Before you begin installing SAP® Mobile SDK, familiarize yourself with system requirements and installation prerequisites.
Although SAP Mobile SDK works closely with the SAP Mobile Server component in SAP Mobile Platform Runtime, the installation of SAP Mobile SDK is independent of the SAP Mobile Server installation. You can install SAP Mobile SDK on a server or developer workstation, with or without SAP Mobile Server. If SAP Mobile Server has already been installed, you do not need to shut down the SAP Mobile Server services before installing or uninstalling SAP Mobile SDK.
For information about system requirements for SAP Mobile SDK, see Supported Hardware and Software.
For information about installing an SAP Mobile Server instance to work with your SAP Mobile SDK installation, see Installing SAP Mobile Platform Runtime on a Single Server in Installation Guide for Runtime.
If you are installing SAP Mobile SDK on a system where there is no earlier version of either SAP Mobile SDK or SAP Mobile Server installed, you must provide a license. See Obtaining a License.
If you are installing SAP Mobile SDK on a system where a version of SAP Mobile Platform Runtime is already installed, the SAP Mobile SDK installer installs using the SAP Mobile Server license. See Installing SAP Mobile SDK.
If you are installing SAP Mobile SDK on a system where an earlier version has been installed, see Installing an Upgraded SAP Mobile SDK. You can upgrade an existing SAP Mobile SDK version 2.3, 2.3 SP01, 2.3 SP02 or 2.3 SP03 using the 2.3 SP04 installer.
