Apply SAP License

You have to apply SAP License after completing your SAP Installation

Below are the steps to apply SAP License in Windows Command prompt

You can apply your SAP License Key from tcode SLICENSE or via command prompt.

1. Request license key from SAP Market place
2. Login to <SID>ADM(ex.qasadm) to apply license in command prompt else where it will not work
3. Open command prompt and enter command saplicense -show if you wish to see current license(mostly it will be temp license valid for 30 days by default) 
4. Or enter saplicense -install and you will be asked you to enter System ID
5. It will ask you to enter your System Number or leave it blank if dont have system number as its not mandatory
6. Now you will be asked to enter you hardware Key (you get the hardware from saplicense -get command) 
7. System will ask you to enter your installation number
8. Enter your expiration period in format[yyyymmdd] 
9. Now enter your SAP License Key which is received from SAP Market place
10. Saplicense Key is successfully installed
11. Check your installed license key using command saplicense -show if you wish to check your SAP system new license which you applied

Applying the SAP license in SAP slicense tcode is way better than command prompt but as you a basis person must know how to apply in command prompt as well.

In later post will see you how to apply in GUI method.
