SAP Demos in Amazon EC2 Cloud

222 Views

Hi All,

I have recently started using Amazon EC2 to run a series of SAP Demo servers. The benefit of this is that I can shut down my instances when they are not in use and restart them when necessary, thereby saving ongoing running costs.

The bad news is, when I restart a server instance it starts up with a different SAP Hardware Key. This of course makes my SAP license invalid and makes the idea of running my SAP Demos in EC2 pointless if I need to request a new SAP license key every time I reactivate an instance.

Is anyone aware of this and have found a way to retain the hardware key?

Thanks for any help at all.

Regards,

Julie
