Licensing information

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I need licensing information related to all components SRM!.

Tried to search ,but did not get much.

Will be grateful to have as a reply or a document.

My questions are:

1. If we install all the components related to SRM viz. EBP,SUS,Bidding Engine,CCM,

LAC, XI,EP, BW and ECC also ofcourse -->Each component would need seperate license or as a bundle?

2. How the user licenses will be given for all these components?

3. If we have alreay have ECC in place will that benifit for SRM license?

4. If we decide to use EP hence SSO what will there be any benifit?

5. Any idea about remote counsulting charges?

The versions of components should be:

ECC 5.0

EBP 5.5

SUS 3.0

BI 7.0

XI 7.0

Helpful answers will be rewarded.

Hi,

ad 1.

If you have SRM license all related components like SUS, EP, BW etc. will be attached on this license.

You must register these components in service.sap.com, because you need license keys.

ad 2. User licenses depends on SAP contract. For example in my company SRM user licenses = BW user licenses which mean if I have 100 user in SRM, I have 100 user licenses in BW also.

ad 3. I'm afraid not.

ad 5. Remote consulting charges are the same as ECC.

Hi

The best way to check this is to contact your SAP account Manager. He is the only best person who can answer this query correctly.

There are many parameters & restrictions/options in licensing.

Hello,

Thanks for replies.

@ Marcin -

Now to more specific point.

I had read on this forum that for Bidding engine yo can test the functionality without

seperate license on dev server. But for prod server Bidding engine you need to have a seperate

license.

Is it not correct then?

@ Ramki-

Should I assume that licensing procedure for components and users is highly flexible

and depends on the negotiations between SAP and customer.

Pl. respond.

I do not mean that..

There can be changes every year on the policy...

some customers may have a global contract also and governed by thise contracts..

There are many variables.

Dinesh,

Bidding engine (Live Auction Cockpit, Bid Invitation) is a part of SRM and (in my opinion) doesn't need a separate license.

In SRM5.0 Live Auction is a Java applet working on SRM Java stack.
