Request Free License Key and Install SAP License Key using SLICENSE Transaction Code


SAP provides ABAP developers and SAP professionals free trial SAP products like SAP Netweaver 7.01 ABAP Trial Version that I'm using. Since these SAP software is distributed for trial purposes, SAP forces ABAP developers and SAP professionals that use such free trial products to refresh their license keys time to time. An SAP product like MiniSAP or SAP Netweaver will warn developers and SAP users about the license key expiration date, when the trial period approaches to end date.
