Navigating the complexities of SAP licensing can feel like decoding an intricate puzzle—especially when SAP shifts the model. Whether you're a seasoned IT professional or a business leader looking to optimize your budgets, understanding the nuances of SAP’s new Full Use Equivalent (FUE) licensing is crucial for maximizing the value of your investment while managing compliance.
Under the new FUE licensing structure, users’ authorizations take on even greater importance. Every role granting authorizations to users within your SAP estate will factor into your license fees. This approach aims to simplify the license review process, but could lead to higher licensing costs if roles and authorizations aren’t optimized.
In this blog, we'll break down what the new FUE licensing structure is and what it means for your organization, explain how it differs from previous models, and most importantly, show you how to turn this change into an opportunity. You'll learn how a strategic license review can not only help you optimize costs but also enhance your system security and support your migration decisions. Whether you're planning a cloud S/4HANA or RISE migration or are already using SAP cloud solutions, you'll gain practical insights into managing this transition effectively while avoiding unexpected costs.
