A new tool for all 7.0 and higher systems :
Symptom
I- Saplicense can manage old license keys only, and can no longer install as of Basis Release 7.10.
II- After upgrading to Basis Release 7.00 or higher, you notice that the executable program saplicense for controlling and installing the SAP license key has only limited functionality at operating system level.
III- In 7.0 systems without a license, you had to :
-Login via SAPGUI with SAP* user
-Use SLICENSE transaction and often you can encounter problems like:
a-You did not know the password of SAP*
b-SAP* was disabled or without any authorizations
Solution
Now, it is a lot more convenient as SAP provides a new tool in the Service Marketplace for all 7.0 and higher systems, that is called saplikey, and replace saplicense in 7.0 or higher.
More information on saplikey is available in note 1227762 Released on 24.07.2009
