SAP JAVA Licensing

 Licensing AS Java

Once your AS Java is installed, you can directly log on since a temporary license has automatically been installed.

Then, you need to request and install a permanent license from SAP.

If you have installed SAP NetWeaver Application Server with ABAP and Java, you can follow the licensing procedure used in earlier releases of the SAP NetWeaver application servers. For more information, see the "SAP License Key" documentation.

There are two types of SAP licenses:

• Permanent license
• Temporary license

  The temporary license generated during installation has a validity period of  90 days.

Note that you cannot install another temporary license, if the expired license is also a temporary one. If you again install a temporary license later on, it this has a validity period of 28 days.

Procedure

Installing a Temporary License

If your permanent license is expired, as a short term measure you can install a temporary one.

1. Open SAP NetWeaver Administrator in a browser, entering http://<host>:<port>/nwa .
2. Choose Configuration → Infrastructure →   Licenses.
3. In the Available License pane, choose the Extend with Temporary License button.
4. By the time the temporary license expires, you should have installed again a permanent license.

Installing a Permanent License

To learn how to get a permanent SAP license,

You need a valid SAP license to log on to a SAP NetWeaver Application Server. After installation, a temporary license is also installed, which you need to replace with a permanent license.

If you install SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP and Java, you have to import the ABAP license (see the "SAP Licensing Procedure" document). You can then ignore this section.

Prerequisites

You have Application Server Java (AS Java) installed.

Procedure

1. Open SAP NetWeaver Administrator in a browser, entering http://<host>:<port>/nwa .
2. Choose  Configuration  Infrastructure  Licenses .

   The system data you need to request the license from the SAP Service Marketplace is displayed:

   • Software product
   • System ID
   • System number (if it exists)
   • Installation number (if it exists)
   • Hardware key
3. You can find information about applying for an SAP license key in the SAP Service Marketplace under the /licensekey quick link:
   
   
4. Received requests are automatically processed within a few hours. Assigning of your license key is therefore also possible outside office hours.

Do not change the license file manually. To import the license, you need to use the file unchanged.

1. From the Available Licenses pane, choose Install from File.
2. Choose the license file that you want from SAP.

Result

The license is installed and is displayed in the Available Licenses table.
