User organizations have called this practice questionable. Now, SAP <strong>starts to respond<\/strong> to their demands and has launched two important announcements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Allowance to <strong>exchange licenses<\/strong> towards a hybrid model of SAP on-premise and SAP cloud solutions.

The second announcement allows even to reduce maintenance cost when not buying new software, however applying a re-calculation of the old transaction which in many cases does not yield any refund or reduction at all!

Das dringendste Problem in letzter Zeit war SAP&#8217;s Weigerung, ihre Kunden<strong> nur f\u00fcr die Lizenzen zahlen zu lassen, die auch verwendet werden<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Die ganze Geschichte: \u00dcber Jahre hat SAP den Markt \u00fcberverkauft, indem mit hohen Rabatten Shelfware erzeugt wurde und die laufenden Kosten durch die Wartungsentgelte auch f\u00fcr ungenutzte Lizenzen erh\u00f6ht wurden. Anwenderorganisationen fanden diese Praxis fragw\u00fcrdig. Jetzt beginnt SAP auf ihre Forderungen reagieren, mit folgenden wichtigen Ank\u00fcndigungen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Umtausch von Lizenzen<\/strong> zu einem Hybrid-Modell von SAP On-Premise-und Cloud-L\u00f6sungen SAP. <a title=\"Lizenzmigration zu einem Hybrid-Modell \" href=\"http:\/\/www.sap.com\/corporate-en\/news.epx?category=ALL&amp;articleID=21284&amp;searchmode=C&amp;page=5&amp;pageSize=10\" target=\"_blank\">Siehe Pressemitteilung<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>R\u00fcckgabe von ungenutzten Lizenzen mit gleichzeitiger<strong> Neuberechnung der Wartung<\/strong>. <a title=\"Wartungspolitik\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dsag.de\/ueber-dsag\/ueber-dsag\/news\/details\/inhalt\/home\/dsag-erreicht-weitere-signifikante-verbesserungen-bei-der-sap-lizenz-und-wartungspolitik-zusaetzli.html\" target=\"_blank\">Siehe Pressemitteilung vom DSAG<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Beide Optionen sind signifikant, da nun alle Anwenderorganisationen ihre ungenutzte Software gegen n\u00fctzlichere w\u00e4hrend einer Neuanschaffung austauschen k\u00f6nnen. Die zweite Ank\u00fcndigung erm\u00f6glicht sogar die <strong>Wartungskosten zu reduzieren<\/strong>, wenn nicht den Kauf neuer Software damit einhergeht. Allerdings erfolgt dies mit einer Neuberechnung der alten Transaktion, die in vielen F\u00e4llen \u00fcberhaupt keine Geb\u00fchrenverringerung erzeugt!
