Installing Permanent (Fixed Period) SAP Licenses 

Use

To operate your SAP system on a permanent basis you need to install a permanent license. This license can be for a fixed period (see Validity Period of SAP License Keys).

If you still have license keys of the old type installed, you can administer these on the Old Licenses tab page. However, you can no longer install license keys of the old type.

Prerequisites
