You can use the transaction SLICENSE to determine the hardware keys of all hosts for which an RFC connection is maintained. The command saplicense ‑get IBM i: saplicense '-get') is then executed on the computer in question and the result is returned.

Prerequisites

  • You are on the first screen of transaction SLICENSE and have chosen the New Licenses button.

  • You have administrator authorization.

Procedure

  1. Choose the Determine Remote HW Key button.

    The Determine Remote Hardware Key screen appears.

    All of the computers that are maintained as RFC destinations in transaction SM59 are listed here. The highlighted computers are the servers that belong to the same SAP System (these are also displayed in the Overview of SAP Application Servers SM51).

  2. You can determine several hardware keys here - for example, for those computers on which you want the message server to run (for example, for failover configurations).

Result

The determined hardware keys are in the list Alternative Hardware Keys. When requesting the license key, you can copy the desired hardware key from the list and insertd it in the relevant field.

You are now able to request the SAP license key (see Requesting the SAP License Key).
