I am using IBM.Data.DB.Provider Nuget package but I receive licensing error. as per License Details I simply have to copy a license file in the license folder of this Nuget Package. I wanted to know if I can acquire a Trail license for it to present my 'Proof of Concept' to our team. Once approved, our management will acquire a license from IBM.
Furthermore, I wanted to clarify that this Nuget Package (after fixing license issues) will not require any installation at all on our web farm because that's not permitted by our infrastructure team.
I had a similar issue a few weeks ago. A DB2 trial licence can be obtained for 90 days from IBM's website. I found the customer support very helpful. You can contact support using the yellow "Lets Talk" button in the bottom right.

I want to instal October CMS, installation guide is here: https://octobercms.com/docs/setup/installation
but I do not want use composer and install it from repository by composer.
I want download files from here: https://github.com/octobercms/october
and install/compile downloaded files on my local server.
October is no longer free and open source (see https://octobercms.com/blog/post/october-cms-moves-become-paid-platform), and as a part of their v2 they no longer support hosts without composer support or exec() access. The best you could do with October is purchase a license, use composer locally; and then just transfer the files to your server directly, but you won't be able to use the backend to install or update the core, plugins, or themes from the marketplace.
The good news is that the core maintainers have forked the project and are continuing the original project as Winter CMS (see https://github.com/wintercms/winter/issues/5; disclaimer, I'm one of them); and Winter CMS will continue to supports hosts without composer or exec() access.
Winter CMS is currently only available to install through composer, but it does support installing and updating plugins via the backend without composer. We're currently hard at work at getting our marketplace up and running, as well as our web installer, but in the meantime it uses October's marketplace instead.

Sitecore software is available for the sitecore certified developers for tryout purpose ro you should be the sitecore partner. You could also purchase sitecore by contacting them. If you are an sitecore certified developer then the tool can be downloaded in sitecore developer portal.
There is no free or community edition for sitecore as of now.

You will also need a license key which your parter company can give you.
It was there yesterday and now its page is completely gone. A bunch of my builds straight up started failing, I didnt think that nuget removed packages.
Is there any way I can find out why its just completely gone?
https://www.nuget.org/packages/odp.net.managed/
Indeed. Somehow Oracle removed their nuget package odp.net.managed causing a lot of headaches among developers relying on it.
However, you can use the package Oracle.ManagedDataAccess which offers the same functionality.
In normal situations, permanently removing a nuget package from nuget.org is not supported (source). I guess Oracle explictly forced the nuget.org team to remove it for reasons unknown (maybe licensing?).
I suspect that is one of the NuGet packages that Oracle asked Microsoft to remove from nuget.org.
Oracle identified some NuGet packages that were using their software or made it look as though they were from Oracle and asked Microsoft to remove them.
There is a Package Content and Removals blog post about this which includes information about what NuGet packages should be used instead:
If you are looking for the official Oracle software, they ask that you please download the Oracle.ManagedDataAccess package or the Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework package to work with the Oracle database using Entity Framework.
First of all Sorry all that I have to write the lengthy question, But it is necessary to write these things to explain my problem better.
We have an installer to install our application. I want to upgrade the database through installer. So, I have created a snapshot of the latest structure database and placed in the package of the application. I have used the RedGate SQL Comparison SDK API to compare structure of two databases and then synchronize the customer database with the latest snapshot (which I have provided).
I am using custom action class library project to write the methods and those methods will be called the installer itself.
I have purchased the RedGate License key and also RedGate Tool is installed on one machine. On the same machine, I have a installshield license, So I am writing the custom action code on that machine only.
We need to add 'licenses.licx' file in the project where we are using the RedGate SDK API. I have added that file as mentioned in 'http://documentation.red-gate.com/display/CSD11/Distributing+your+SDK+applications'.
I have added that file and the compilation succeeded, as I have the license activated on the same machine. So, first of all to embed the license with the project I had deactivated the RedGate License from the installed RedGate and then While compiling the project I got a popup for activation as shown below:
I have applied the valid license, then I have compiled the installer project from installshield 2014 (which is using the custom action project).
My code of synchronizing the database is working as expected. So, I didn't found any problem in the synchronization code.
Here, the problem is: If I will install the product on the machine which have the Redgate License, then the product will be installed and database will be synchronized successfully. On the client machines, it is obvious that they would not have the RedGate license. The installer is giving the activation popup as shown in above image just before starting the synchronizing.
Even though I have given the valid license at the time of compiling the, I am not able to sync the dbs on other machines.
Hope, someone has a solution for this.
Thanks in anticipation.
Did you rename the assembly after compiling? The engine requires that the assembly file name is the same as the name of the embedded licence resource. Here's a quote from the relevant page in the documentation.
When deploying an assembly utilizing SQL Comparison SDK to a remote site where SQL Comparison SDK is not already installed and activated, you may be asked to activate the SDK, even though the assembly had been built and licensed correctly.
The problem occurs after renaming an assembly. SQL Comparison SDK assemblies cannot be renamed after they are built, because the licensing system requires the licence resource embedded into an assembly to bear the same name as the assembly file name.
You can either change the assembly back to its original name, or change the settings in your Visual Studio project so that the output assembly is compiles as a different name and deploy the assembly built with the desired name.
I am experiencing issues with my CI build server in which PostSharp is causing the build to fail with the message: The assembly 'yada-yada.dll' uses non-licensed features (Basic Features). [...]. We are using the current version of PostSharp (3.1.52) and have no troubles with the library in local development environment where developers have a registered Express license.
According to PostSharp docs, the build server should not need a license. However, they acknowledge that the automation identification could fail:
If this check does not work for any reason, you may use the license key of any licensed user for the build server. This will not be considered a license infringement. However, it is better to report the issue to our technical support so that we can fix the detection algorithms.
It is recommended to include the license key in the source control.
I'm attempting to test this theory but I can't seem to get access to my actual PostSharp Express license! The PostSharp Options aren't any help either:
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
You can find your license key under the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SharpCrafters\PostSharp 3.
If your license key does not appear at the location specified, these steps will help you find a new one....
Uninstall any previous version of postsharp installed in visual studio by going to TOOLS > Extensions & Updates.
Open regedit. Delete the following registry key (including all child keys):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SharpCrafters\PostSharp 3
Download the latest postsharp vs extension. At time of writing I used 4.2.17. Also make sure you are using the latest postsharp nuget package.
Begin the install & follow the steps. When selecting which kind of license you want, choose the Express User License (the last option).
Enter your details, then on the penultimate step, do not tick the box to register postsharp for all accounts on this machine.
Complete the installation, you should then find the license key in your registry under:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SharpCrafters\PostSharp 3\LicenseKey
There are two types of keys!
for current user: HKCU\SOFTWARE\SharpCrafters\PostSharp 3
for all users: HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\SharpCrafters\PostSharp 3
The license might be in one of them depending on what license type you chose.
