SAP Package (license type)

Consumption for SAP Package licenses is measured by usage. Usage data is imported from FlexNet Manager for SAP Applications into IT Asset Management, and the license is generated automatically during the import. The metric that is used for calculating consumption depends on the SAP package. You may select or define the metric on the relevant package details page in SAP mode.

SAP Package licenses are over-utilized when the value of their Consumed property exceeds the value of their Total licensed property (both of these are displayed in the Compliance tab of the license properties sheet). Legally, this license type does not fall out of compliance until true-up.

Product use rights

No additional rights. The count imported from SAP is the final count.

Group assignment
