SAP licenses its software on a named user basis. A named user is defined as a single person who will use the SAP software to perform business tasks. Each named user must have their own individual SAP User License.
SAP licenses are enterprise-wide, meaning that once you have purchased a certain number of named user licenses, any person within your company can use the SAP software, regardless of their job function.
The cost of SAP licenses can vary depending on the edition of the software you purchase, the number of named users you require, and the level of support you need.
Generally speaking, the more named users you require, the higher the cost of the license will be. However, SAP offers discounts for volume purchases, so the cost per named user license can go down as the number of licenses purchased goes up.
SAP also offers different editions of its software, with varying levels of functionality. The less expensive editions will have fewer features than the more expensive editions.
The cost of support is another factor to consider when licensing SAP software. SAP offers different levels of support, ranging from basic email support to comprehensive 24/7 support. The cost of support will be included in your license agreement.
When licensing SAP software, it is important to work with a reputable SAP partner who can help you determine the best edition of the software for your needs and the best licensing option for your company.
