SAP license audit description and merger

Many sap customers do not know that the license can be merged when performing the license audit. Generally, the result of usmm measurement is not visible and the license audit result is sent to sap directly. Of course, this is no problem for large companies. After all, they have bought so many licenses and do not need to save time. However, for many enterprises whose annual sap license support accounts for a large proportion of IT budget, it is necessary to merge the licenses.

 

The license type is divided into six classes: 1. EMPLOYEE 2. Professional limit 3. profe1_4. Develop 5. Test 6. multi system/client.

 

In these 6 categories, the number of licenses of employee and develop is generally not much, and our company does not add more than five. the maximum number of licenses purchased is professional limit or professional. This type of license is also the license that sap allows users to put into production. Because of the high price, everyone knows.

 

The following describes how to classify and use these licenses:

1. the number of employee and develop types is small, because the production system does not allow development, and custom development is not recommended by SAP. Therefore, when Sap sells licenses to enterprises, it will try to divide a large proportion of the license into professional and professional limit, which is also a relatively profitable business. In about 09, a license will be sold for about 3500 euros (depending on the contract type ).

 

2. users of the test type are not charged, but once users are divided into the test Type in the production system, SAP regards such users as users who are not involved in production or do not use core business functions, during the audit, SAP will also focus on auditing such types of users to check whether they are really not involved in production activities. In foreign countries, integrity is a valuable asset, so customers will not sell integrity easily, be cautious with the Division and use of test users, because once sap finds that the enterprise uses test users to participate in actual production activities, it will issue a warning or even stop selling licenses to them, without a license, it means that there is no after-sales service, and even enterprises are at risk of going to court. In China, haha...

 

3. the multi client type license is a type that many enterprises ignore. SAP provides this type of license to save the license fee and make the license classification clearer. For example, there is a user like ABC in sap ecc, but there is also a user ABC with the same name in SAP Bi, and they are indeed used by the same person, then we can merge them. When calculating the license, it will not be repeated.

In addition, it should be noted that if the enterprise does not actively distinguish user types during the license audit, SAP will regard all production system users as professional users. Therefore, for basis consultants, it is necessary to manage the license of SAP users. For example, it is a sad thing to buy a batch of products but do not know the price classification of the products.
