SAP Software License Requirements
A valid SAP license for each node on which the SAP message server may be running has to be
acquired from SAP. Additional licenses are free of charge.
The saplicense program provided by SAP needs to be used to acquire a unique customer key
from every host of the cluster. To obtain the licenses:
Gather customer keys by running saplicense -get as <SID>adm on each machine where
you want the SAP message server to reside.
