I installed newer version of Sitecore (Sitecore Experience Platform 8.1 rev. 151207 (8.1 Update-1)) and also installed Mongo DB(3.0.2) and both of them installed successfully. However I don't see any new databases created in MongoDB by Sitecore. I verified the connectionstrings.config and it has the correct path to Mongo DB(Example: mongodb://localhost:27017/analytics).
Since this is my local environment I am reusing the license of Sitecore 7.2 which also includes license for DMS. After digging through the log file I noticed this:
8944 20:39:58 INFO xDB is disabled.
8944 20:39:58 INFO Tracking is enabled.
After doing some research I didn't find Analytics.Enabled setting in Sitecore Analytics.config file or even in /sitecore/admin/showconfig.aspx file. Even after updating the config file with Analytics.Enabled = true it still says "XDB is Disabled".
Is there any setting that needs to be updated? Does the license file need to be updated separately for XP?
You will need to generate a new license for Sitecore 8.1, the older Sitecore license are not compatible:
Sitecore 8.1 now requires a license with the “Sitecore.xDB.base” key
to enable all features of the Experience Platform. If your license
file does not contain this key, Sitecore will default to Experience
Management (CMS-only) mode. Any customers or partners with a license
to Experience Platform should contact their account manager or login
to SPN if they are missing this key.
From the Sitecore download page.
You can generate a new license by logging into SPN and you need to make sure it is "xDB enabled"
In Sitecore 8.1, You have a new config file "Sitecore.Xdb.config" where you can enable/disable CMS Only mode, Make sure that the following setting is enabled in it:
Xdb.Enabled
https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_platform/xdb_configuration/cmsonly_mode_configuration
Also, If you don't have a valid xDB license, CMS-Only mode is enabled by default.
After doing some digging from the above notes I found that we need to update the Sitecore license. After procuring a new license Sitecore was successfully able to create databases in Mongo.

I recently created several courses in Moodle, but I don't know how I can back them up.
here is some additional information:
moodle was downloaded from the "bitnami" site and installed in a vm
the operating system where moodle is installed is Debian
I found two articles that explain about performing the backup. one of them talks about the automatic backup of moodle, I can even configure it within the platform, but I don't know if it was actually done or where it ended up

I am using ActiveReports6 for my windows forms application
When I install it on my machine providing serial key it works perfectly fine.
But when I don't install it, it shows this red line in the bottom of the report
The document was created using an evaluation version of activereports..
My understanding may not be correct, but what I tried is I installed licensed version of ActiveReports6 to my computer and then copied all the dlls generated for ActiveReports6 from GAC and added them to my project thinking now they will work on any machine as they are generated by licensed version of the software.
And then uninstalled Activereports6, but when I tried it still gave me the same evaluation version message.
So is it mandatory that active reports has to be installed in all the machines where I deploy my client? Or I did something wrong
The license for development. You would install activereports, create your reports and build your application on the licensed machine, the VS compiler will automatically check the licensed components and include the license within your application. You do not need to install ActiveReports itself on your client, only make sure that you are deploying the ActiveReports assemblies with your application. if you are having any issues please contact us at http://activereports.grapecity.com and we would gladly resolve the issue for you.
Found the mistake I was doing.
Actually I had put licenses.licx file in the subdirectory of the project while it should be in the same directory of the project and so I was not generating its exe.licenses file and so did not work.
Once I changed the location of licx file it worked!
Thanks!
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.
For .net 3.5 SP1, Microsoft have the new client profile which installs only a subset of .net 3.5 SP1 on to Windows XP user's machines.
I'm aware of how to make my assemblies client-profile ready. And I've read the articles on how to implement an installer for ClickOnce or MSI.
But I've been using Inno Setup for my project so far and I'd like to continue to use it (as an Express user, I can't easily make MSIs), I need to know how to use the client-profile installer in a custom environment.
There is an article on a Deployment.xml schema, but no indication of how to write one, package it or anything else. Can someone explain this process? Finding the articles I linked to alone was a painful search experience.
Microsoft has now shipped the Client Profile Configuration Designer (Beta).
This designer lets you edit the XML files with some limitations, this isn't a 'Google beta' by any means.
Information and download
Can you clarify: Are you trying to write an installer for your app, which depends on the Client-Profile, or are you trying to write a custom installer for the client-profile?
I haven't used it personally, but if it's anything like the dotnetfx 1 and 2 msi's, you basically have to just invoke it's executable yourself from your own .exe file, or from an Msi BEFORE the InstallExecuteSequence starts up - you can't "embed" those in your own app, MS go out of their way to tell you not to do that due to suckage of MSI.
Client profile works only on clean XP. If your user as .Net 1 or 2 installed, client profile wont install...
You have an offline version (integrating Full .Net3.5 Install in case Client Wont install) 200 to 300Mo don't remember
Online version will get required files.
You can call a silent install from the first steps of your install.
