trying to connect to a license server in a diffrent country

[iNDdM]

Our Client has just installed another SAP installation. They are trying to connect the hina SAP client to the Licence server in a diffrent country (the licese server has a Global licence )

the 2 countries are in diffrent time zones too.

so far we have not been successful!

typing in the ip address gives a error "Connection license server failed......."

I cannot find any documentation on this as well.

appreciate any help

We now have got to a stage where we can connect to the licence

server, But the issue is its not displaying the Local databases. Its

displaying the databases where the licence server is. We need

the local databases to display.

The head office isin Sydney australia and thats where we are

reading the licence from. The client that is connecting is in China

and that China instllation has its own SAP server instalation that

has its own SQL Server database ( sbo-common and company

dbs)

Hi,

What remote connection do you use?

Thanks,

we tried public ip address and could not - the network guys said ", ended up the packets didnu2019t like the NAT very much "

I dont know what that means.

Any way we ended up doing a vpn ( FOR NOW ) and that worked. Hoever we need public ip to work its unworkable that we ask each pc to do vpn.

Howwver as said above it lists the Austtralian databases not China.

It is not IP address problem. VPN connection will not work in this case.

B1 is a fat client. You need one of the 2 supported remote connection: Terminal or Citrix server.

Hi Gordon,

Our situaiton is diffrent - we are trying to share a licence server - thats in a remote server. see clarificaiton below.

The situaiton is they want to SHARE the LICENCE SERVER ONLY.

simply,

Australian server has a unique SAP installation with its own database

China server has a unique SAP installation with its own database

somewhere in the middle ( the lincense server is runing on a common server - that server too is in Australia but what matters is its common and needs to be shared)

Australia needs to see its own databses ONLY

China needs to see its own databases ONLY

Both Australia and China needs to be authenticated using the same common licence server as above

To my knowledge, two installations must have two license files because there are two different hardware keys.

Just to update you all - we have done it.

However we are using a VPN to the common server and so our client is ok with it.

Please close your thread.

BTW: do you mean you are successfully share a license server by VPN?

[iNDdM]

Yes - we did. It was done with SAP help and with a Global Licence. I however think it could be done without a Global licence as well - but have not tested that scenario.

HI

Did you check the connectivity by pinging the IP address?
