SAP License after copyback

Hi
I have built a test system from a copyback of our DEV system so I can test applying the latest support packs, before doing them on our proper landscape.
The test  system has the same SID as our DEV system, but is on a different server, I installed a temp license, but then had to go working away for a few weeks, when I returned the temp license had expired, I can get on as SAP* but no other user as expected.
I requested a new license for the test system from SAPNET, but when I registered the test system, it has a different system number to the DEV system, so the license is invalid when I try to use it , the license information is all the same for the test system, apart from the HARDWARE key has changed, do I have to change the hardware key registered on SAPNET for our proper DEV system, to get a valid license for the new test system?
We are running ECC5 on MS/SQL.

Hi Sunil
The reason I wanted to keep the same SID is that I am testing applying support packs to the DEV environment, so I wanted TADIR entries etc to be the same as the DEV system, we are halfway through a european implementation, so access to DEV downtime is limited, so I wanted to apply support packs to a test environment not in the TMS landscape, so i could get an idea on timings and SPAU/SPDD  problems before applying the support packages to the real landscape.
I thought the best way would be to generate a new license key for the current DEV system, after changing the Hardware key on SAPNET, I just wanted to make sure this would not affect the actual DEV system, invalidating the proper license, as I do not want the proper DEV system affected by licensing the new TEST system.
Once I've tested the support packs, I will be deleting the test system, as its on a borrowed server !!! so its just a temporary change, I had hoped to do all this on the TEMP license, but as soon as it was built, I was sent to work elsewhere !!!

  • Install SAP license after 30 days expired

    Dear all,
    I forgot to install SAP license, and kinda let it slip. Today when I come to office I see that my SAP J2EE Server won't run, as my license has expired. Naturally, I cannot login to Visual Administrator. I have tried to install license via command prompt, but I receive the following error:
    C:\>saplicense -install
    SAPLICENSE (Release 700) ERROR ***
        ERROR:   Can not set DbSl trace function
        DETAILS: DbSlControl(DBSL_CMD_IMP_FUNS_SET) failed with return code 20
        RC-INFO: error loading dynamic db-library - check environment for:
                 dbms_type = <db-type>  (e.g. ora)
                 DIR_LIBRARY = <path to db-dll>  (e.g. /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run)
    How do I go about fixing that error? I also know that there is SAP emergency user, just for this case, but I do not know what is userid/password, and where and how should I use it to install permanent license.
    FYI: My system is SAP NW 7.0 SP14 running on Oracle DB, all installed locally on Windows machine.
    Please assist.
    Thank you,

  • 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 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

  • Between SAP Licenses and Employee Records Realtinship

    Hi Experts
    <u>The Scenario of the issue is as below.</u>
    <b>SAP Licenses held by the company is -- numbers.
    And the employee records including PD(appraisal),PA  & OM exceeds the allowed records numbers.</b>
    Qn1 Whats the realtion between SAP license and records ?
    Qn2 How to go about in this scenario?
    Qn3. Should i prioritise the existance of records in appraisals and delete the least priority after consulting the client?anyway OM & PA records should not be deleted.
    Please throw some light on the issue.

    Abhilash,
    Usually the SAP Licenses are with respect to named users and their rights to the system....
    If you have N licences of various types and M employees accessing SAp ( M > N ) then it will be an issue .. usually for services like ESS - you have a licence called employee user and for more access you have professional licenses etc...
    You could check the type of licenses that the company has and the number of licenses of each type and also the Contract signed with SAP as to the licensing policy..

    Hope it helps...

  • Use of SAP license mechanism is no longer mandatory

    Partner-developed add-ons are no longer required to use the SAP license mechanism.  Although the SAP license mechanism is still available to those partners who would like to use it, the use of the mechanism is no longer required.  Partners who wish to use their own license mechanism instead of SAPu2019s are welcome to do so.  Partners developing any add-on solution are strongly encouraged to apply for a namespace from SAP, which helps prevent conflicts between partner products.

    Hello,
    I am software developer working for a small company that uses SAP BO 2005A in the finance and sales department.
    I recently discovered the SAP SDK installed on our machines (server and PC's), and after some research and looking at people's sample code here, I have successfully written a small Visual Basic application that could create Sales Orders automatically, saving the company time not having to do the manual entry.
    Would anyone know if I would be breaking any SAP contract or agreement if I was to run my little application ?
    Do I need to be accredited to use the SDK?
    Much appreciated.

    Hi Abhilash,
    As rightly said by Suresh Licence has nothing to do with Records/Employees. Licences are meant for the users who maintain these records in SAP.
    You can have 1000 employees with those many records but can have 1 licence for the user who maintains it.

  • SAP license woes

    Hi-
    I can't seem to get this NW4 Demo license to last longer than a couple weeks.  Although it says it will expire 2-16-2006, it keeps locking up the "developer" account (and giving some license check error), whereas the sap* account always works.  Anyway, my sap license administration has two installed license.  One is a temp license with a "red" State code, the other a license with a valid looking hardware key with a "green" State code.  I can't seem to figure out how to make the developer login last longer than two weeks.  Does anyone know how to make a developer login last longer than two weeks!?
    Also, what is the developer access key?  How do I get one?
    Thanks-
    Kevin

    Hi Kevin,
    After you install NW4 Demo version, in order to do the regular development activities you need a 'Developer key'.
    This developer key will be issued by sap, and  will register the user as a developer in the system.
    Regards,
    Raj

  • Why does BR*Tools return with the error, No Valid SAP license?

    We are using BRTools 640 on HPUX and Oracle 9.2  Now we use BRTools on the other systems where Oracle resides, but when they got installed on this new system it creates the error:  Invalid SAP license.
    There is no SAP installed on any of the systems.  I am coming into the middle of this and have sratched my head over it until I am now balder than I was before. 
    The ora<SID> user is there and so is the <SID>adm.  The directories are ok with the correct rights and permissions.  So what am I missing?  I know it has to be something that I am missing.  Any help out there?
    Thanks,
    David

    Hi Ravinder,
    No this did not resolve the issue.  Here is what happen. 
    Implemented note 586618 and then completed the semophore part.  That worked as is it should.  Then tired a simple BRARCHIVE and this is what I got:
    BR0002I BRARCHIVE 6.40 (36)

    BR0005I BRARCHIVE terminated with errors
    This is somewhat irritating because as you I though and you probably did also, note 584418 should have fixed it.
    I have searched the OSS, but to no avail..so if you have any suggestions it would be appreciated.  The really weird thing is it works on other systems.  I think something is just missing and I am just too blind right now to see it.

  • Read SAP table data outside of SAP, without a SAP license

    Hello all,
    I have been asked to allow people within my company to directly access vendor information, but of course they don't want to purchase a SAP license.
    Yes, yes, I know that directly reading from SAP tables at the Oracle database level is generally frowned upon.
    I can envision creating an external application that presents the user with a screen of searchable fields, uses these fields to create SQL for the oracle tables LFA1, LFB1, ADRC, and ADR6, and returns a report of vendors that match the selection criteria.  The report could have drill down capability to give additional detail per vendor  This application would be executed with a user that has read only table access to the aforementioned tables.
    I just started to use the Oracle tool SQL Developer for a project that has nothing to do with SAP and that gave me the idea I described in the previous paragraph.
    Is anyone doing something like this?  Or what other methods are being used to allow on demand access to SAP tables, without a SAP license . 
    We are using SAP Enterprise Edition  version 4.7and Basis 620.
    Thanks
    Bruce

    Hello,
    You can use an RFC to extract data from SAP.
    Depending on the language you can extract data, for example if it is on .NET, you can use the .Net SAP conector, and create a RFC function on SAP, that returns the data you need.
    To extract the data you will need a valid SAP user and password.
    Hope this helps

    E payment should be enabled so that the user could make payment directly from SAP and after the payment is verified ,approved and authorized by the concerned users responsible the payment should be electronically transferred to the payee’s bank account through our bank.

    Thanks,
    I usually use the OS connection option. So as you suggest, connect without the ISP connection software.  Doing so does not by-pass the sudo command being active in Activity Monitor however. 
    On reading my post I see my failure to link the concerns of the laptop purchase with the sudo and modem. My thought here is of an intersection of known vulnerability with this widely used modem/software (via permanent sudo process activated) and that vulnerability then being known and utilised by another party(s).
    I am pursuing the issue in part with consideration to a broader possible issue of vulnerability.
    Thanks again for your thoughts and suggestions. Valued.

  • How to triger SAP workflow after save in t-code RMWB

    Dear friends,
    After execute t-code RMWB, I could click save button to save it. but my requirement is to triger the SAP workflow to send an email.
    My question is, how to triger this SAP workflow after clicking save in t-code RMWB?
    Thanks a lot!

    Use this function module in a Exit or BADI or Enhancement spot during SAVE
    SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW
    I THINK IT CAN BE DONE BY CREATING A SPOT IN "CALL METHOD GO_APPL->MO_RMWB->SAVE" IN PROGRAM OF RMWB

  • 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.
