SAP The SAPLICENSE Program

The SAPLICENSE program is used to install, check and maintain SAP licenses in your R/3 System. It resides in the directory /usr/sap//SYS/exe/run . (In the case of AS/400, the program resides in the kernel library.)

Windows NT:

Replace the slash (/) with a backslash (\) in all path names.

If you start saplicense without any options at operating system level, all the options are displayed.

Prerequisites

• As of Release 4.5A the database interface library is linked dynamically. To allow SAPLICENSE to locate this library, the following variables must be set in the environment of the user calling SAPLICENSE:

• dbms_type
= (for example, ora, inf, ada, mss, db2, db4, db6)
• DIR_LIBRARY
= (for example, /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run)

• User for SAPLICENSE:

NT and UNIX

You must be logged on as user adm . This ensures that all the required environment variables are set correctly.

AS/400

• You must be logged on as user
OFR.
• The executables library
R3OPT must be included in your library list.
