The licence ledger
IllustrativeThe commercial shape of an SAP estate, as a buyer reads it
- Basis of charge
- Per module, per user. Coverage is additive; so is the invoice.
- Discount condition
- Conditional on term length and on committing across licence, cloud and support together.
- Maintenance clock
- The supported-release date is the vendor's to set. The migration it forces is priced as a new programme.
- On exit
- Configuration, integrations and process knowledge sit inside the vendor's estate — not in an asset you hold.
Shape only — the direction of travel, not a quantity. Your own curve comes from your own renewal schedule.
