Is license required or not?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a requirement to develop a form using SFP & Adobe Livecycle Designer.

End user fills the data in the BSP application then clicks the print button,

entered data will be displayed in a PDF file to print the pdf document.

There is no user interaction in the form.

Question:

1. Is this the interactive form or print form?

2. Client needs to obtain any license from SAP to use the form in production?

Thanks in adavance.

Hello,

1. No.

The argument is the following. A license has to be paid if PDF form acts as an input screen, if data structure is different than the one delivered in standard by SAP, in a productive environment.

2. In this case, no. The so called ReaderRights provided by SAP enable the Reader extensions in the PDF, allowing to enter and/or save data in it.

Francois,

Thanks for your quick response.

We are going to use some custom RFC to retrieve data from R/3 and to display the data as a PDF file in prodction env. In this case also we don't need to obtain the license, Is that correct?

Thanks

For display only, this is correct.

Which online technology do you plan to use (WD Java, ABAP, BSP..)?

Francois,

We are going to use BSP for user input(web page layout), SFP and Adobe Live Cycle Designer for Adobe form layout.

Can we call Adobe from from BSP applications by clicking a print button?

Thanks

Sure; in this case you call your custom function modules within your backend and PDF is displayed online.

This is pure print so definitely no license involved.

Dear Francois,

I also wanted to display daily reports required by management Display only No input can we display reports without license in BSP or we need license for each user.
