ASUG SAP Licensing Resource Center

Why are we covering licensing as a topic? Because it affects every SAP customer, whether SAP has been part of your enterprise architecture for a few years or more than 20. At ASUG, we believe it's important for customers to understand what's in their contracts, regardless of how long and complex they may be. So we've gathered some information here about how you can start to answer some of these questions at your organization.

You can start by reading this letter from our CEO, Geoff Scott, to hear about how ASUG has been representing the voice of the customer in conversations with SAP, as well as what you need to know about the recent changes to SAP's licensing model.
