SAP permanent license getting changed to temporary

Hello experts,
I am on SAP CRM ABAP 7.0 (Kernel release 701). I am facing a strange problem with respect to sap license. Last week we have installed a permanent license as lots of jobs were failing and it showed type "Perm" in transaction "slicence" with exp date "31.12.9999" corresponding to active hardware key. Bur surprisingly however it changed back to type "Temp" after a while with retention of 1 month.
And today morning it showed a "Valid From" as the date of last restart.
As of now we have installed the permanent license but we fear that it might again get changed to "Temp" after a while or during next restart.
Did any of you faced this earlier and if yes what is the exact cause and solution of this?
Regards
Sourabh Majumdar

Especially linux servers are known for changing hardware keys along with the MAC address. If you have linux you might want to read note [1178686 - Linux: Alternative method to generate an SAP hardware key|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1178686]
Check in SLICENSE if your license entry is displayed with blue characters, this would be the active license. If it is black, then the license is for another hardware key.
Cheers Michael

Font and font color are getting changed for SAP R/3 report in portal

Hai,
We are using ITS 6.2 patch 26 and EP 6.0.
When i run a SAP R/3 4.6C report in ITS 6.2, the report content are shown in Courier New font with blue color.
When i run the same report from portal, the report content are shown in Arial font with blackish blue color.
Can anyone tell why in portal the font attributes are getting changed and how to have the same font attributes in portal also.
Regards,
H.K.Hayath Basha.

Hi
Please go to System Administration -> Portal Display -> Themes.
You can change the font type , color and size from here and have to properly assign it to the Desktop for the users for which these font should be displayed .

How do I get a computer to use one of my available licenses instead of the temporary license that I'm being told will expire tomorrow?

My console says "Payment needed" on one of my computers, and that the computer is currently using a temporary license, which is set to expire tomorrow. However, the line above that says the I have 2 device licenses available for activation. How do I get that computer to use one of my available licenses instead of the temporary license that will expire tomorrow?
Thanks,
RS

No, what you're seeing is the actual webpage
For example, the BBC iplayer (www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer). Open this site in safari, add an icon for it to your home screen, then when you use this icon to open the iplayer it opens as if it is an app, it doesn't have the address bar or back and forward buttons etc.
Actually, it does. Or should do, ay least. It does for me
Also when you double click the home button the iplayer icon shows up with the rest of the apps (usually you just get safari there) and if you open safari and look at the pages you have open it doesn't show there. It really does look as though it is an app, although what I'm guessing is happening is that it is open in a new instance of safari.
That's correct
My question is, does anyone know how to get a site to do this? I'm assuming there are some meta tags in the HTML but I can't find any references to this being possible let alone how to do it.
The site doesn't do it. Safari does it. All you have on your Home screen is the iPad equivalent of a webloc, a small text snippet containing the URL for whatever page you saved.

How to get a permanent license?

I see there's only Creative Cloud plans. I want to know what's the price or how to get a permanent license to a program. Not a plan, not something temporarily, something permanent. Licenses for Adobe Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, After Effects, Premier... and so on. Thank you! God bless you.

Requesting permanent license in SMP - Xcelsius 2008

Hi,
I am not able to get into the right path to apply permanent license for Xcelsius 2008 product. I have installed the application using the temporary license I got from the excel link available in SMP.
Do I need to provide any "SID" to request license like other SAP Products. But while installing Xcelsius 2008 I have not given any SID for that installation.
I have worked on many SAP ERP and Netweaver products. But I feel license applying for BO products is little different. Please help me on this.

Hello Ron.
If the trial keycode works, that means the keycode you have might be expired or invalid.
Is this happening on all computers or just one?
My suggestion would be to get a clean computer, login as an ADMINISTRATOR, stop any anti-virus running (this could stop from updating any registry keys) and then install Xcelsius.
Thanks

Error Installing Permanent License

Hi,
I have successfully installed SCM 2007 System.
Am unable to install temporary license. When trying to do so, it says "Temporary License Installed successfully". But it does not show anything in the slicense trx.
Also, when i try installing a permanent license under new licenses, it says "1 SAP license key(s) successfully installed". But license status is "Not yet Valid" with red status.
When checked at OS level, the harware key is also correct and says no license found.
sidadm 1> saplicense -get
saplicense: HARDWARE KEY = E1234567890
sidadm 2> saplicense -show
saplicense: no license entries found
There is no temp or permanent license installed currently. I guess I accidently deleted the temp license.
Kindly help as am unable to proceed with post installation steps as I can login to system only using SAP* id.

Chintan

Hi Sergo,

The expiration date is also fine 31.12.9999.

System Number in License screen changed after system copy

I have completed a Homogeneous system copy from GTP (Global Trade Production) to GTQ (Global Trade QAS). After the copy the system number in the SLICENSE screen changed from the original number when I first created GTQ to the system number listed in GTP. Now my permanent license key for GTQ will not work because the system number is different. Is there a way to change that system number so the License key will install?
Thanks
David

No. Thats not possible.
You need to update the info and request a new license at SAP Service Marketplace and install it on your system.

Inspection Lot status not getting changed to LTCA from REL for SubCon scenario

Dear All,
For ERSA material 01 inspection type is active with indicator Post to inspection stock only as it can be purchased. No other indicator is set.
This material can be sent for repairing outside with DAMAGE valuation type (stock provided to Vendor with DAMAGE valuation type).
For SubCon scenario, Purchase Order with Account Assignment Category F and Item Category L has been created.
Once GR using MB01 with 101 movement, consumption posting takes place and as Insp type 01 is active Inspection lot is getting created with status REL CALC.
At this time, DAMAGE stock against Vendor is getting reduced with Qty of 543 movement.
Now when, reversal 102 with MB01 is done against Purchase Order and details are adopted with reference to 101 material document, reversal is taking place, but at the same time respective material doc's Inspection lot status is not getting changed to LTCA. It remains REL only.
For 122 return to Vendor using MBRL also, Insp lot status is not getting changed.
Has anybody faced such issue? Is this standard SAP?
Kindly throw light on the process, is correct process followed?
Regards,
Tanuj Parikh

Thanks.
Thru MBST Inspection Lot status changed to LTCA.
Why system is not cancelling thru MB01?

Error during the installation of permanent license keys

Dear Experts,
When applying SAPLicense following error message is geeting, please help how can i resolve this issue
" Error during the installation of permanent license keys"

More information needed.
For example:
Your SAP version?
Is it a system copy?
How exactly did you try to delete from SAP level?
Without this information, nobody here can do anything but guess.
There are a lot of SAP notes about similar problems.
But for this you will have to supply more information.
Or better; Search in SAP notes yourself!
And here is my guess:
SAP Note 917936 - License keys cannot be deleted by user SAP*

In FBl5n (after accounting process) exchange rate gets change

Dear Experts ,
I am facing
issue regarding in FBl5n (after accounting process) exchange rate
gets change.
Due to this, there is a difference in billing
amount.
According to the KBA 1481328, If there is a manual entry in
the sales order field VBKD-KURRF (Goto -> Header -> Accounting),
then it is copied into VBRK-KURRF. Otherwise VBRK-KURRF is determined during
invoice creation from the currency tables (Transactions: OB08, OB07 and
OB22) according to the billing date.
It is supposed that manual entry has higher priority.
Why system is
fetching the exchange rate from OB08 when manual entry has first priority?
Kindly Advice.
Regards,
Shachi

First of all, you got the KBA number wrong. It is a KBA 1481238 - How are different exchange rates (Price, FI postings and Conditions) determined in billing documents, not SAP Note 1481328.
Now, if you manually change the exchange rate in sales order(SO - Goto - Header - Accounting), as per standard this will not be able impact your pricing. As the system always uses the local currency to convert currencies.
For further detail refer SAP Note 123298 - Euro: Conversion of document currency in sales&distribution. That can be helpful in understanding the standard behaviour and solution to the same.
In addition to that from Sales Order to Billing, we have copying control field for "Price Exchange Rate Type" which can impact the result for exchange rate determination. Where the option available are:
A - Copy from sales order
B - Price exchange rate = Accounting rate
C - Exchange rate determination according to billing date
D - Exchange rate determination according to pricing date
E - Exchange rate determination according to current date
F - Exch.rate determination accord.to date of services rendered
Thanks, JP

SAP B1 License Manager not starting automatcially

Dear All
SAP Version : SAP 9.0 PL12
Issue :
1)SAP B1 License manager is not starting automatically even when the status is automatic in the Services.msc
2)Also when logged from the client system its asks for the IP address/server name every time.
3)Some times it connects with the Server name and sometimes with the IP address.
And at cases it doesn't even connect at all throwing the error message "Connection to the license server failed" .
and then when we replace the config files of SAP B1 to DI API it works fine at cases.
This issue occurs on a random basis and at almost in all the systems(System connected in the morning is facing issue at afternoon).
And it becomes an activity on a daily basis.
So kindly let us know the exact cause for this issue and also a permanent solution for the same.
Note : Firewall setting is turned off.
Regards
Shyam

Hi Shyam..
Have you Installed the License manager with the Admin Rights
SAP Business One doesn't start and License Server Selection screen comes up
SAP Business One generates this error message when logging on: "Connection with license server failed"
On License Server Selection this error occurs: "Connection to license server failed; if license server address is invalid, correct it; if TAO NT Naming Service stopped, activate it and restart License Manager"
On startup, the TAO NT Naming Service returns this warning: "The TAO NT Naming Service on local Computer started and then stopped...";
TAO NT Naming Service is not running. To access this service, right-click the My Computer icon and choose Manage -> Services
Connecting to License Server brings warning: "Failed to connect to License Server"
On startup, the SAP Business One License Manager returns this warning: "The SAP Business One License Manager on local Computer started and then stopped..."
RSP: Logging on to Remote Support Platform (RSP) brings this Error: "Agent service unavailable", RSP Agent Console cannot be accessed. Nevertheless SAP Business One RSP Agent Service is running and restarts successfully
check with the links
TAO NT Naming Service Stop
Check in Service Manager TAO_NT_Naming_Service does it has dependency with SAP B 1 License Manager.
Check the above in the services... does it has got dependency
check does it has set to restart on first failure and second failure in the TAO NT properties Recovery..
