  • You want to install or upgrade SAP Host Agent on a host without an SAP system, instance, or component.

  • You want to install or upgrade SAP Host Agent on a host with SAP systems, instances, or components that are based on SAP R/3 or on an SAP NetWeaver release lower than SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EHP 2 or SAP NetWeaver 7.2.
