License Advisory Service

License Advisory Service

The License Advisory Service (LAS) is designed to provide customers with a clear understanding of SAP products, the quantities, and the applicable use rights they are licensed for in a standardized and structured format​.

Initiated by the customer and not by SAP's contractual audit rights, this advisory service can be requested by the customer at any time and its delivery depends on GLAC resource availability.

The LAS is not based on a license measurement and therefore does not replace or circumvent SAP standard audit rights.
