When you purchase an SAP product, a new installation is created. It contains one or more systems, which represents the computer on which you installed your SAP product, or for cloud products which tenants or products. you have purchased from SAP. Most on-premise support applications rely on up-to-date system data to improve service quality. With quality system data repeated data input becomes unnecessary. To ease system data maintenance you can also use the system data synchronization between SAP Solution Manager and the SAP Support Portal.
The Global License Auditing Service supports all customers in fulfilling their contractual duty to carry out system measurements.
Measuring the system determines the number of users of SAP systems and which SAP products are in use. The following things can be measured:
- All user types of all SAP price lists.
- Software engines, such as Human Resources, Real Estate Management, and so on.
- Additional SAP products like SAP HANA database and SAP Unwired Platform.
The following tools and the associated documentation are available to you. These tools are constantly being extended and improved.
- Measurement program (transaction USMM) for measuring users and engines.
- License Administration Workbench, LAW 2.0 transaction SLAW2 (former LAW version: transactions SLAW or LICENSE_ADMIN) for the central consolidation of all measurement results.
