For companies with not only hundreds but thousands of SAP licenses the monitoring, exhaustion, and the management of SAP licenses are important economical factors. It is the only way to decrease costs concerning the license maintenance and the licensing itself. In terms of SAP license management, avoiding liability aspects is not as important as providing transparency and a clear overview of the SAP license inventory. It is the only way to minimize and optimize SAP license and service costs for required and existing licenses.

In addition, checking for unused license capacities in order to avoid expenses and restructuring often pays off.

But to get a detailed overview of intensity of use and maintenance errors etc., neither SAP license measurement nor miscellaneous software is able to provide sufficient information. Only a specialized tool like cuDetect s@p is able to optimize the license use and to create transparency, since the varying system architectures eliminate any chance to provide detailed information about the intensity of use for “regular” scan, detection, and inventory tools.

cuDetect s@p was designed to be used as an independent module and presents a SAP certified integration. It can either run independently or includes the standard SAP measurement data of the SAP LAW (License Administration Workbench). cuDetect s@p completes further individual measurements and delivers detailed information about license relevant context.

The SAP license optimization system also determines the intensity of use of all SAP systems, not only by users, but also cost centers and other organizational units, supporting a fair distribution of costs and invoicing according to input involved. For this purpose, consumption and usage statistics are created representing the basis for the internal cost allocation or the external invoicing practice.

The data of the SAP licenses and the individual and often complex license models can be defined and managed in cuLicense. Through the Compliance Check with cuLicense, a correct evaluation of under and over licensing is best possible.

But cuDetect s@p offers even more functions, like the clearing of SAP license maintenance errors, including doublets and inactive users, as well as a correct and optimized allocation of SAP license types.
