Ocean SDK Academic license - ocean

I'm currently studying at HW university, and the topic of my individual project (diploma research) is to develop a petrel plug-in by ocean framework. The aim of that project is to "automatically" locate and configure horizontal wells in particular way. But unfortunately to use ocean sdk a specialized license is needed. Our university has got petrel runtime license, but not the "developer" license. Is it possible to obtain some kind of academic license as it happens for microsoft products at dreamspark ? May be just for some limited period of time ?

You should go to http://www.ocean.slb.com, the Ocean website and use the Contact Us link to provide your request to Schlumberger. You use "HW" to identify your university. If it is Herriot Watt then I can tell you that in the past we gifted Ocean Developer licenses to your organization.

How do I connect Power Virtual Agent to Bot Framework Composer?

I'm trying to use an Adaptive Card I created with Power Virtual Agent via Power Automate. According to the following Microsoft article, I should be able to just click a button on the Topics section of the Power Virtual Agents dashboard, and it'll pop open the Bot Framework Composer, but I don't see this button.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-virtual-agents/advanced-bot-framework-composer#troubleshooting
I have installed the Composer, Emulator, and upgraded .Net in preparation. I've tried multiple browsers to see if, by some slim chance, that was the issue. No luck. According to the Power Virtual Agents blog, this feature became a publicly available preview 11/16/2020.
Am I missing something in the settings or installation that would allow me to connect the two?
Do you have a MS Teams integrated license or a full license or trial? Based on the documentation, a full license is required to access this capability.
Bot Framework Composer integration is not available to users who only have the Teams Power Virtual Agents license. You must have a trial or full Power Virtual Agents license.
There was an issue in January 2021 where the button is not showing up for certain users even though they had a full license. This was resolves on January 21st.

Is it possible to create a vmware vRealize dev instalation?

My company create an IPAM solution, and one of our clients asked us to develop a vRO workflow to provision IPs through vRealize Automation. I'm searching online on how to set a development environment, and all the resources I saw state that you need a vRO installation to develop the plugin itself, it is not enough to have VSC with the vRealize Dev Tools installed. I tried searching for an SDK or just a small vRO installation to use for dev, but only thing I saw on the vmware website was the hands-on lab or the 60 days trial of vSphere, whose links no longer work at all.
Do I need to buy a vRealize Orchestrator license just to develop the plugin?
Thanks for the help
Yes, you have to procure the vRA license to develop the Workflow in vRO; or, you can reach out to vmware: if they agree to your team being a partner, then you will get NOT FOR SALE/Trial license for vRA.
You don't need vRealize Orchestrator license to develop a vRO plugin.
vRO plugin is not the same thing as vRO workflow.
vRO plugin:
vRO workflow:
What you mentioned can be done using vRealize Automation REST API.

Standalone application with Petrel and Ocean

So I am a n00b with the Petrel platform and Ocean SDK. I want to create a standalone application (not a plugin!) that consumes the Ocean SDK to interact with the Petrel projects. One way, I could think of was to create a plug-in that interacts with the app via IPC but is there any other approach that has absolutely no plugin in it.
Thanks
Great to see that you are interested in Petrel and Ocean. Developing standalone applications is not permitted under the Ocean Software Development Framework license agreement. All products developed using the framework must be hosted by Petrel, i.e., they must be plug-ins. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Ocean for Studio API is your solution.
You could develop stand-alone application if you have license to expose your data stored in Petrel Studio. Also, you could call petrel projects function and do something on them.

Where to get Mono support?

It seems to me that with the release of MonoTouch and Mono for Android Mono has gotten a lot more attention and the quality of the Mono runtime has increased significantly through these products offered by Xamarin.
But as it looks Xamarin is only focused on "mobile development" and not on classic Linux development or embedded Linux development. Are there any other companies which offer (commercial) support in this area?
I am a little bit worried because we are planing to develop a large product based on embedded Linux and Mono. Where can I find support if there are any problems?
You should speak to Xamarin. They do offer commercial support for Mono, as per the Mono website:
Commercial Support
Additionally, you could try talking with Lanedo
Miguel de Icaza has stated recently in various interviews and e-mails in mailing list that Xamarin are not offering consulting services outside the Mobile space.
However, Mono is open source, and as such, doesn't have any vendor lock-in. Virtually any opensource-based consulting firm could offer support contracts.
But I guess you want to know people who already have experience in supporting this software stack. Then, you have some particular alternatives:
Sinenomine. This company has been mentioned several times by Miguel de Icaza.
Lanedo. As mentioned by #TheNextMan, this company has done some consulting work for Xamarin too.
Any freelance individual. From time to time, companies requiring consulting just post to the mono mailing list, and they get contacted by potential mono contributors to do work on a contractual basis (an example: me).

New Project in Adobe Air

we are starting a new desktop project and we are evaluating adobe air as our development platform. this is because most our team are flex developers and we want to take advantage of that. but we have several question in order to decide whether or not to use air as a development platform.
How recomended is to use a bridge to
communicate with peripherals through
serial and paralell ports.How can i
communicate air application with my
system database.
There is a well known framework for
object persistence, like hibernate
??. if not, what is the best approach.?
Which are the best approach for our
applications distribution, how can we
deal with product key, product
licenses, etc. What advantage do we
have using AIR MarketPlace ?
Any help you can provide me, to point me in right direction, i will appreciates
Cheers,
system communication via NativeProcesses (since Air 2.0)
Air supports SQLite; from Air you can communicate via RPC or socktes with (for example) a JavaServer with Hibernate
