Clarification in ESS User Licensing
Dear All,
Greetings!
We are to implement ESS in a R3 4.7 Ext 1.10 system through ITS and SAP NW EP 6.0/SP21.
ESS Users will be using the portal system to verify their personal details and other functionalities. I have used SSO and User Mapping.
As per the settings the user created in the Portal System also needs to be created in the R3 system with the same user name as a dialog user. When I tried creating the user as a communication user I was not able to connect to my R3 backend system from portal using the defined communication user.
Is this because of some configuration problems in SSO and User Mapping or such a scenario is not
possible?
I have a series of questions,
1. If a user is created in R3 and Portal system only with ESS roles, should the user be allowed to login to the R3 system (or) the user logging-in to R3 system violates the ESS license?
2. If the ESS user ids are created in both the R3 and Portal systems, how will the license be calculated?
3. Is there a possibilty of maintaining the R3 ESS user id's as a communication user and not allowing them a login through SAP Logon GUI?
Kindly advice if I am wrong.
Expecting your replies at the earliest.
Thank you
Regards,
Vineeth
hi
ESS License and SAP R/3 License are different. So if you have e.g. 1000 ESS license and 500 SAP r/3 license, so in total you can have 1500 ESS users in an organisation as the 500 SAP r/3 license will work as ESS users by default. So users from departments like Lisioning, Legal and Admin, to whom you don't want to give access to SAP R/3, you can assign ESS or MSS role accordingly through which they can access ESS MSS services without access to R/3.
But before my strong confirmation I would like to speak with Sales/SAP Concerned person.

User Licensing for Approvers in GRC AC 5.3
Hi all
I am looking for some clarification regarding the user licensing.
In CUP, we have managers who will need AEApprover role to approve the user requests.
In our case, we have SAP EP as the single point of entry to the application (both ECC & GRC AC). Also
some of the managers who are involved in the approval process (in CUP) do not need access to the ECC backend system.
So managers only need an entry in the AD(LDAP) which is the datasource for SAP EP, GRC AC. This means that GRC UME (authentication system for CUP) is the only place where the managers user profile are maintained.
Will these managers be accounted for SAP licenses?
My answer is No. The managers will not be accounted for SAP (prof/ limited prof) license cost as they do not have any access to the ECC system. All users in GRC system will be accounted for GRC AC licensing ( which is based on the operating budget of the organazation)
Appreciate if you can confirm whether my understanding is correct.
Thanks
KeerthikaClosing the request as this has been answered in the forum and I got a confirmative answer from SAP too..
Rationale:
GRC users dont count for SAP ECC license unless they have a dialog user account in the ECC system.
Thanks

Portal ESS users without R/3 accounts
Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the correct category to post this question, if not, please advise as where would be the most appropriate place to post this question.
I would like to create portal users (EP 6.0 on WAS 6.40 SP15) for ESS access but the users do not have SAP R/3 accounts (4.7)... is this possible, if so, what would be the best steps to accomplish this.
Thank you.
EloyHi Eloy,
I'm afraid Arun has a point there.
Even though the users from ECC and Portal are different, the ESS iviews get their information from the backend, in our case ECC, through the Jco connections.
We started out by the same thought you had, but we reached a point where we had to connect the Portal users to the ECC employees and there was no escaping from it.
The license is different tho, even though our users are in both systems, the ESS users can only access their information through the Portal and can't get into the SAP GUI. I couldn't give you more details about it cause I'm not sure how it works either.
Hope it helps.

Dear all,
We are planning to go for EP implementation. We are having component My SAP ERP. Do we need to pay any extra for EP? We are having 1500 user license for ESS. Can we use same in EP also???
I need to connect to R/3 and BW from EP. If any user not having user id in R/3 or BW, how can i connect to R/3 or BW?? Do we need to have user id in R/3 compulsory if we need to connect to R/3??
Thanks in advance,
Chandra.Hi Chandra,
You have to get licence for ur SAP WebAs 6.40 J2EE system and Portal system by regestring it at service.sap.com. i don't exactly know about extra cost.
u can write a customer message to SAP.
u can use ur licensed user in EP.
u can map many portal user to one R3 user but if u can use ESS than it is not adviseable.
if u have further query revert me back.

Hi,
Does anyone can help us out with Oracle User Licensing.
We have most of the users as iExpense user or requisition users, means they use oracle only for entering their expense report or creating requisition. Does anybody have clarity that whether we still need oracle license for them?
Or is their any mini/small kind of license for these group of employees?
Say in a company of 5000 employees, only 200 uses oracle but do we need to buy lincese for all 5000, since we have to provide them iexpense responsibility for their expense report?
Any clarification on this matter is highly appreciated.
Thanks,Thanks Srini for your quick reply.
Before we go to Sales rep, we wanted to see if some companies have negotiated for iExpense user or temp user rates.
It will not make sense to buy the licence for 5000 users when only 200 are active users and 4800 are only iexpense or requisition users.
If we ask this question to oracle rep, they are bound to try to sell the full license to us.
Have you heard of situation like us anytime? -

Whether a User can have ESS User ID but no R/3 ID
Dear All,
Can U Plz Let Me Know whether a User can Have an ESS User ID but no R/3 ID and in Such a Scenario how would the integration happen between ESS and R/3.Also in Such a Scenarios What Would be the Effect on ESS Licences and R/3 Licences.
Thanks & Regards,
Punam JhaPunam, yes, you could manage Portal's Users by using windows users (i mean from Active Directory) or even maintain directly in Portal (Portal Users).
But, in order to work with information from your ERP about an employee, you need to do any mapping with SAP.
You could do a mapping against SAP with a different user that your Portal user (i mean with different name), by storing the user ID for the ABAP backend system in the user properties.
[Check this link: User Mapping|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f8/3b514ca29011d5bdeb006094191908/frameset.htm]
Also, i suggest you talk with your Basis the possibility of mappping multiple users to one (i never test this workaround, so be carefully in the tests), but also you must talk with your SAP Agent to ensure you're using the correct number and type of licenses.

Single user license of Snow Leopard on 2 machines then a family user straight to Lion?
I bought a single user license of Snow Leopard and installed it onto an external harddrive so I could boot my machine and check my applications such as Vectorworks 12.5 still work with the new OS.
Now I've done that on both Macs I have at home (MacBookPro 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo and MacMini 1.83 Intel Core Duo), and now installed Snow Leopard properly on the MacMini (i.e. not booting off the external hard disk).
What I am wondering is that rather than purchase a 2nd user license of Snow leopard, if I was going to upgrade straight to Lion anyway, could I install my single license Snow Leopard on each machine, then upgrade both to Lion on a proper family user license given I'm not actually going to be using Snow Leopard if I upgrade to Lion?
thanks.Yes the licence for SL states it can be installed and used on one machine. So if you remove it from the MBP (which you will if you run Lion on it) then there is no reason you can't use it on the Mac Mini.
And just for clarification there is no more Singel User or Family Pack or Family License for Lion. The license allows you to install and run it on as many systems as you own or control. So should you get a Lion compatible system in the future you can use the copy of Lion you now have on it also.

I am using a Mac and have installed Adobe Reader for Mac, latest version. I cannot access the End User Licensing Agreement. I clicked on it and it gives me a message that I must launch Adobe, check that I agree, close and reopen. The problem is I can't find any way to launch Adobe because it appears nowhere on my launch pad, nor in my document files or on the control panel. Because of this, I cannot print bank statements nor can I get into my insurance companies billing department to make a payment. HELP!
How about in your Applications folder?

How to promote Free User to a Team User License on Flash Builder v4.7?
Hi,
Recently, we brought CC Team License. At present whatever the Flash builder 4.7 we installed is a standalone setup i.e; not installed using Creative Cloud.
However, later I installed the CC (as a Free User ID) and the same Flash builder 4.7 is recognized by the CC. But, It was expired now.
Now my question is how this Flash builder normal free user license will be upgraded to CC Team User License?
I know some invite by email from admin console. Does it make any difference for standalone and CC based installations?
Do i have to reinstall the Flash Builder otherwise?It's same with me, i also using Google Nexus 7(2013). Just a simple default apps with nothing created by Flash Builder, it get error and not working！

Can't open a PDF because I get a messge to accept End User License
How do I fix this?-Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.
Hi Jane,
Did you follow the instructions to accept the license?
Regards, Stacy -
I am getting this response when I am trying to open a file: Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.” What do I do? I have opened this up in the past without a problem.
Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -
How to view PDF documents because say you must launch adobe reader and accept the end user license
I have a question about to display the PDF documents, could you tell me how can I display it?, I have this message that say before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser
I've got the same issue and I want to use Preview to read pdfs on Safari. At some point I had Acrobat Reader installed, but deleted it and everything associated with it. However no matter what, I get: "Before launching pdf documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the end user license agreement, then quit and relaunch the browser."
This means I am forced to use Reader, when I don't want to. There seems no way to default to Preview to read pdfs on Safari, even after deleting Adobe Reader completely.
Anyone have a clue how to fix this? -
Acrobat Pro XI problem+Accept End User License Agreement when opening a PDF inside IE
Hi folks, this issue has been challenging.
Acrobat Pro CC install
W7 X64
Deployment went ok after the code was worked out, but.....
We use Desire to Learn content management system at the community college where I maintain the student computers at. When running D2L and a PDF has been embedded in some course material, I am getting the message below and the PDF won't open.
“Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement" .
The only fix so far is to run up Acrobat Pro and run the program once. Fine and dandy, but we are looking at 700+ machines to clear in this fashion. The other part of this scenario we we also utilize Respondus Lockdown Browser to invigilate exams through D2L. Because of the "lock down" features, the student can't even get back to the desktop to run Acrobat and clear the message.
I have tried a number of GPO entries to no avail. As well, disabled the IE PDF viewer add-on. I ran Procmon with no results either; .
I have been scouring the Googlemachine and building on the GPO below to get around the issue with no results. I am hoping someone with a sharper eye than I can spot something or point me in the correct direction..
Thanks eh.
