SAP license usage problem

Hi gurus,
 We have limited no of licenses. Keeping that in mind, i am very careful with the usage. I have the following queries.
1) What is the diffrence between SAP applications professional license, SAP applications limited professional license, SAP Application employee self service license and SAP application Developer.
2) I am confused with the utilization of license
e.g I have 3 developer license, and 50 total license. In that case IF i assign developer key to an existing users, then will i be saving 3 users from total no of users, by not creating an independent developer user or I will be utilising two licenses for a single user i.e i) developer
 ii)SAP applications professional license
3) When i disable user what happens with the license associated with that user and what happens to the license when i delete the user.??
 I will be very thankful to you if you can also provide me, some links or notes that gives indepth idea about all licensing related issues.
Thanks and Regards,
Rahul

Hi Asad,
First i would like to refer link https://websmp204.sap-ag.de/licenseauditing
Here you can get license audit complete details and will find how to use transactions USMM and SLAW for audit purpose.
Under USMM perform user classifications and execute system measurement to get measurement statistics .
SAP IS solution for Consumer product
For the above license you need to manually declare on your organization letter head and 'll have to send to SAP.
Hope this info will help you.
Regards,
Gaurav

I need some detail solutions and suggests about below these problems [SAP R/3] :
Problem 4: Problems in the installation of SAP R/3 Server
Problem 4.1: Computer Name of the SAP R/3 server has been changed after the full installation of Oracle 9i and SAP R/3.
Problem 4.2: A network card of a server was faulty and it was replaced by a new network card but the SAP R/3 license was expired.
Problem 4.3: You would like to reinstall SAP R/3 on a server which has previously installed with SAP R/3 but the same error message appears during the re-installation.

HI,
I don't know the answer to your questions, but these are more of a SAP Baisis question. I would suggest posting this question on the Basis forum.

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

Unable to install SAP license

Hi,
We have just upgraded our SAP system from 4.6C to ECC6.0 and are now having problem trying to install SAP license.
The hardware key field is greyed out and we are not able to make any entry there and as a result, even if we can "import" the license, it is of no use.
Pls help.

Hi
Basically you can either perform at SAP ABAP level using SLICENSE or it's still possible to install license at OS level also.
If nothing works out, for now (until you find the fix) you even go with temporary license.
Use be link that helps you with whole procedure

Various questions on SAP XI usage

Hi XI Experts,
I have few questions on SAP XI usage :
Q1-Does SAP XI is unique - client like BW ?
If multi - clients is possible is there any particular usage recommandations when in design, configuration and production deploiement on PRD SAP XI System ?.
Q2-is it technically possible to restart a well processed message (with nice black & white flag in SXMB_MONI) ?
And I know its not a good thing to try to do this...
Q3-is it technically possible to modify XML payload in message ?
And I know again its a very bad thing to try to do this...
Q4-We have to work with xCBL 4.0 definitions. I think i only have to import all XSD definitions as External Definitions in Interface Objects of my repository. Does it right ?
Great thanks for your(s) response(s).
Best regards
Etienne

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?

I'm trying to resolve a battery usage problem

I'm trying to resolve a battery usage problem on my iPhone 5S ...
Have been working with an Apple agent via chat and I'm 99% certain it's a software problem, but I can't isolate wish software ...
So, I'm going to set up my iPhone up as new (when I did this as part of identifying where the problem is, it help its charge for 24 hours) but I have a problem with photos ...
I can see photos on my iPhone (restored from an iCloud backup) up to date, but on my iMac/iPhoto with my iPhone attached i) I can only see photos on my iPhone up to a date in the past (mid October 2014) and ii) iPhoto says all photos have already been imported ...
How can I (can I) get the more recent photos onto my iMac e.g. into a folder and then import them from there into iPhoto?
Also, why is the restore from an iCloud backup taking so long (it's been 14 hours now) when I'm pretty certain everything's now there that should be?

Just to add ... my real problem is that I can see photos on my iPhone, but in iPhoto with the iPhone connected, I can only see photos up to a certain date - weird?!!!

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.

David E. Dick

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

Extraction from SAP, hidden fields problem

Hi Expeerts,
I have the following problem / question:
From an SAP Datasource (2lis_11_vaitm) we have some fileds, those are HIDED, and we need them. This is a central SAP, and a lot of BW systems connect to this SAP.
The problem is, that we need a field from that datasource (and other BWs do not need), that has 'HIDDEN' option. The SAP side is afraid of having problem, when they just uncheck that option. (TELF1; KONDA fields we need).
Does anyone know, what is the affects on other BW systems, when we unhide this fields? Of course we load with delta from this source.
If a field is hidden in SBIW-Maintain Datasources, am I right, that the delta does not collect those fields, or it is collected, just not sent to BW systems?
Any good idea, how can we get that fields in other way, because it seems, that the datasource cannot be modifyed, because of the other countries' BWs, connected to teh centra SAP.
I hope i were clear, but if not, please ask me.
Thanks for Your help.
Laszlo

Hi,
If a field is hidden in SBIW-Maintain Datasources, am I right, that the delta does not collect those fields, or it is collected, just not sent to BW systems?
--> As hidden fields are already available in extract strucute, unhiding will not create any problem. As far as i know hidden means it will transfer data from extract structure to further.
--> You can try pulling this particular data using generic datasource. OR
--> Enhance datasource by adding required fields and use. OR
--> Unhide files and use.
Note: Bit careful while transpporting datasource to production as time stamp changes.

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
 DETAILS: DbSlControl(DBSL_CMD_IMP_FUNS_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)
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.
