BusinessObject's licensing

[Former Member]

Hello world!

I need help with understanding of licensing BusinessObjects.

For example somebody have 2 BO Enterprise Premium licenses for 1 CPU.

Does it mean that somebody have to use any quantity of servers with maximum 2 CPU on it or maximum 2 CPU (for example 1 CPU for production and 1 CPU on Dev).

Does 1 CPU license mean using on physical or virtual servers?

Thanks for reply!

Best regards.

Hi Artem,

For SAP Licensing, please refer following link:

1. http://download.sap.com/download.epd?context=F2E020E5266246149748FB2C059287753C1CF55764508098C0EA717...

For CPU based licensing, as far as I know SAP consider the 1st Core as One CPU and every additional Core as 0.5 CPU.

In case of Dual Core machine, it you would require 1.5 CPU licenses and for a quad core machines will require 2.5  (1 + 0.5 +0.5 + 0.5) CPU licenses.

But every agreement that is signed with SAP is different and depends on company to company.  Have a to look at your contract or contact your SAP Account Manager for more details.

Hope this helps.
