Hi Experts,

Good day!

I would like to ask if it is possible to load 2 different permanent licenses for different company databases on one server?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

One server can only have one license for B1. This is a not changeable fact now.

Hi,

Kindly refer to the screen shot below, as you may observe there are two license file.  We have three company database - live, copy for testing and an upgraded database which is the old database from our SAP B1 v8.82.

What we did is from inside the SAP B1 client logged to the live database, imported the permanent license and change it from License Administration.

Our expectation is that it would apply to all three database in the same manner when we renew the temporary license file.

Apparently, the permanent license file was applied only to our live database. our test and upgraded database is still tagged with the temporary license file.

Yes, both license file is based on the same hardware key.

The reason for my asking is we could consolidate two company database each of them having their respective license on a single server?  Hence, we save cost of another server.

Thank you all for your inputs!

The answer is No. You can only have one active license file. 2 files can not be consolidated.

hello,

Here's the situation, we actually loaded the permanent license on the server then comes the problem that those other companies doesn't acquire the permanent license. Does that mean we needed to upload the license on the remaining databases that has an expired license?

Another thing that came to mind, if it is possible for other databases, we will just purchase additional user license for the other database to be installed on the server? Our sales told us that we need to buy another server for the other company. Isn't it economic wise?

Any opinion is very much welcome.

you can purchase additional user license and can assign then in others database. it will resolve your issue. but please confirm with sales guy the same that it is legal or not?

Hi

You cannot maintain two license in one Server.  Because License key is generated based on Hardware Key.

not possible just due to hardware key. there could be some workaround like virtual machine.
