There are three different license key installation processes. The correct process for you depends on which SAP software technology you use. SAP Web AS with ABAP and SAP Basis. Applications that contain the SAP Web Application Server. Digitally encrypted license keys as of WEB AS 7.0. As of an upgrade with Basis Web AS 7.0 (ABAP), you should request and install the new, digitally signed license key. This new, digitally signed license key avoids additional database accesses, thus improving performance. When you make the request, make sure that you request it for the existing system and with the standard license type.
Prerequisites to use transaction SLICENSE :
You are logged on to the SAP system and are authorized to use this transaction (authorization object S_ADMI_FCD=SLIC).
You can use transaction SLICENSE to manage license keys for Release 4.6C in your SAP system. In the SAP menu, choose Administration – System Administration – Administration – SAP Licenses, or enter the transaction code SLICENSE. In this way, you can use all of the functions provided by the sap license program at operating system level from within the system.
Install the permanent license key as follows:
1. You are in the initial screen of transaction SAP LICENSE.
2. Choose New Licenses to enter the license management of the digitally signed license keys.
3. Choose Install.
4. In the dialog box that is displayed, specify the file to be loaded from the file system.
5. Specify and confirm the license key file.
6. You receive a success message that you must confirm. The new license is displayed under “Installed Licenses”.
Note: In transaction SLICENSE – New licenses, you can only install license keys with license type Standard and SWPRODUCTNAME=NetWeaver_database (in the license key file).
User SAP*
Even if a license key is not yet installed or an existing license key has expired, you can log on as user sap*. You can also work with the temporary license, which is automatically installed after the installation or upgrade. The temporary license key is valid for four weeks.
Temporary license key (using transaction SLICENSE or sap license -temp at operating system level) In the following cases, you may be required to install a temporary license while you wait for the license you requested from SAP:
1. Changes to the hardware configuration of the host that runs the message server. In this case, the hardware key of the host can also change.
2. Transferring the message server to another host.
3. The license key for the production system has expired. When can a temporary license be generated? 1. If a valid license key had been installed within the previous month. If not, the system will issue a message stating that the date of the last successful license check occurred more than a month ago. 2. If the SAP system is set up from a copy of an existing SAP system, you cannot install a temporary license. Before you work with a copied SAP system, request a license key.
