, but I could use the lightroom on PC and laptop or would I need 2 licenses?

    Thank you in advance for any help and sorry if this question is so stupid.

    He's not stupid, but I guess that you are referring to a cloud offering. If so, if you had looked into the terms of use, you would have seen that you can install your software on two separate computers so he only used by a single person and activated with the same Adobe ID. So you can put on your current computer, and then install a copy on a new one when you get it.

  • Windows licensing for vSphere Essentials all Linux virtual machines running

    We offer vSphere Essentials and Essentials Plus of application virtualization on a company that currently has 4 servers that run multiple applications under CentOS. The two products are very good values, providing important functionality at a reasonable cost. Yet, society of the end-user has some resistance to the required cost of Windows Server licenses. There is no Windows servers on this network. Even a minimal vSphere Essentials requires usually 3 Windows Server licenses (for the domain controller, vCenter server, and database server) and a SQL server license. Even when using standard licenses, the total cost of these is higher than the cost of the essential elements of vSphere. Other people deploying vSphere Essentials on Linux-oriented networks are finding ways to use a lower number of Windows Server licenses?

    vCenter Linux would be an alternative in such cases, but this project seems to be stalled.

    Thank you.

    Welcome to the community,

    If you're only going to do the virtualization of servers (not VMware View) the vCenter Server does not need to be a member of the domain, or you need a separate SQL Server for a small environment. The edition of SQL SERVER 2005 Express (included in the vCenter Server installation) is sufficient.

    While a single license of Windows (more CALs) would do.
