SAP Business One licensing schema

[januarfx8899]

Dear Experts,

I have a question about SAP Business One version for HANA in virtualization environment, If I intends to utilize VMware SRM for Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) scenario, will there be any impact on their hardware key if I activate the secondary server? Will it change or the secondary server will using the same hardware key? In my experience, in SQL version the hardware key still the same, but how about in HANA version?

Thank you,

SAP Business One, version for SAP HANA

When using SAP Business One for HANA in a virtualization environment with disaster recovery (e.g., VMware SRM), the hardware key is tied to the specific hardware of the server. As I know, activating a secondary server will generate a different hardware key, as it is bound to that specific system.

For disaster recovery scenarios, SAP allows the use of temporary license keys on the secondary server. These temporary keys enable system functionality during failover periods but are tied to the hardware of the secondary server.
