SAP License Requirements

Depending on the configuration of SAP Business One, additional SAP licenses may be required to run Sana Commerce. Informing the customer, installation and support of these licenses is the responsibility of the SAP Business One reseller.

Sana Commerce does not accept any liability for the content of this page, or for the consequences of any actions taken on the basis of the information provided. The information below should be interpreted as an example. No rights can be derived from this information.

 NOTE

To use the Sana add-on in SAP Business One, you must have a Superuser with the Professional license. We suggest, as a best practice, to set up an additional dedicated SAP user for this purpose. It is possible to use the existing "manager" user but is not our recommendation due to SAP's licensing mechanism. This user is used to log in to SAP Business One and it communicates directly through the DI Server. For more details on SAP licensing, please consult your partner and see SAP note 1815509.

From April 1, 2018

Since April 1, 2018, SAP Business One changed its licensing model. The DI Server license was replaced by the Indirect Access Instance license.

The Indirect Access Instance license is a pricing construct which allows you to assign an unlimited amount of DI server licenses to your customer's SAP Business One installation.

 * The Indirect Access Instance license caries a one-time license fee with a yearly enhancement which authorizes the communication flow between the Sana web store and the customer's SAP Business One system. When purchasing it, please note that this license is different from the Indirect Access User license, which is not required for Sana.

Before April 1, 2018

If you have the DI Server license, you can still use it.

Depending on SAP Business One application server setup the following SAP licenses are required:

 * Each DI Server license utilizes 1 Core of the SAP application server that is used to process data flow between Sana and SAP Business One. The DI Server license caries a one-time license fee with a yearly enhancement which authorizes the communication flow between the Sana Commerce web store and the customer's SAP Business One system. According to SAP, each core that is used for daily operations by SAP Business One system should also be licensed for DI Server.
