Hello,
we've developed (custom) applications for our customers and using the the SAPUI5 libraries from their Gateway server. Currently we are using 1.44. We would like to upgrade the applications to a higher version but the customers can't update the SAP_UI component.
My questions:
1) Is it allowed (licensing?) to use the content delivery network (CDN) for applications hosted on a gateway server to get a higher library version? Can we just change the source in bootstraping to "https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/version_number/resources/sap-ui-core.js"? I'm asking because of the following sentence in the UI5 documentation version 1.78(https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/topic/2d3eb2f322ea4a82983c1c62a33ec4ae):
"SAPUI5 application hosted on SAP Cloud Platform are allowed to leverage the SAPUI5 CDN to retrieve the SAPUI5 distribution layer artifacts."
The applications are not hosted on SAP Cloud Platform. But this sentence does not appear in the documentations for lower versions. So I am a bit confused.
2) If it's possible, is it an allowed / recommended way in production?
Thanks and kind regards!
