Dear all,
I would appreciate if you could kindly give us
your advice about the following issue.
We have an environment dedicated for training. The environment was
initially installed on AIX platform. However, after a while the
technical direction decided to migrate to Linux.
The migration was done at 18 September 2009, and during this process
the very date was chosen and designated by SAP to be the
valid start date of the new SAP license.
Now, our problem is, that the data programmed in this SAP envionment
(used for training) is not compatible with the current date. In
order to make them work properly, the host system date must always be
set to the last year (this is because we had unfortunately some delay for
the migration).
It is fundamental to remark, that currently, we are absolutely not able to
modify the data and the sole solution (although not the best one) to
tackle this problem is to modify the operating system's date. This is
precisely how we proceeded, but unfortunately we encountered a SAP license
check problem during logon.
As I explained, the migration from AIX to Linux was performed at
18 September 2009, which means, this was the date for the new license.
Yet, we need to go further in the past and to choose 24th July 2008.
On the operating system, of course, there is no problem and the
administrator can modify the host date with the appropriate date, but
on the other hand, by choosing this date, we are no more able to work
within this SAP environment. At the logon time, we receive a license
check error, which is normal, because the host date (24th July 2009) is anterior
than the start date for the SAP license (18 September 2009).
Also, we cannot ask for another license, because we will have the same problem,
they never create a license dated for the last year, and they always create an
up-to-date license.
Could you kindly guide us how we can manage to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards,
Dariyoosh
