SAP Database Compliance
Simplified & Protected.
Track and monitor SAP HANA, Sybase ASE, and MaxDB environments. Stay ahead of core-based and user-based licensing rules with secure local gateway collection.
Navigating Complex SAP HANA, Sybase, and MaxDB Licensing Models
SAP database systems feature highly specialized and diverse licensing models. For example, SAP Sybase ASE can be licensed based on Core-Based (OTG) or User-Based rules, while SAP HANA licensing often depends on maximum memory allocation levels or runtime overlays under specific SAP application contracts.
Without dedicated automated monitoring, organizations struggle to reconcile their actual database usage against their contracts, leaving them vulnerable to unexpected SAP audit claims. Licencify solves this complexity by collecting exact configuration metrics locally and mapping them directly to your active SAP licensing rules.
Are you exposed to core vs. user drift?
Many enterprise SAP environments run database instances under mixed contracts, where some servers are on core factors and others are user-licensed. An accidental configuration change, database upgrade, or replica alignment can trigger compliance drift that changes the licensing category retroactively under vendor audit rules.
How Licencify Computes Your SAP Position
Our containerized local gateway acts as a secure analytics engine, establishing a continuous bridge between your database parameters and virtualization clusters.
Query SAP Parameters
"Read-Only Metadata Query"
Licencify connects to your SAP HANA, Sybase, or MaxDB instances in read-only mode, extracting active core configurations, memory settings (for HANA), and installed software options in seconds.
Local Gateway Collection
"Secure Metadata Scrubbing"
Our containerized local gateway filters and pseudonymizes the database configuration data before it leaves your network segment. Sensitive data like application tables and usernames are fully scrubbed.
Calculate & Reconcile
"Contract Rule Alignment"
The compliance engine correlates the collected database parameters with SAP-specific core multipliers and memory tiers, outputting a precise, live Effective License Position (ELP).
HANA Memory & Core Tracking
SAP HANA database licensing rules are tightly coupled with the maximum memory capacity allocated to the server. When HANA databases are scaled or moved, memory parameters can easily drift past purchased limits. Licencify continuously maps memory allocations and physical core factors, alerting you the moment configuration changes expose your organization to compliance liabilities.
Multi-Model Capability
Licencify adapts to both core-based metric tables and user-based limits to ensure coverage across all your SAP database environments.
Database-safe, Read-Only Scans
We understand the critical nature of SAP operations. Licencify connects remotely and runs only SELECT queries over standard TCP/IP protocols. It does not install agent code on target systems, does not lock transaction logs, and operates with sub-microsecond run times. You can inspect all SQL statements before deploying the gateway.
Security-Desk Approved
The local container scrubs sensitive user details and app-specific schema data, sending only safe configuration metrics to the SaaS platform.
