Software Development Kit - Development Version license

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

When I go under Administration >> License >> License Administration. I go under the Components tab, I see a license component called "Software Development Kit - Development Version".

1) What does this license mean and what are the functionality of this component.

2) Even though I have 20 licenses for this component, I do not have the ability to assign this license to any users in SAP.

Any help on this topic is appreciated.

Thanks,

Krishnan

Hi Krishnan,

Here are the answers for your questions :

1. The license is used to develop the a solution (add-on/extension) by a SAP B1 VAR (SAP partner company) or SAP B1 customer who want to develop their own solution (add-on/extension) using the API/s.

When you develop the add-on solution and your add-on is installed either in SAP B1 (using UI API) or not, the add-on have to assign with add-on identifier.

The add-on identifier is the add-on connection method. The add-on identifier can't be generated if you have no SDK development license. here is the screen shot of add-on identifier generator where you can generate the identifier:

In the above screen shot, if you can have 3 types of add-on. you can choose one of the add-on type.

2. The SDK license component is not a standalone license that can be seen in the license administration but you must have a SAP Business One Add-on-Access User or external license i.e. SAP B1 VAR addon solution. See the green box in the screen capture below:

Conclusion:

If you have the add-on solution, you need the add-on-access user or the external license to run the add-on for SAP B1 user.

If you have no SDK license, then you can't develop a solution (add-on/extension)
