Monitoring the License Status of Form LayoutsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

Use this function for viewing the license status of your form designs in your SAP system. The license for SAP Interactive Forms is an official SAP license. For more information, consult your contact person in your local SAP sales office and see SAP Note 750784 Information published on SAP site.

Note

Adobe Designer enables form authors to create new form designs or customize previously developed form designs. The form design provides the presentation or layout for the data, including formatting information such as font size, alignment, field logic, and graphics. The data from your SAP system populates the form design and determines what the final output will contain when Adobe document services processes the form design and data. The output can be either interactive forms or print forms.

Features

The Document Services License Service checks the license status of interactive form designs in your SAP system on a daily basis.

Note

The check of the license status of interactive form designs in your SAP system is done by the Customer measurement program (transaction USMM).

Forms are classified and displayed as:

  • Customer Forms , the total number of your forms.

  • SAP Forms, the total number of original SAP forms.

  • Draft Forms , the total number of forms in a draft state. Draft forms are forms that are not currently in production and therefore do not count as a licensed/unlicensed form.
