What happens when Integration Content Advisor(ICA) Library Type System license expire?

[fatihpense]

CPI ICA(Integration Content Advisor) EDIFACT message type system requires a license to use. For example, if we opt to get a 3-month license:

What happens after this EDIFACT message library license is expired?

When the license is expired:
The runtime(flows+mappings) will be fine for sure. But can we access MIGs(Message Implementation Guidelines)?

After the expiration and then renewal:
Does SAP delete these artifacts or make them inactive when there is no license? Can we access the old MIGs after we get another license?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Fatih,

Below are my answers:

When the license is expired:
The runtime(flows+mappings) will be fine for sure. But can we access MIGs(Message Implementation Guidelines)?

Answer: Yes, you can access MIG and MAG screens. You can still do mappings if you are not using licensed structures. Non-renewal of type systems will not affect your MIG and MAG.

After the expiration and then renewal:
Does SAP delete these artifacts or make them inactive when there is no license? Can we access the old MIGs after we get another license?

Answer: Similar things happen with one of my client. Client was in discussion with SAP for extending CPI license and license was not renewed for 2 weeks after due dates. Complete tenant was inactive for 2 weeks. After license renewal when CPI came up, it was having all artifacts intact. Looks like they keep inactive for a time-period but not sure how many days.
