Choosing Licenses

Before installing SAP Mobile Platform, determine your license type.

For evaluation versions of SAP Mobile Platform, you do not need a license to perform a single-server installation (all components installed to a single host). For all other installations, the appropriate license must be loaded and available on all hosts before you can run the installer.

  1. Assessing License Needs
    Identify your environment type, and the license model you need to support. These criteria help you choose the license type so you can purchase licenses.
  2. Mapping Environment to Product Editions and License Types
    Once you have identified your environment type and the system design you need to support, map those requirements to the available license types.
  3. Purchasing Licenses Before Installing
    Once you have identified your product edition and license type, you can proceed with purchasing the licenses.
  4. License Validation
    Attributes in a license file define the number of SAP Mobile Server instances that are allowed to run concurrently, the number of mobile clients that can connect to the SAP Mobile Server, and the license expiration date.
