Private Use of Netweaver 7.0 ABAP SP12 over the internet

Former Member
0 Kudos

Dear SAP-employees,

dear SDN-members,

I'm currently doing my apprenticeship at a german IT-Company and since the first day

- in summer 06 - I have been developing several applications using BSP, BSP-E.

This summer, I attended SAP's NET310 course about web dynpro.

Since then, I am even more fascinated about this next-generation UI technology.

Consequently, I set up an installation of Netweaver 7.0 ABAP SP12 on my personal computer to learn more about the web2.0 technologies it offers. (e.g. Web Dynpro, [Flex]).

I'd like to do a little private/personal project and build different web dynpro applications on my personal installation of NW7.0 trial version.

This leads to the question: What are the restrictions of NW7.0 trial version as far as personal/private use is concerned? Am I supposed to use NW7.0 trail only for myself, or is it possible to setup a local WAS and have some friends connecting to it (over the internet) and have them use my Web Dynpro Applications? Thus, is it possible/permitted to open my installation of NW7.0 ABAP Trail to the internet, only for private use?

I'm looking forward to your replies.

yours

Erik

P.S.: In Summary: Will I get sued by SAP/pay indemnification for opening my NW7.0 Trail to the internet and having my friends using my web dynpro apps?

Your described scenario is OK as long as opening your Web application to your friends is part of your (or your friends) Web Dynpro learning efforts. Playing around in this context and looking what happens, if several users call your apps is no problem.
