Licensing & Installation Concept in SAP

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

Our company has purchased a complete Software Package of Netweaver 2004s SR2 with ERP 2005 SR2, IDES ERP 2005 SR2, SRM, CRM, SCM, Solution Manager 4.0

We've already installed the IDES ERP 2005 SR2. Now my question is as you all know we have been given one Installation number & the customer number. So with the same software how many total systems can we install, Do we have to apply for the license for each installed SAP System. Also do SAP charge for each License. Also when we create any users in any client in a system, do we need to pay for that aswell, also what about the development users. In short I'm looking for the Installation & Licensing concept in SAP.

Thanks & Regards,

Nitin Goyal

You must apply for a separate license for each system, however based on the agreement with SAP you can have multiple systems i.e Multiple Utilization means the installation of the Software on more than one Designated Unit for Productive Use, or the setting up of more than one Application Database on one Designated Unit for Productive Use. Multiple Utilization of the Software may subject Licensee to payment of additional license fees.please read End User License Agreement on this if you have a copy with you or with IT/business.

There can be many license types as negotiated by the Business with SAP. You need to discuss with your IT/business group what type of licenses were negotiated and what defines each type of user? Then you can set the user accounts properly.

For each license you have to send the SAP audit report(system generated) with the required inputs yearly once which will be evaluated by SAP.Only users created in productive client will be charged, the users license applies to the development users also.

You have got advice to contact SAP because the info you are seeking is more of confidential and based on customer to customer.

Thank you,
