Cannot log on to Sap netweaver (error in license check)

[Former Member]

Hello

I have a server which has a virtual machine with sap netweaver installed(and working ok).i needed the sap server application o another pc so i took the files with the already installed sap server and put them on another pc in a virtual machine.When i try to connect to the new sap server it tells me from the saplogon window: "logon not possible (error in license check)"

when enterring "saplicense - show" i get the following

LICENSE system:NW4 hardware key :TEMPLICENSE expiration_date:20070315

installation no:DEMOSYSTEM ............

.............

***license expired*********************

LICENSE system:NW4 hardware key :N0923714948 expiration_date:20070104

installation no:DEMOSYSTEM ............

.............

***license expired*********************

LICENSE system:NW4 hardware key :C1993913651expiration_date:20070507

installation no:DEMOSYSTEM ............

.............

***license_usable*********************

i requested a new license from sap but i get the same that is already installed on the system,so it doesn't help at all.

Any suggestions?

Hi, seba.

Hmm, it is very strange because hardware keys are different.

NW4 hardware key N0923714948 expiration_date:20070104

NW4 hardware key C1993913651 expiration_date:20070507

It should be the same for the same SAP instance whenever its

expiration date is. And hardware key is changed whenever you

install SAP system in case of Windows.

Please check what is your correct hardware key and request

with the correct one.

Best Regards.
