Windows-Linux-Mac

What are the differences between Windows and Linux?

Why someone to have Linux on your PC?

I have never used Linux, that's why I ask.

Thank you in advance.

It's just a different operating system, designed to help coordinate the use of several programs running simultaneously and allow all programs to share resources such as hard drive, mouse, and other devices.

The reasons why you should use one OS over another vary depending on what you're trying to do, or even your personal preferences.

It's like a car: you can choose any style you like.

  • Standalone Lightroom on Windows and Mac with single user license

    I use Win + Mac and I wonder if I can install standalone Lightroom (single license) on both of them.

    License agreements are somewhat ambiguous on this subject:

    If you have, or the main user, an Adobe product user - or - volume licensing (AVL) that is installed on a computer at work, you can also install and use the software on a secondary the same platform, home computer or a laptop. However, you cannot run the software simultaneously on both primary and secondary computers.

    Note: The AVL customers must purchase two different licenses to use both operating systems, even if they have two different computers. They can use the same license on another computer with the same platform at home (not at the same time).

    My understanding is that I CAN install it on two computers on the same platform and I can't use it on several computers at the same time. There is no explicit comment on if I may or may not install on two computers of different platform. IE only in the case of the AVL customers - they can use both platforms - but what of standalone license?

    Another statement of license agreements:

    Adobe develops software for different platforms (for example, Mac OS, Windows, Linux) and sells the software built for separate and distinct product platforms.

    I don't think this is true as autonomous, as Lightroom is sold for the two Win/Mac. A box = a single product, right?

    Someone from Adobe that would specify? I understand that.

    Thank you.

    I agree support is not a lot of help and they completely wrong times more that you'd never guess, as in this case... but I have provided the link to the license agreement itself for Lightroom, the EULA of the specific product. Indeed, this document specifies that it does not apply to the beta software. Please read it.

    So basically, if I understand right now, you can install LR platform how you want, because the general EULA says nothing about platforms.

    You can install Lightroom on two computers, regardless of the operating system or platform, because the specific EULA product is not restrict your use of the platform.

    In any case, it's really frustrating to find what you need

    I did not have this problem. Your favorite search engine will find "Lightroom License Agreement" without any pain whatsoever, it is the first listed item.

    Hello

    I have a pc configured with windows (Vista) and I shared one of the hard drives.

    My mac see allows me to connect and view records and this PC. I checked and I (Get Info) have read and write permission.

    I turned on, on mac and pc file sharing and also enabled for SMB Options I think.

    Whenever I'm going to delete or copy a file to the shared drive it States "you do not have permissions to complete this operation"?

  • Cannot communicate with the server error 11.5 Jabber clients Windows and Mac

    Hi guys,.

    I recently installed CUCM 11.5 (No. Cisco instant messaging and presence) in my lab. Its a simple installation without the LDAP server using the internal directory CUCM to set up customers. I am successfully able to connect to Jabber via my iPhone and iPad on 11.5 Jabber clients or 11.6. I am also able to connect to jabber in windows machine if I use the version of the client Jabber 9.7. However, if I use 11.5 Jabber on the Windows client, it gives me "cannot connect with Server error." On Macbook, I get this error on all the versions I used including old version 9.6.

    The only thing that I noticed that it is option for iPhone Jabber Client forward to put the ip of the CUCM server on option Phone Service only. There are in Windows or Mac Jabber Client 11.6, arrangement for CCM 9 or a later version, where I put my CUCM server IP address.  Am I missing something?

    Kind regards

    Hello

    Just check that you have configured on the system--> the server on cucm entry. If its host name or the FULL domain name, I think your jabber for windows try to solve but unable to do so because of no connectivity to the DNS server or no entry in the DNS server.  Try it below to check if she.

    Change the host file on PC windows from the location below,

    C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc

    Once you pass on the location and add the cucm entry in the host file, reset your jabber and mention the cucm for connection ip address manually and then check.

    Yes, you must purchase a full license for the second installation of Windows 7 product key.  1 activation allows only one Windows 7 product key.  Apparently, you now have a second facility that requires a second product key. Carey Frisch

  • Creative Suite - use on Windows and Mac?

    I installed the Creative Suite to WIN on my PC and the old laptop window.

    My laptop hard drive crashed... would cost more to fix than to buy a new.

    Would love to get a Mac Book Pro.

    Can I turn off my second license of machine (laptop) and install the Master suite on a MacBook Pro?  or am I forced to buy a Windows Machine only?

    Russellb48276717 you can find details on how to request an exchange of platform product for another language or version of Exchange platform .  As noted in Ned, you give up your Windows license in order to receive a license Mac CS6.  Creative Suite 6 licenses are platform specific.

    If you don't want to use Photoshop CS6 on Windows and Mac, then I recommend a creative cloud membership.  It includes access to Photoshop CS6, in addition to 2015.5 of CC of Photoshop, you can find details about how to install the previous versions to download and install creative Cloud applications.

    You can exchange languages/platforms for a newer version product if you follow the instructions on the following link:

    l http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/Policy-Pricing/Order-Product-Platform-Language-swap.htm

    You can do this only once, so you lose the license for Windows if you exchange for a Mac.

    You must contact Adobe Support by chat to make sure that they always support platform for CS6 swaps.  It's getting a little old and it wouldn't surprise me if they drop this option.

  • Detect programmatically whether AutoVue DD is installed (Windows/Linux)

    Hello

    I need help to detect if the user AutoVue Desktop Deployment installed (on Windows/Linux operating systems) via Java. Under Windows I thought on the lookout records under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" without success (at least, I couldn't find any registry on AutoVue). Under Linux, I suppose I could use something like 'whereis' to find autovue.exe, but Windows is a priority at the moment. Hope you guys can help me pointing a few ways to solve my problem.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Lucas,.

    This seems to be a question of Java/Windows rather than a specific safety issue. Check Registry sounds like a good approach. If DD AutoVue is installed you should be able to find it under the same registry path where you can find other programs installed (for example HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall). Remember, if you have installed on 64-bit, it could be in the "Wow6432Node" path under \SOFTWARE.
