Hi,
I have a question to which i have not gotten a straight answer and hereby posting online to collect your throughts.
We are using the Interactive PDF element in a web dynpro transaction (production) to just display the data , there are no input fields on the PDF. Does this usage count towards the licensing cost.
Second - does anyone have the name of a report that SAP would run to measure the form usage and license.
thanks,
Ali Mohammed.
You can also check what is "triggered" as an interactive form. There is a small java app that you can run on your production server that shows how many/what forms are "interactive" and using licenses.
I don't remember the app right off, but do some searches on here for it (it is also in the book from SAP Press about Adobe forms).

I guess, if there are no interactive elements (input / editable fields, buttons) on the form, then we don't need license

Hey.
Non interactive forms (or print forms) are never licensed.
Check out note 750784

Hi Ali,
IFbA license is required when forms are designed via Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

Thanks Gary for your response .
We currently use Adobe Live Cycle Designer to design both the PDF Print forms and also the PDF interactive forms. The PDF print is not embedded inside a web dynpro as an interactive form element and is called using a Function Module interface, i am fairly certain that there is not license cost for the print form ( there are other posts on SCN that have said ).
I was interested in knowing if there is a license everytime the interactive form element is used in the web dynpro or do you actually have to have a form with input fields .
Thanks,
Ali.
Interactive forms delivered by SAP can be adapted or customized cosmetically without having to be licensed.
Interactive forms customised beyond the extent considered to be cosmetic are considered to be modified and are then licensable. These forms are licensable only if they are brought into productive use through deployment on a productive system.
What is considered as a cosmetic change to a SAP delivered Form deployed on a Productive system?
What is considered as a licensable change to a Form delivered by SAP (Non-Cosmetic)
