SAP License Category

Hi Guys,
We have implemented SAP ERP for a Cement Company.
I have question regarding the SAP license for name users.
We have 7 modules HR, FI/CO, PP,PM,QM,SD,MM.
How do we categories users ?
Will all users will be Professional users?
Regards
Abhishek

Hi,
For this you can actually need to see license agreement in which Software Component and User types should be mentioned.
If I am not wrong :
Professional user is the user who is having many change authorizations. For example, company users, BASIS, Developer etc.
Limited Professional is the user who has limited authorizations (read only or 1 change auth.). For example, Contract users.
Technical users are RFC users (communication and system user).
You can also consult with your software vendor to seek help regarding same.
Regards.

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?

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)
BR0006I Start of offline redo log processing: adsweyuy.svd 2006-06-19 14.30.40
BR0925I Public synonym SAP_SDBAH created successfully for table SAPBIX.SDBAH
BR0925I Public synonym SAP_SDBAD created successfully for table SAPBIX.SDBAD
BR0925I Public synonym SAP_MLICHECK created successfully for table SAPBIX.MLICHECK
BR0602E No valid SAP license found - please contact SAP
BR0280I BRARCHIVE time stamp: 2006-06-19 14.30.41
BR0301W SQL error -980 at location BraDbLogOpen-5
ORA-00980: synonym translation is no longer valid
BR0324W Insertion of database log header failed
BR0007I End of offline redo log processing: adsweyuy.svd 2006-06-19 14.30.41
BR0280I BRARCHIVE time stamp: 2006-06-19 14.30.41
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

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
The Scenario of the issue is as below.
SAP Licenses held by the company is -- numbers.
And the employee records including PD(appraisal),PA & OM exceeds the allowed records numbers.
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..

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
SAPLICENSE (Release 640) ERROR ***
 ERROR: Can not set DbSl trace function

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.

Another way is to open a command prompt as nspadm and run saplicense -install
To do this follow the steps below
Click "Start" -> "Run..." and enter:
runas /u:nspadm cmd
Enter nspadm's password. A command prompt appears running as user nspadm. Now change to \usr\sap\nsp\SYS\exe\run and run
saplicense -install
Hope this 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 User Maintenance Against SAP License

Hi Everyone,
I would like to ask for an assistance regarding sap user. This is the scenario: The company has Employee A which was given sap userID with corresponding roles/profiles. Correct me if I'm wrong, the sap license depends also on the number of user in sap system. On this company, they reached the limit of their license according to number of user, for example 400 user. Suddenly, Employee A resigned. New employee came, Employee B which will replace the job doing by Employee A. If we add another userID on sap system, the number of user will be 401 which exceeded the max user based on the license agreement. One way to solve this issue is to delete the userID as well as the profiles of Employee A and create new userID and profile of Employee B. Another way is to change the userID of Employee A and used its profile to Employee B. Is there available documentation from SAP supporting the above procedure?
Regards,
Ronald

Licensing is based on active users. So if you lock user A, set its validity date to the day he/she left and take away the roles and profiles this user will not count for your licenses anymore sou you can safely create a new account for user B.
Deleteing users can cause issues in workflow related proceesses and troubles searching in change documents. There have been some discussions about this in the Netweaver forum.
