Exploring mySAP SRM license fees
Will SAP charge a license fee for SRM on a solution basis or per-user basis? I heard somewhere that the user-based license fee is applicable only for its R/3 products, and not for new dimension products.

Hi there,
Whenever we talk about licensing and SAP it's a gamble. It's very much dependent on the relationship between your organization and SAP. However from past experience, customers have had to license the new dimension products based on the solution instead of an additional user license pertaining to the original R/3 license.

Some organizations have had the mySAP.com license -- which provided them a license to a host of solutions under that umbrella. I believe this has now transformed into the mySAP business suite.

I think your best option is to get in touch with your SAP account executive to gain a better perspective on the licensing.
