Where can I get a free download of saplicense.exe?

saplicense is the SAP tool, that is mostly used for installing a new SAP license. This tool is command line based. In the easiest way, you just issue the following command:

saplicense -install

Then you are asked for the SID, the installation number, the license key etc.

The SAP License can be ordered online in the SAP Service Marketplace at:

http://service.sap.com/licensekey

Hello Richard,

For an ABAP instance the saplicense executable file is located in the run directory and contained in SAPEXE*.SAR (kernel stack part I) file for you platform.

What is the Basis level of your system and is it a Windows system?

Thanks Mark, for the hint!

I too was missing saplicense.exe from my ABAP trial install.

Eventually, I found it in the zip file "51032266_3",

"NW 2004s SR2 Kernel 7.00 Windows Server on IA32 32bit".

(SAP Support Portal download)

unzip 51032266_3.zip

cd NW_2004s_SR2_Kernel_WINDOWS__LNX_X86

cd KN_WINDOWS_I386

cd DBINDEP

d:\sap\NSP\sys\exe\run\sapcar.exe -xf SAPEXE.SAR saplicense.exe

As of NW2004 you no longer can use SAPLicense ; you need to use TCode SLICENSE instead.

Logging into NW2004 as SAP* and executing TCode SLICENSE, I get the appropriate screen. Once I click "Determine remote hardware key" I see "Only the administrator is authorized to execute this action".
