Upgrading from Jboss Community edition to Enterprise Edition - jboss

We're currently in the process of purchasing enterprise edition of Jboss and facing some delay in the purchase cycle.
As an interim measure, thinking of starting the project with community edition and later on applying license to this, to convert to enterprise edition.
Is this doable ? Has anyone done this before ?
Appreciate any pointers on this please.

You can get a developer subscription from Red Hat for no cost. This will allow you to download any of the Red Hat software and access the Red Hat knowledge base.

Red Hat Fuse ESB Community vs Enterprise edition

This should be a simple 'google' ... but I have drawn a blank. I assume it must be out there somewhere, can anyone help me find it?
I need a simple comparison that tells me what is in and what is out of the Fuse ESB community edition vs the enterprise edition?
Here are some questions :
Is Red Hat Fuse is open source or commercial ?
What's main differences between Fuse ESB Enterprise and Community Edition (Comparing Features)
i downloaded jboss-fuse-full-6.2.0.redhat-133 from Red Hat Site and i cannot recognize it is Edition version or Enterprise edition
What if we use Community edition or Enterprise edition in Production usage ?
i did research some tutorial about Fuse ESB only i found is Apache Camel and CXF tutorials(All these are creating soap services from bottom) : Can i deploy/ publish existing (our SOAP service) to Fuse Management Console and Track and Monitor service's request and response ?
Our company has been searching Open Source ESB based on our needs to use it in Production Environment (Then we chose Red Hat FUSE)
Thank you.
Red Hat software is open source. You can download and use anything you can get from the 'free' distribution sites like https://developers.redhat.com. (Fuse version 6.2 is very old, by the way.)
The difference is that you get professional support when you buy a support agreement. Red Hat support only concerns the 'professional, product' versions of the software like 'Fuse'. The 'community' versions like Camel are not supportable by Red Hat support.

Difference between "Red Hat Satellite" and "Red Hat Network Satellite"?

Im trying to understand what differences are there between this products. Can someone explain me main differences and what is each one's functionality?
They are the same product. During the lifecycle of Satellite 5, the name was modified to go from Red Hat Network Satellite to Red Hat Satellite. So, if you look for documentation for Satellite 5.5. or below it will be listed under Red Hat Network Satellite (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-network-satellite/) For 5.6 and later it will be listed as Red Hat Satellite (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/)
Red hat network sometimes want to say the internal network of red hat for customers
Red Hat Network (abbreviated to RHN) is a family of systems-management services operated by Red Hat. RHN makes updates, patches, and bug fixes of packages included within Red Hat Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux available to subscribers. Other available features include the deployment of custom content to, and the provisioning, configuration, reporting, monitoring of client systems.
Users of these operating systems can then invoke the up2date or yum program to download and install updates from RHN. The updates portion of RHN is akin to other types of automatic system maintenance tools such as Microsoft Update for Microsoft Windows operating systems. The system requires a subscription to allow access to updates. (Red Hat's yum and Advanced Packaging Tool repositories provide free access to updates for Fedora systems.)
On June 18, 2008 Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst announced plans for the RHN Satellite software to be open-sourced following the Fedora/RHEL model.[1] Subsequently, project Spacewalk was launched.

What is the difference between Alfresco Community Edition and Alfresco Enterprise Edition?

What is the difference between Alfresco Community Edition and Alfresco Enterprise Edition ?
Any differences in both features it provides ?
Can we down load Enterprise edition with longer trial license ?
The Enterprise Edition is the commercially supported Edition. In addition to support, you also get patches, updates, indemnity, and access to certified partners. From a functionality standpoint, the software is virtually the same. There are a few things only available to Enterprise such as support for commercial databases and application servers, the XAM connector, and JMX.
Both Enterprise and Community are tested by our QA team. When it is time to distribute an Enterprise release, a branch is created. That branch undergoes additional testing and is frequently patched with fixes. These fixes go into the Enterprise release for that branch and are later merged back into the main code line so that they will be available in a future Community release.
Both Enterprise and Community are 100% open source. Community is distributed under the LGPLv3 license.
If you start an Enterprise Trial and you need to extend beyond your 30 day license you should talk to the account rep you are working with. Extensions can be granted.
Actually, as of the 4.1 releases, HA & clustering is no longer supported at all in the community. Research the forums and you will see that enterprise is the only way to go for enterprise deployments.
They say
Alfresco Enterprise Edition includes Document Management, Web Content Management, Share and the Content Platform. Records Management, as well as Enterprise add-ons such as clustering and a connector for content addressable storage can be added as an additional subscription on top of the base subscription.
Contact us to learn more about pricing for our Alfresco Enterprise Subscription.
thats wrong! the addons such as clustering are included in the community release. the difference is, that the enterprise version is the stable version with support and extensive tests
see: http://storage.pardot.com/1234/46851/Alfresco_Datasheet_Community_Network_eng.pdf
"No High-Availability Cluster Testing"
In my opinion, the Community Edition is generally sufficient to serve about 50 concurrent users. This should be good enough for most usage scenarios. The Community Edition has all the core features that the Enterprise Edition has. The only difference is, you do not get official technical support for the Community Edition from the company. However, Alfresco has a strong users community base that provides assistance when needed.
You can try Alfresco Community Edition by subscribing to hosted services offered at http://www.alfresco-fusion.com
After signing up you will be offered fully functional Alfresco Server at a very affordable monthly cost.

IDE supporting WAS

Hello all,
Can anyone tell me which IDE I can use to do development towards WAS 7.0?
Please help me out with the answer very soon. I have checked Netbeans 6.5 beta and it does not have the support for it. Also on the MyEclipse Blue Edition page it says Compatible with WebSphere 5.x, 6.0, 6.1, 7, but in http://www.myeclipseide.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=98487 I see "WebSphere Application Server V7.0 is not supported by MyEclipse at the moment. Thats the reasons you guys are running into issues."
Anyone please help me out with this issue ASAP.
IBM Rational Application Developer 7.5
If you want proper support for WAS, you should be using the Rational toolset. RAD/RSA and their brethren are optimized for Websphere (as you'd expect given they're both from IBM).
You can do it with baseline Eclipse (I'd use the "real" Eclipse rather than myeclipse) but the easiest set up will be with Rational. You may not want to spend the money however.
It's well worth the cost, since it comes bundled with WAS test environments and can deploy automatically to other WAS instances (for example, system test environments).
RAD 7.5 supports WAS 7 so I'd go for that one. RAD 7 only supports up to WAS 6.1.
