You want to install SAP license via operating system.
Entering the License Data Manually
1. Log on as SIDadm (Unix and Windows) in the central instance of the SAP system. 2. Execute command saplicense -install. The system then prompts you to enter the following data:
Specify your sap system name: SAP SYSTEM NAME = PRD Specify your unique System idenfification: If you have no system number specified just press enter. SYSTEM-NR = Specify your hardware key: HARDWARE KEY = D1889390344 Specify your installation number: INSTALLATION NO = 0005500021 Specify your expiration date: EXPIRATION_DATE [YYYYMMDD] = 99991231 Specify your license key: LICENSE_KEY 1...5....0....5....0...4 LICENSE_KEY = 9KJDYITLVLPRZS9WXVS8SNTN saplicense: License successfully installed
Importing the License from a File
1. Log on as <SID>adm (Unix and Windows) in the central instance of the SAP system. 2. Execute command saplicense -install ifile=<filename>. Enter the name of the file you created in step 1 as the <filename>.
# SAPSYSTEM=C11 HARDWARE-KEY=A0123456789 INSTNO=0123456789 EXPIRATION=99991231 LKEY=012345678901234567891234 # SYSTEMN0= INSTNO=0123456789 EXPIRATION=99991231 LKEY=012345678901234567891234 #

Note
This is a older way to install the SAP license from OS level. You can find the newer way at Install SAP License from OS Level (SAPLIKEY)
Sap license -install does not work anymore.
The new command is saplikey.
Hi Dee, thanks for the info. I added a new note on SAPLIKEY. You can find at

hi,
I don’t have license version of SAP software. I using it for practicing ABAP module. I have struck in access key. I have access key generator. If I log-in to system, Status for INSTALLATION NUMBER = INITIAL. because of this I’m not able to generate key.
Please any one can tell me how to remove it or turn INITIAL into numeric.
Many thanks for helping in advance.
Regards
You need to register your SAP.
