VmWare And Xen Licensing
Oct 7, 2009Which VmWare product allows me officially to use it for VPS hosting business (ESXi does not allow that)? Do you have a link to document where they specifically authorize use of their software to make and sell VPS? Are there any legal limitations? What about vSphere standard?
What about Xen, what are limitations of free version? Which payed version is best for VPS hosting, are there any legal limitations?
Windows Licensing - VPS
Apr 12, 2008how does Windows handle licensing on Virtual Dedicated Servers? Does SPLA licensing cost the same as a full dedicated server?
This would be a VMware server, with multiple Windows virtual servers.
Windows Licensing?
Apr 15, 2008I'm sure this has been covered before, but during my search I didn't find much, maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
Okay, so here's how it goes...
I, and a partner, plan on purchasing a 2U server and we're going to co-locate this server in Chicago. This server will be serving a new gaming company we plan on opening. Now, my main issue is obtaining Windows for this server. I have found plenty of retail CD's with like a 5 CALs included, but that was in the $750-$1000 range, which I understand this is what Windows server really cost, but I believe I could find it cheaper.
Does anyone know the BEST, and preferably the cheapest place to buy Windows Server 2003 (Specifically Standard 64bit - R2) or even an "external" monthly license, if such exist. I am new to the entire Windows Server licensing and pricing stuff, so any information would be very much helpful.

Sep 14, 2007I'm helping one of my clients setup some windows VPS's but we're having some serious confusion as to how the licensing works.
I've read on microsoft.com that they now are far more accepting of virtulization and allow, with a single license, anywhere from 4 to unlimited VPS installs with it.
Now, my question is: Does this count with leased licenses? Say I leased a license from my datacenter (say i did 2k3 STD) for $25/m. Would I then be allowed to install it on however many VPS's allow under MS without issue or how does that exactly work?
Cisco Licensing
May 16, 2007From the posts in this forum it would appear that a number of forumites are colocation service providers and web hosters that use Cisco gear.
I was reviewing the Cisco End User License Agreement that was included in the router box. Under the General Limitations section, "Customer shall have no right, and Customer specifically agrees not to:", item (iv) states, "use or permit the Software to be used to perform services for third parties, whether on a service bureau basis or time sharing basis or otherwise, without the express written authorization of Cisco".
Does this mean that a service provider is required to acquire
a separate license similar to the Microsoft Service provider license?
Cisco IOS Licensing
Aug 3, 2007My understanding is that the IOS software running in most of their products is non-transferable. So clearly this prevents a user from receiving updates if they purchase used hardware (i.e. ebay). However, isn't it possible to purchase an IOS software license from Cisco for any of their supported product?
Their web site is a mess! I've spent, literally, hours on their site trying to figure out how to purchase such a license, or how to purchase a service plan that might entitle me to IOS updates.
And how does "SMARTnet" fit into this puzzle? Do I need a SMARTnet contract to download maintenance updates, even for *new* hardware that I've purchased?

Apr 30, 2009Can anyone give me some insight on how VPS licensing works with SPLA? According to my reseller, each VPS needs its own standalone license which seem to differ with what I read somewhere about Microsoft Server 2008 allowing up to 8 virtual stances with 1 license or something like that.
View 1 Replies View RelatedNew SPLA Licensing Terms
Sep 11, 2009Heads Up.
Forget everything you've learned about Windows Server "authenticated" and "unauthenticated" licensing for your monthly SPLA reports. The game has completely changed, and NOT for the better.
Microsoft has changed to "outsourcer" and "non-outsourcer" licensing instead.
Quoting Microsoft:
Quote:
"Outsourcing is an application or service that a service provider manages for their customer. For purposes of this definition, the managed application or service is:
(a) Used by its customer's employees, contractors, agents, or vendors
(b) Not the service provider's intellectual property
I contacted MS directly for clarification on how this applies to webhosting. The response was, if the service provider is (and I quote), "simply managing the infrastructure layer and not managing anything else... in other words just keeping the lights on", that is non-outsourced.
If you are providing any software or management of the environment, even something as simple as Windows Updates or other basic management tasks on the server-- which is the case, for example, if you are running a shared webserver, then it is "outsourced".
Your email server is providing a service that is considered an outsourced service, and you must report (and pay for) an "outsourced" license for that server.
And here is the bad news.
Under the old terms, the Datacenter edition of Windows Server (which allows unlimited VMs at no additional charge on the machine where the license is assigned) cost just under $50/month.
The new "outsourcer" Datacenter license is nearly $250/mo. Yes, you read that right, a whopping 400% monthly license fee increase for Datacenter edition.
A single copy of Windows Server Standard edition is over $75/mo. when used in the outsourcing role.
Other pricing and terms have changed as well, so grab a copy of the new SPUR and READ it. All it takes is a moment of uncertainty to put you wildly out of compliance under this new layer of insanity.
Microsoft Licensing For Virtualization
Nov 3, 2009Microsoft said this about Microsoft Licensing for Virtualization
Windows Server 2008 Datacenter
Run any number of software instances in physical and virtual operating system environments on a server.
Now,I have some questions:
1)Is this method of licensing just for hyper-v or we can use it on vmware ESXi or Xen?
2)How we can use Microsoft Volume Licensing on Vmware ESXi and Xen?
3)What is the best solution for windows virtualization?(vmware esxi or hyper-v or xen)
4)what is difference between xen and xenserver?
5)which control panels we can use for hyper-v,vmware ESXi and xenserver?

VPS Providers, Licensing Concerns
Jul 26, 2008so let's get this all hashed out... it'll be interesting to see how people handle various situations.
Before responding, let's keep this thread signature free.
I recently came across an issue where a customer wanted to bring their own Microsoft products/licenses to the table. Got a few questions for the other providers out there... this really needs to be hashed out.
Microsoft is very strict when it comes to enforcing their license policies, we all know this much.
So... when a customer wants to install their own software, what do people do to help ensure that whatever agreement you have with your upstream provider or Microsoft isn't in voliation by allowing someone to bring their own licenses?
What steps do you take to ensure validity of said licenses?
How do you define, much less enforce, these guidelines?
What role, if any, should a provider play in doing their part to help stem illicit license abuse?

Hyper-V, Clustering Windows 2008 Servers And Microsoft Licensing
May 23, 2008I currently have a server (Xeon 1x5310, 4gb RAM, 4x500gb hdd in Raid 10) with Windows 2003. Now do to a project I'm looking at installing Windows 2008 and upgrading to 2x5310 and 16gb of RAM on my server.
I'm looking to create a virtualized test environment for development of a new web service I'm working on. What I'm looking to develop right now is 2 file servers, 3 web servers, 3 MS SQL database servers and 1 DNS server (would prefer but not sure if hardware can handle it. Virtualization would be ideal as this is very similar to what we believe will we have when we launch the service.
I have a few questions I'm hoping you might be able to answer:
1) With the upgraded hardware specs, should it be able to handle the load if I assign each virtual entity 1 core with 2gb of RAM each?
2) I would like to create each of the multiple servers in a cluster (ie cluster of webservers) as this is how it will be in production. But, I've never worked with clusters before so:
a) where can I learn about clustering windows 2008 servers?
b) is this possible to do in a virtualized environment?
3) How does MS work the licensing? I want to have each server running Windows 2008 and 2-3 of them running SQL Server 2005.
a) Do they charge extra for each virtualized server?
b) Does this mean I have to purchase 3 complete copies of SQL Server or is there a way I can pay a low license fee for use in a non-commercial, non-production environment?
4) Does anyone see any problems with this setup or have any suggestions for me?
* I do have money available to spend on a good solution, so if you have suggestions that cost please let me know. I just thought virtualization would be the way to go as the project will be in development for at least a year with no public access.
** I realize that Hyper-V hasn't been released yet (that I know of) so information on it might be limited
Plesk Automation :: How To Count Websites For Per-website Licensing Model
Apr 17, 2015I've asked sales a few times but they don't seem to know...what counts as a "website?" In PPA as a test we set up two subscriptions and one mail-only secondary domain on one of them. The Services/Websites tab lists all three, but only two are marked as Website under Hosting Type while the third is marked No Hosting. Does that count as two websites for license purposes, or three?
I'm trying to plan for multiple domains, subdomains, etc.

CPanel Horde Vulnerability Found - Update Your CPanel
Mar 7, 2008An arbitrary file inclusion vulnerability has been discovered in the Horde
webmail application. At present, we can confirm that this security
vulnerability in question affects Horde 3.1.6 and earlier. Based on
incomplete information at this time, we also believe this affects Horde
Groupware 1.0.4 and earlier as well (cPanel does not use Horde Groupware
at this time).
cPanel customers should update their cPanel and WHM servers immediately to
prevent any chance of compromise. The patch will be available in builds
11.18.2 and greater (or 11.19.2 and greater for EDGE systems). The updated
builds will be available immediately to all fast update servers. The
builds will be available to all other update servers within one hour of
this posting.
To check which version of cPanel and WHM is on your server, simply log
into WebHost Manager (WHM) and look in the top right corner, or execute
the following command from the command line as root:
/usr/local/cpanel/cpanel -V
You can upgrade your server by navigating to 'cPanel' -> 'Upgrade to
Latest Version' in WebHost Manager or by executing the following from the
command line as root:
/scripts/upcp
It is recommended that all use of Horde 3.1.6 and earlier be stopped (on
cPanel and non-cPanel systems alike) until Horde updates can be applied.
You can disable Horde on your cPanel system by unchecking the box next to
'Server Configuration' -> 'Tweak Settings' -> 'Mail' -> 'Horde Webmail'
within WHM, and saving the page with the new settings.

SSL With CPanel

I'm such a dummy that I've ended up buying 2 SSL certificates to see if that may fix it.
I now have 1 certificate for www.mydomainname.com and 1 for just mydomainname.com
I have logged into the account in cpanel and uploaded both certificates and when I view them in Security -> SSL/TLS manager -> Certificates They both display the correct host, correct issuer, and correct expire date.
But when I try to visit my site using https I get:
The certificate expired on 4/8/2008 7:59 PM.
