Hi Group,
We had a situation overnight where the SAP License for our system suddenly expired at Midnight.
We were planning for a switch to our HA machine, which has a different hardware key. As part of this, saplicense was run to install the correct key on the HA machine. From looking into the issues overnight, it would appear that the key applied to the HA machine also applieds to the production machine.
My questions here are:
1) Does saplicense check the data area R3<SID>400/R3_00 and then apply the license key to the machine that has the host name in there - DVEBMGS<HOST_NAME>? If so, that implies that the key updated on the current live machine instead of the HA box.
2) Does saplicense only update table MLICHECK? We do not replicate MLICHECK specifically for so that we can maintain seperate keys on different machines.
3) Or is there a location in an IFS directory i.e. usr/sap/trans (which is on our Dev box) that also holds details of the license key?
Any answers would be appreciated.
Dan
