SAP | Licenses | What is an "Active" user for which you need a license?

570 Views

Hi Experts,

an consultant/auditor told me that you only need a license for "Active" Dialog users. But what does "active" mean here?

We came up with this definition for active:

1 Not expired

2 Not locked

3 Not logged in for 30 days or more (we have a setting which auto locks these so they fall under cat 2)

What is your opinion on this, is this a correct and complete definition?

For example, IT team members have two accounts, i.e. one limited end user one and a separate administrator account which is locked by default.

---> If the admin account wasn't locked, we would need two licenses for each one

---> In the current situation, we need one license for each one

---> What if my employee is locked the whole year except for an emergency case where he needs his admin/emergency account for only a few hours?

Thx in advance!
