SAP different versions in iSeries server

[Former Member]

Hi SAP experts,

We have a current SAP 4.7 installation in an iSeries server in PROD and in DEV machine. Is it possible to implement a new version like ECC6 using the same iSeries machine? Will the 2 installation for 2 different SAP version (4.7 and ECC6) possible in 1 iSeries DB server? If possible what do you think would be the impact to license and other aspects?

Hoping for your replies.

Thanks,

Hi John,

Yes, you can mix different releases of SAP on same OS/400 partition/machine. And you can mix different code pages on same OS/400 partition/machine as well.

It doesn't affect the license on either OS/400 or SAP, from what I know.

Best regards,

Hi Victor,

So it's possible to have 1 production box with different SAP versions (eg. ECC6, 4.7, 4.6B, etc.)? How about the SAP license key per system? How does it work?

Thanks!

How about the SAP license key per system? How does it work?

==> It will be independent of each other just like on any other platform. Every SAP system will have its own license as every system will have its own installation number, SID etc. The only thing that will be same is the Hardware key.
