How the software knows that how many times it has been installed? For example we are installing an ativirus (6 installations allowed for 6 systems),on the seventh installation it will not allow to install. How the software knows that it has been installed 6 times before. Please explain its working..
Regards,
David
Most software leaves a counter buried in the Windows registry, or a hidden file somewhere on the drive, which keeps the install count.
Other software would use online activation, and the activation server keeps track of the count.
There's no "standard" method for this.
a) It is maintaining a server process in your network where each installation will report to once its done.
b) This is the most likely scenario: it is reporting to the AV company's servers on the net which does the validation.

I am trying to create apps, but obviously you can't on windows. I have searched on youtube so many times and I just need a solution. I tried Yosimite on VMware and it told me the virtual CPU would not work. (Also I have access to a mac if needed for install procedure). Thank you!
You can't without running into illegal content like Hackintosh
Please note that Apple allows the use of Mac OS X only on its own devices

Is there a way to get the Windows 10 ISO from Microsoft without installing it? If so, how? I do wish to benefit from the current free upgrade possibility but do am not able to perform the update at the current time, because of lack of free HDD space.
As far as I know, the update tool download the data, in this case Windows 10 at first, and you may install it at a later time. Perhaps it is worth to taking a look at the Microsoft support page.
Media Creation Tool looks like it will do what you want.

Now the XCode is available through app store.
I have a lab setup of around 20 iMacs and XCode size is around 4 GB. Is there any way I can install it one time and using pendrive or drive copy it to other macs and connect/activate/authorize on respective macs.
There has to be some thing.
In some thread I saw that we can download it from connect.apple.com. I logged on and saw the .DMGs. But Xcode 4.4.1.dmg is "1.81GB". How it can be.
I don't have that much bandwidth. 4 GB on 10 systems means 40 GB and the time taken too is imp..
Please Guide.
They've managed to compress Xcode significantly over the last year or so, the .dmg you get from the developer portal will be the way you want to go. It only weighs in at 1.81GB and can be copied to as many computers as you want (provided they are intended to be used by members of the dev program). I just checked on the Mac App Store, and they are distributing Xcode 4.4.1 # 1.6GB.

I have a requirement that I need to restrict my kids from browsing some sites . I want to be the adminbstrator for my machine, but other users have limited access to internet. Is there any software / proxy for this ? i want solution for both windows / linux and mac
My brother managed his daughters' access on Macs like this:
Restrict Safari from going to sites not in the Bookmarks
Only an administrator can create bookmarks
His user is an administrator; theirs aren't.
Kids can be pretty smart, though, and once they're sufficiently motivated to figure out how to get around your access controls it's not worth continuing the arms race.
