Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    windows CAL licence for Alpha anywhere application server!

    Is there any body here to help me to find it out whether there is any requirement of "CAL licence" for windows server?
    As Network Administrator told me for my server I just have Web Server licence and if Alpha anywhere application server needs any "CAL licence" I will be in trouble in terms of licence issue.
    So, Guys, is there any body to know about windows licence staff and be able to guide me through it?

      I don't know for sure if you will need an MS "CAL" license if you are self-hosting. But I don't think so. AFAIK you just need the OS.

        No one has mentioned CALS in the last half dozen years here so I am pretty sure they are not involved in setup.

          A so called CAL is a shortcut for Client Access Licence. You need this by example you have outlook on your desktop and Exchange installed on your server, second example you have a office with several Windows Desktop and you store documents like Word,Excel directly onto the file server.

          In case of the AlphaAnyWhere Web Application Server as Peter mentioned it is a standalone product as of today. That has been the way to publish you apps to the world even with the launch of AA plugin in that will not change. If anybody told you otherwise like "The Alpha Sales Team Australia" you should put your claim there. Sorry to hear and read that you got the wrong information, I suggest you contact that Sales team and ask again

            Re: windows CAL licence for Alpha anywhere application server!

            5 – Do I need a CAL when my Windows Server is used to run a web server?

            Windows Server 2012 R2 configured to run Web Workloads ** do not require CALs or External Connectors. Web workloads, also referred to as an internet web solution, are publically accessible (e.g. accessible outside of the firewall) and consist only of web pages, web sites, web applications, web services, and/or POP3 mail serving. Access to content, information, and/or applications within the internet web solution must be publically accessible. In other words, they cannot be restricted to you or your affiliate’s employees.

            If you have Windows Servers configured to run a “web workload” these users will not require CALs or External Connectors. However, let’s say you are using Windows Server to setup an online store where customers can buy widgets. You have front end Windows Servers setup to support your website, and backend servers (e.g. commerce servers) setup so customers can check out and buy your widgets. The front end servers used to host your website would generally be considered as running “web workloads” and CALs or External Connectors will not be required to access these servers. Once the customer adds a widget to their shopping cart, creates an account and enters their credit card and shipping information to complete the sale – they are now authenticated via your back end commerce servers/application (non-web workload). Since users are accessing the backend commerce servers which web workloads are not running – CALs or External Connectors will be required for users to access these back end servers.

              Re: windows CAL licence for Alpha anywhere application server!

              Thanks all to help .

              Michael , this is the scenario : users after loging in to web site can check some reports or insert some data in the application . and the application will insert those information to the MS SQL.
              Now! the connection between application and SQL is like what you said (I mean it is non-web workload?) and I need CAL in this case ?

              sorry to ask again . I just want to make it clear for myself .
