SAP License key

Dear All,
We have an issue with system number in our production system.
We have generated SAP license key for production during our SAP implimentations. But after that due to some major problem we have again reinstall SAP system and regenerate SAP License key. Now both the SAP License key has different system number. Old one license key we have deleted from SAP Supprt portal.
How can change the system number in my landscap as per the registered with SAP Support portal.
Can I delete existing license from my SAP System and reinstall latest downloded key ?
Thanks in advance,
Nirav

Well you should have ordered the new license under the same system.
Can I delete existing license from my SAP System and reinstall latest downloded key ?
Yes, that is what you have to do now. If your installation number changed, then you will have to delete the old licenses first. Then you will be able to install the new license.
Cheers Michael

SAP License Key configuration procedure in Web AS(J2EE)

Hi,
We installed Web AS 6.4 (J2ee). It is running on temporary license and going to expire in one week time. I applied for license key and got the permanent license key as a text file attachment through email. It is a simple text file containing the license key, system NR and etc. I saved that text file into my machine.
I tried to configure that license file into Web AS using visual administrator.
Server 0 --> Services --> Licensing Adapter --> Install License from file
I selected the text file which was sent by SAP to my mail.
It is giving error like
License file C:\(license file name).txt contains an incorrect SAP license key: Header or empty line expected.
License key(s) not completely installed.
I don't know what to do now. I think we can do through this through cmd. But I don't know how to do that.
Shall I delete the temporary license? Will the system allow me to enter the value manually.
Can any one guide me on this?
Thanks.

Srikishan,
I am getting error lilke this.
D:\usr\sap\SID\SYS\exe\run>saplicense -install

Any idea about it?
I set the system variable like
dbms_type = mss
DIR_LIBRARY = D:\usr\sap\SID\SYS\exe\run
But still getting the error.
Do I need to set dbms_type in environment variables? I don't know it's value. My db is MS SQL DB.
Thanks.

SAP license key error: no valid license found: cannot log into SAP GUI

I deleted temp license from slicense on SM box, since I had already installed new digital license from SAP. Well, later I tried to log in again and was locked out. After some research, I found "sap license check failed" in the log files, java will not come up, and the hardware key has changed on me, so the valid license that was active before is not showing up now.
I applied for a new license with new hardware key and attempted to install from cmd prompt, using saplicense -install ifile=c:license.txt, but it gets an error. I put a trace on it and appears it cannot read license file key. I also tried to install another temp license, but that failed since no other previous valid license was found. At this point, I'm thinking I need to manually insert the license key into the database, but not sure what table or exactly how. SAP has not provided a solution yet.
I believe the hardware key changed due to renaming the server (we took out a hyphen in name) and had also reinstalled afterwards.
Has anyone else run into this issue?

Yes, I wish it were that simple, but I cannot even bring up the logon screen. SAP GUI returns a message, resource temporarily unavailable. I looked in SAP MMC syslog and found several entries, "SAP-Basis System: No license found for hardware ID DLIC_HWIDKE"
I tried to install temp license from cmd prompt, but it says refuses and says no old or expired license found. I also tried to install the new license I applied for from SAP with new hardware key using saplicense -install ifile=license.txt and that failed as well.
For NW2004s, is it even possible to install a digital license using cmd prompt?

Sap license keys for Test Landscape

Hi,
Sap R/3 Enterprise - 4.70
We have created a test Sap Landscape for testing Backup & Recovery. We are experiencing licensing issue when trying to log onto the test Landscape because the hardware key has changed.
We have raised calls with Sap, but as yet have not provided a working solution.
What would happen if I generated a new license on Sap Market Place for the test hardware as a temporary Measure?
Would it cause problems with our Production systems, because the license key on Sap Market place would not match the one installed on our productiion system?

Thanks for your advise, but my Sid is the same. We have build a full test landscape, on a different network. I have tried to create a new license on Sap Market place, but this is not possible. I have rang the Sap Help desk - only to be told that I must create a customer message, which I have, but after 3 weeks of trying they still have not found a solution.
I was just wondering what problems I would have if I changed my Live details on Sap marketplace to the test machine details - just so that I can generate a new license key, and then change it back. Don't know what implications this would have?
Regards
Vickie

Error when installing new license key

Hi, I am trying to install the license key for the Netweaver 7.01 Basis Test system with saplicense -install ifile=NSP.txt and am getting the following error message:
SAPLICENSE (Release 701) ERROR ***
     ERROR: Can not set DbSl trace function
     DETAILS: DbSlControl(DBSL_CMD_IMP_FUNC_SET) failed with return code 20
                     dbms_type = <db-type> (e.g. ora)
                     DIR_LIBRARY = <path to db-dll> (e.g. usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run)
Thanks for any help you can give.
The original license expired and I cannot log into the system any more so I can't use SLICENSE.

Hi,
Have you got the SAP License key by providing its relative proper Hardware key ? if its required get a new SAP License key again with its relative hardware key at SAP Service Market Place, , and apply it again by login with sap* user in client.
The variables DIR_LIBRARY & dbms_type are set correctly for the user Under which you are installing SAP license?
Have you tried the same activity with new Saplicense executable for 701 release ? Download new saplicense from SMP and try again.
Also do this at last.... Set your system date back to a date when the sap license was valid.... then reStart the system, log on to SAP client, go to transactoin SLICENSE, apply the new license using license file, verify the license application & then log off, change system date back to current date, and re-start sap system. The same activity you can do at command level also.

SAPNW2004s Java incorrect license key:empty line expected

i installed SAPNW2004s Java trial version.but WebAs shutdowns every 30 mins. I searched and found that reason is license problem.
When i try to upload license text (MBS.txt) with visual administrator.I get error say that "incorrect SAP license key :header or empty line expected".
How to get over this issue?
Best Regards...
MBS file like this
# Installation of the license key
# Script for release 4.5A and higher
# saplicense -install [ifile=...]
# Database: MSSQLSRV
# Release: SAP R/3 4.6C
SAPSYSTEM = MBS
CUSTOMER-KEY = XXXXXXXXXXX
INSTNO = DEMOSYSTEM
EXPIRATION = 20081020
LKEY = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

That file is for MiniSAP version and not for NSP...NSP license is no longer provided on the licenses page...Must wait for Official SAP News.
Greetings,
Blag.

Installing license key in CE1 ( Type Release Updated )

Hi,
Because this is a JAVA only system, I only know two ways to obtain the Hardware key, needed to get a SAP license key from http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/minisap/minisap.htm.
Via `saplicense.exe -get, which is not possible because saplicense.exe is not there. I look for it on every disk on the system. So it was really not there.
The download of the database independent part of a kernel, from the SAP Service Marketplace.solved this, ( downloads Support Packages and Patches"u00A0SAP NetWeaver"u00A0SAP NETWEAVER"u00A0SAP NETWEAVER 2004S"u00A0Entry by Component"u00A0Application Server ABAP -->SAP KERNEL 7.00 32-BIT -> #Database independent -> Windows Server on IA32 32bit In this file is a working saplicense.exe.
Via the Visual Administrator. There is no directory D:\usr\sap\CE1\J01\j2ee\admin directory,
so I don't know how to start the Visual Administrator
To install the license key file I also need a Visual Administrator. Or is there another way to install the license file from |SAP?
Kind regards, Edwin Slee

Hi,
I faced a problem, which required me to install the licence (on M36). I was searching for how to do it, came across this link.
I did it through netweaver adminitration. http://localhost/nwa/licenses --> install license --> browse your license file and add.
Hope this helps.

J2E License Key File With Changed System Number

Hello,
During the last weeks, there had been some trouble according to the sneak preview licensing web site to get a new license key for special SAP systems like J2E, NSP etc.
In the meantime, I used especially for my J2E instance via visual admin the button "install subsequent temp license" with success.
Returning anew to the web site today, I saw that now we are able again to renew the license key for our trial systems and ordered successfully license keys for J2E and NSP instance.
Because both systems have got new system numbers, I deleted the expired license key for NSP via saplicense -delete. Then I installed regularly the given new license key with success.
After starting the J2E instance, I tried to delete the existing active license (see above) via installed licenses getting a message which let me stop my try to delete the license because I feared for to get trouble with the system afterwards.
The exact text of the warning trying to delete the existing active license sounds:
DELETE J2EE-Engine_ADA License:
You are about to delete the license for the J2EE-Engine. This may lead to a shutdown of the running system. You will not be able to start the J2EE-Engine again without a valid license. Do you really want to proceed?
Trying to install the given license from file (via General), I got the informational message:
This system's system number is "xyz", but there is a license key for the system number "abc" in file path\J2E.txt. License key file path\J2E.txt doesn't contain any valid SAP license keys.
License key(s) not completely installed.
That was to be expected...
So my questions are:
1) What is to do when I want to implement the new given license key file which has another system number as the existing active one.
2) How often can I use the possibility to prolong my active license via button "Install subsequent temp. license" in future without falling in trouble?
Thank you for your answers.
Regards
Christian

Before deleting the J2EE engine license, check the "Installed Licenses" tab and verify that there is another J2EE-engine license with Validity "Valid" and within a satisfactory date range. Only under this situation will I feel comfortable with removing the additional/expired licenses.
Your original message is a bit confusing ... let me see if I got it correctly. You have been running your J2EE instance with temp licenses, because there was some issues w/ preview licensing on SAP's web site. Now that you have finally received your preview license, you wish to install it.
But since then, your system number has changed. Do you mean system ID? Since your example used a 3 character ('xyz' vs 'abc'). I think the SID is what you mean. Because changing system number will not require a new license, but changing the SID will.
So now you have the following.
1. J2EE running on temp license with SID 'xyz'
2. A new preview license for SID 'abc'
What you need to do is:
1. Request from SAP preview license for the SID that matches your system 'xyz'. OR, change the SID of your system from 'xyz' to 'abc', which is not recommended ...especially w/ AS-JAVA.
2. Install the new preview licenses.
3. Verify preview licenses are valid.
4. I don't believe you have to remove the temp licenses, it's overwritten when you install the permanent preview licenses.
