Pentaho 5.3.00 Installation to a client Work station - kettle

I am trying to get Pentaho version 5.3 installed on my workstation laptop. My company has the Enterprise edition. What licences do I have to get? Can I get copy of licenses from another client work station or I have to get a copy from original server machine? Can I install the 3.5 edition online and then add the licenses files? or I have to request from system admin to get the pentaho installed?

If your company is using Pentaho EE version, i guess there would be a single license file for all the components based on the subscription. Though i am not sure about your company's policy and licensing, i guess you can use the same license either from client n/w or master server.(note i am assuming you have the permission to use company's license in your local workstation)
I am assuming
installing online
means installing Pentaho in a different server and installing the license. Yes you can do the same. You may read this doc on installing the license.
Hope it helps :)

VMWare ESXi free version 7 upgrade procedure without vcenter

I can't seem to find a procedure on how to upgrade EXSi v7 free version with patches.
The question is twofold
How do I find the relevant patches? The vmware site is far from user friendly
How do I patch the free version of EXSi v7?
Look on this page ; https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/rn/vsphere-esxi-702-release-notes.html
Section: "Patch Download and Installation", you will find informations on how upgrade your esxi without vCenter.
I have done once, a long time ago, you should be sure you can log into your esxi, copy vib files on it, place your esxi in maintenance mode, execute your command. You should read the full procedure on VMware website to be sure.
You can also reinstall with a VMware ISO of esxi 7, it will ask you if you want to reuse your old datastores or delete them. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.esxi.upgrade.doc/GUID-77D42D81-F47E-4FE9-B4B2-B15AB16C9C1A.html

SAS SID for Server

I am installing SAS and have a valid license, for Windows Workstation.
I found the following at the link below:
The operating system value in the SAS installation data file (SID
file) does not have to match the operating system of the machine that
SAS is installed on as long as the SAS client application is part of
the order that you are using.
http://support.sas.com/kb/49/003.html
Does this mean there is some way to change the SID file to allow this license to install on Windows Server? If so, how?
You need a server license to install on a server - ask your administrator or SAS Support (be aware that server licenses are much more expensive!)
The page you're linking here is not related to Base SAS but to SAS client applications, when used in a client-server relationship. This would be something like Enterprise Guide; something that itself doesn't do the work, but instead submits code to a server which does.
That page is saying that if (for example) you have a server license for SAS, you don't have to have a desktop license to install Enterprise Guide on a desktop. You would have to have a desktop license to install (base) SAS on a desktop, though.

Is vmware vCenter server necessary for esxi + terraform

I am currently investigating terraform, is it possible to create VM with Terraform on Esxi 6 without vCenter Server? Since I only have free version of Esxi 6 installed. Thank you in advance.
I have a provider available that can talk directly to esxi without vcenter.
https://github.com/josenk/terraform-provider-esxi
I figure, that using Terraform, specifically the official vSphere provider without vCenter might be possible, but because Terraform internally uses the govmomi library that in turn uses the vSphere API it is not possible on the free Hypervisor, because it only allows read-only access to the vSphere API.
Hence, you need at least the Essential License and with it comes vCenter.
You can import an image without the APIs.
You can't clone images. Attempting to do so would give you errors such as https://communities.vmware.com/thread/310721?db=5 Can't clone a VM (The operation is not supported on the object").
The next question is if importing is enough. I don't know.
It does require vcenter. Vsphere essentials kit is an inexpensive option for a lab / dev environment setup.

Can I use loopback of version higher than 2.0 on AWS?

I am trying to develop server-side using loopback with database connector.
However, I am quite confused with installing loopback on AWS.
reference for installing loopback on AWS
This website mentioned that only loopback of version 2.0 could be installed.
Yet, when I browse through loopback website, https://strongloop.com/strongblog/how-to-setup-push-notifications-private-mbaas-amazon-aws-part-1/, this website shows that it seems possible to install loopback of version higher than 2.0 on AWS. Since there are some features only available after version 2.1x, it would be nice if AWS allows installation of loopback of version higher than 2.0. Could anyone help me solve the problem? BTW, I am only using free tier of AWS and do not intend to pay at this moment.
Even if you install the image that comes preconfigured with Loopback 2, you should be able to upgrade to newer versions using npm as you normally would (sudo npm install -g strongloop and the like). Imagine if there's a security issue that you'd need that wasn't backported for whatever reason...Loopback is just files and the image is just linux. You have free reign to update/upgrade whatever you need.
My recommendation would be to start out with a minimal Ubuntu image and install everything with npm. You'll understand the ecosystem better and won't be surprised by something you don't remember installing specifically.
One caveat that a bunch of preconfigured images have is they are only available on older instance types (m1 for instance--pun not intended ;)). They are slower and more expensive than newer instances.
You can probably install whatever you want.
The difference is that if you want a machine image that contains everything already there and don't want to build it yourself you're stuck to 2.0 here (https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00PG9I0M0)
What I would do is use the provided AMI and after that upgrade loopback manually.

What's the difference between Coldfusion Developer Edition and Enterprise Edition?

I'm trying to test Coldfusion for learning purposes, but I really don't know what is the aditional features that the non-free Enterprise Edition add to the free Developer Edition.
Thanks!
Legally, Enterprise is for public consumption, and Dev is not.
Practically, this means that the Dev edition (which is the same as the Eval edition after the 30? days) is limited to localhost + 1 IP address. That is, it can serve files to localhost and 1 external IP. This IP can only be reset by restarting the service.
Otherwise, your dev install will mimic an ent install completely.
The developer edition of Adobe ColdFusion Server is limited by IP addresses - only the localhost and 1 other IP address can access the server. Any more, and it will throw license exceptions.
Also, printable items such as documents created with cfdocument and cfpresentation are watermarked with a gigantic diagonal banner over each page.
Otherwise, the dev and enterprise editions both have all the features enabled, including advanced debugging and server monitoring, PDF & FlashPaper generation, advanced gateways, 64 bit CPU support and full database drivers including Oracle - the works.
The Trial edition of ColdFusion is the same as enterprise for 30 days, but then drops to be the developer edition after 30 days - once the license has expired. Do make sure you remember to get your serial number in if you put this on production :)
For reference, see Adobe ColdFusion Editions.
The key is the line: "Used for delivering multiple websites and applications on one or more servers"
The Enterprise Edition allows for deployment for commercial purposes.
The Development Edition allows you to develop locally, but not deploy. The deployment requires Enterprise or Standard editions, or purchasing a hosting solution which handles the licensing for you.
Here you go.
