How to migrate Google Colab pro subscription to another account I have? - google-colaboratory

I wanted to subscribe to Colab Pro with one of the accounts I had.
But when I was subscribing I didn't notice that I was switched automatically to the default account.
I just want to use Colab pro on the other account I have, since all my data are on the other drive.
Do you have an idea how to solve this?

How to activate Dataiky DSS Free Edition in different computers with the same account

I have created a Dataiku DSS Free Edition account. I have worked in many projects in a computer, but now I need to use the same account from a new PC. When initiating Dataiku Launcher in this new PC, the program asks if I have a DSS license file. The answer is no, because, as reported in Dataiku documentation, "If you use the Free Edition, the license is automatically generated when you fill out the form the first time you start the product, and never needs updating."
Yet, if I select the "no" option,it asks me to create a new account. But of course, I need to work on the existing projects in my account. How can I achieve this?

How to permanently upload files onto Google Colab such that it can be directly accessed by multiple people?

My friend and I are working on a project together on Google Colab for which we require a dataset but we keep running into the same problem while uploading it.
What we're doing right now is uploading onto drive and giving each other access and then mounting gdrive each time. This becomes time consuming and irritating as we need to authorize and mount each time.
Is there a better way so that the we can upload the dataset to the home directory and directly access it each time? Or is that not possible because we're assessed a different machine(?) each time?
If you create a new notebook, you can set it to mount automatically, no need to authenticate every time.

Why does Google Colab say I have too many sessions?

I'm trying to run two notebooks on Google Colab but could only connect one notebook at a time to the virtual machine. There's a pop-up message saying "Too many sessions. You have too many active sessions. Terminate an existing session to continue." when I click the "connect" button on the second notebook. Does anybody know why?
Screenshot:
Edit: I'm using Google Chrome on Windows 10
Edit March 3, 2020: I ended up not using Colab that day, but I came back the next day and was able to run two Colab notebooks just fine. strange. I had this issue a couple of times since I posted this question, but the error disappeared the following day.
I am used to use it with 2 active sessions. I mean, it gives that error when I try to connect for the third notebook. Today, however, I could only connect 1 notebook at a time. It does not permit the second connection. Therefore, the limit changes time to time.
I have the same problem and I found my solution in this issue. I change the Runtime Shape to Standard in the 2nd notebook, it worked for me.
Try this:
Go to Menu "Runtime" > "Manage Sessions", you should see a list of active sessions. Terminate those you don't need. Although you think you are opening only 2 notebooks, some previous sessions may still linger around if you just close the browser tab.
Note: However, when I hit the problem today, I did the above to check, and I have only 1 other session. Usually, I am able to run up to 3 separate sessions. I am not sure if google is dynamically adjusting this based on overall demand. I also suspect ever since they introduce the Pro, priorities may be given to subscribers.
Im not sure but may be collab provides services to a account one at a time..

Google Colab User Actvity

Is there a way to check how many people are using google colab at the same time you are?
I tried to look up via google and other sources and couldn't find any concrete information regarding the number of Users using the GPU at once.
No, there's no way to view overall Colab usage.
You could add analytics reporting to individual notebooks using Python APIs like this one:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v4/quickstart/service-py
But, that would only report usage for users of a given notebook who execute code rather than users of Colab overall.

Can not create local user account that allows login anymore

I am trying to create some local user accounts in Windows 10 on my home PC. I can go through the wizard ok, but when I try to login to the accounts I get a message similar to 'user profile service failed the logon'.
The whole story is this:
I want to add a SSD drive to my system (Dell Tower, I do not remember the model). So following some advice, it was suggested to move my user files to another drive so the SSD drive would only have the OS and programs on it. Plus this would keep my SSD required size smaller.
So I started to move my user files using the "Location" tab for the "My Documents" and similar folders to my other drive. This all appeared to work okay.
I then selected my wife's folders but I could not since I was not logged under her account, fine. I logged out of my account and attempted to log into her account (we both have administrator rights). That is when I received the 'user profile failed' message.
I have third account on the system, another admin account, and it too failed. Windows seems to be accepting the passwords, just failing further into the login process.
I logged back into my account and my desktop is completely different, there are only 3 icons there now instead of the ~20 I had before, so something with the 'move' failed? I'm not sure. I moved the files back to the default location and that did not help. I googled the 'user profile service failed' message and it seems this happens often enough that there are fairly detailed instructions about how to fix it.
The one fix was to examine the registry (this was from support.mircosoft.com) HLM\Software\Microsoft\windows nt\CurrentVersion\ProfileList and 'simply' remove the '.bak' suffix from entries that match the accounts that are broke. Set some other values to 0. In my case the values were not present in the values list.
I did this and it did not help. I did reboots at various times throughout this process, but those did not help either....
So I tried to create a new account(s), but no matter how I created the account I could never log into the account. Right now, I have only one account that I can log into.
I have not tried the "net user" command as I have just found some information about here at work. I did have to use that program to reset my account's password recently. I have used the same password at home for years, so I do not know how it changed. Luckily, my wife's account still worked at that time and it was an administrator account. So maybe that was some indication that the 'user subsystem' was failing in someway.
This PC is seldom connected to the Internet, only for Windows updates or downloading a program, like "Open Office", Paint.Net type of things. We mainly use an older XP machine for computer work and a tablet for surfing the 'net. The computer is 'new' to us and we have not migrated our files to it. In fact the PC is seldom used at all and powered off for months at a time. I am pretty much the only person that even uses the system, my wife went through a "Dummy's for Windows 10" book and decided it was too different to really bother with learning a whole new thing.
I will try 'net user' tonight to add another account and see if that helps.
Thanks for any hints or suggestions.
I'm not 100% sure what's happened, but it looks like the accounts are probably corrupted. You can do it, but Windows much prefers to have the user profiles on the same drive as the installation itself. Moving them entirely may be the cause of the issue.
(For future reference, If you want to copy user accounts across to a new SSD, it's always best to start here: C:\Users\xxxxx). xxx being your userID. If you would like to use it as your primary C:Drive for Windows - I would advise just a clean install.
You could try a couple of things at this point. (Make sure you're connected to the internet if you can)
First, try just making sure your connected to the internet and run all the updates you can. The profile service may just be corrupted and Win10 especially might just need an internet connection to sort it automatically.
Try booting into recovery mode, and run a system restore back a few days. The files may not return but it might fix the profile issues.
If you can still login to your wifes profile, use this tool (after backing up your files) to clear out all the old profiles.
Net user will likely just enable the hidden admin account, and would not be all that useful if your wife's account is already and administrator.
