Working with the SAP Marketplace

When a SAP instance is first installed, it comes with an automatical four week license. But you can’t install any kind of SSCR key on a termporary instance, so it is best to get the permanent license key immediately.

The license key request process has been drastically overhauled by SAP over the past. Normally, if you request a new SAP license key, the information will be e-mailed to you in the form of a script. But in case you don’t receive this e-mail promptly, it is important to know how to obtain the newly generated key “the old-fashioned way”.

Finding your Hardware Key

1. Log on to the server containing the new SAP system as adm.
2. Type the following, pressing enter when you are done:

saplicense -get

3. You will see a line reading “saplicense: HARDWARE KEY = XXXXXXXXXXXXXX”. Make note of this information before pressing Enter.
4. You may now log off the server.
