SAP Requesting an SAP License Key

You should use the Online Service System (OSS) to request an SAP License Key.

Procedure

1. Log on to OSS.
2. Choose Registration ® Registration R/3 System ® License key.

To see detailed information about the procedure for requesting a license key, select 6 . .

3. Double click on the plus sign (+) to the left of the installation for which you wish to request a new license key. This displays all licensed systems for that installation.
4. Position your cursor on the line beginning NEW Request new system.
5. To request a new key, select New key.
6. Check that the data displayed is correct and supplement as required.
7. Select Request key.
8. To see the current status of your license request, look in the Comments column.

You will receive a fax from SAP providing information about your new license key, which is also available via OSS. Your system landscape will be updated automatically in OSS.

Once the new license key has been assigned, you can display it by selecting Display license key. A pop-up window is displayed containing the license key and all the license data for your system.

To avoid having to type this license data in by hand (and risk mistyping something), select Export script. This function allows you to import the R/3 license key file into your system. Alternatively, you can copy the information into your system via cut and paste.

Requesting a License Key by Fax

If you do not have access to OSS, you can use the Request Fax License Key form to request a license key. The form is part of your software delivery package. Alternatively, you can download the form from SAPNet.

Fill out the form completely and send it to the fax number given on the form.

Provided you specify all the necessary information in your fax, SAP will send you the 24-position license key by fax within 3 working days.

Keep this fax in a safe place. If you should ever accidentally delete a license, you will need the license key in order to install the license again.
