I have FDT Max and I've just upgraded my machine. I want to un-install FDT from one computer and install onto another. When I installed FDT on the new computer I'm informed that my license has expired.
There are two ways of seeing a license:
Your license as a subscription. In this case, you have a reoccurring FDT license (subscription) which grants you the ability to authorize on two machines.
Your license as two activations. This is usually the case when the standalone is purchased. You can activate it on two machines.
If you have a subscription license and you wish to discontinue it, go here to stop it.
If you have have either a subscription or one time purchase license and have run out of activations (e.g. 2 machines have already been activated), you need to deactivate it via FDT itself (see screenshots below).
If this doesn't work for you, e.g. you've already thrown out your old computer, then contact sales and they will work with you to reset your activations.

I just found Visual Studio Code (http://code.visualstudio.com) and wanted to give it a try. But when I read the license terms (yes - I really did) I saw the following point:
TIME-SENSITIVE SOFTWARE. The software will stop running on 31/12/2016 (day/month/year). You will not receive any other notice. You may not be able to access data used with the software when it stops running.
This seems a bit strange. What happens after the end of the year - in the worst case I will not be able to use it any more, or maybe it will not be free any more but I need to pay? There might be other reasons for this term - does anyone know?
This is a great question. I am a Program Manager on the Visual Studio Code team and happy to try to answer it.
Typically our pre-release software has an expiration defined in the license to encourage moving to officially released versions of products when they become available. Released products generally have different license terms, support policies, data collection policies, etc.
Visual Studio Code follows this model. It is currently in "Beta" and has a 31 Dec 2016 termination date in its license. We chose that date because we felt it was well outside the timeframe in which we would delare general availablity ("GA" or "1.0") and become an officially released product. The in product expiration helps with compliance because the product will not run after the license expires.
When we declare GA we will make two significant changes to the license. First, we are removing the termination date from the license and from the product. Second, we will allow users opt-out of data collection. VS Code will continue to be free and Insiders builds will always be Beta.
Thanks again for asking the question, I hope this explanation makes it more clear. I'll post a link to this in our wiki.
How to run WPF application for users with purchased ArcGIS licenses only?
In other words to find installed license with using of API.
You can either embed the license in the application so it gets packaged and then can be run or you can let the user login with their organisational account user which unlocks the standard license level. Otherwise it will run as a basic level license. There isn't a way to detect a user's license as the SDK licensing is separate to the desktop licensing.
I'm using a windows installer package to distribute a winforms application to several clients and because some of them have changed their security policies I need to figure out a way to run the application updates (through the installer) for users without administration rights.
Find below some information regarding the update process:
- The installer is created using InstallAware
- During the update process the old version is uninstalled and the new version is installed.
- The installer needs admin rights because it writes to the registry and installs some windows services.
- The application is installed in the program files folder.
At this moment the solution that I'm implementing is create a new scheduler task, that runs a simple console application that check for new updates and if a new version exists it downloads the installer and executes it in silence mode (the entire installation will execute silently, without a user interface, or any user intervention. The default values of dialog controls will be used).
Some consideration about this solution:
- It's difficult to handle possible errors during the update process.
- It's not possible to alert the user that a update process is running (because the scheduler tasks runs with a different user is not possible interact with the logged user).
Has anyone ever implemented anything similar? Is this the best way to achieve my goal?
If the updates are patches, and you meet a certain set of requirements regarding the first install of the product and sign both the MSI and the patches there is a mechanism for limited users to apply patches, UAC Patching described here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372388(v=vs.85).aspx
If you search for LUA Patching (its original name) or Least-privilege patching there's more info out there, although it's fairly obscure. If the security policies that they have in place include setting DisableLUAPatching then you won't be able to use it.
I've been searching without luck for a way to get tomcat running on my server. It a linux server with Plesk 11.5 and tomcat 6. I've followed many instructions but this one has pictures that are current: guide. I get to about step 4 but the start button is grayed out.
I am trying to upload and run a java application from a .WAR file, but this is the first step. Please advise, thanks!
As I know domain name where Tomcat application installed must has DNS resolving from this server.
Turns out that 1&1 has different licenses. My license was a power user while I needed something stronger. Either way, checked my license and Java Application was "Off". Hope this helps someone else with similar problems.
Guess you need the 'Power Pack' license add-on to enable this (Power User only refers to the UI mode: i.e. Power User or Service Provider).
See http://www.parallels.com/products/plesk/power-pack/ (of course you can buy the license upgrade from your hosting provider - only via Parallels directly if that's where you buy your actual key from in the first place).
As indicated by others, you need the Power Pack to be able to manage Tomcat on Plesk. See parallels knowledgeable:

"Java Application" is not enabled in the license. You may verify this at Tools & Settings > License Management:
I'm doing a fresh install of DNN 6.0.
I have an existing 4.x site with thousands of users, and my goal is to copy the users from the old database to the new one with some SQL queries. Of course the two sites must have the same machineKey.
I thought I had to set the machineKey value before running the installer, but then installation process overwrites it.
If I change the machineKey after running the installer, I can't access the host login created during the install process.
What am I missing?
I'm willing to use a third-party migration tool, but note that I'm not moving users between portals, I'm moving them between websites.
If it matters, I'm using SQL Server on Windows 2003.
An easy solution to the host login is to complete the install, and set the machine key to match your old system. Then copy the password, and passwordsalt values from a known user in your old db to your host user in your new db. You can then login with the known password.
We imported about 30k users from a different CMS using our own code in conjunction with the DotNetNuke API. This took a lot of time and resulted in password resets for all users. Due to the time involved and the fact that we had to implement a friendly "Oh by the way, welcome to the new site, but you need to change your password now" feature,
I'd recommend the following:
I believe this module from DataSprings allows you to bring over users with passwords intact from another DotNetNuke instance. It is also DNN 6 compatible.
Mitchel Sellers made this very recommendation here, and I trust Mitchel when it comes to DNN.
