You can use the program saplikey to install, check, and administer digitally-signed license keys in your SAP system. It resides in the directory /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/exe/run. As of release 4.5A, the database interface library is linked dynamically.
To allow saplikey to locate this library, the following variables must be set in the environment of the user calling saplikey.
• dbms_type = <database type> (such as ora, inf, ada, mss, db2, db4, db6)
• DIR_LIBRARY = <Path_to_dynamically_linked_database_library> (for example, /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run)
• Logged on as the user <sid>adm.
When you enter commands, always specify the profile:
saplikey pf=<profile> <command> <product>
SAPLIKEY Command Options
-delete: Delete installed license key. -get / -number: Display hardware key (Execute the command in central instance). -help: Full list of saplikey command options. -install: Install license key. -show: Show all installed license keys. -temp: Install a temporary license key -version: Display the saplikey version.
