SAP Focused Run is not part of the maintenance contract. Every customer who wants to use SAP Focused Run needs to purchase a valid license.
SAP Focused Run is based on SAP HANA database. It provides different use cases with different scaling factors. Appropriately, we selected the SAP HANA memory that is consumed in total by all SAP Focused Run use cases as the only criteria for calculating the license fee. One gigabyte of consumed SAP HANA memory translates in one ordered SAP Focused Run unit.
No, the SAP Focused Run license includes the HANA usage license as well as the SAP NetWeaver ABAP license.
We are offering to conduct a SAP Focused Run introduction session followed by a SAP Focused Run positioning workshop. Based on this, we will provide you with a detailed and functional architecture overview, scoping for your concrete situation, appropriate hardware sizing, as well as a calculation of the HANA used memory consumption. You can then contact your SAP sales representative to send you a quotation based on your specific SAP licensing conditions.

Yes. The minimum amount of SAP Focused Run units that can be ordered is 100.
No. You can distribute your acquired units over different installed systems, but the total amount of used SAP HANA memory across all systems cannot exceed your ordered volume. By distributing SAP Focused Run units over different systems it is to be expected that more HANA memory will be used than running all units in one system.
No. The calculation of the used SAP HANA memory is only relevant for the productively used SAP Focused Run systems. No additional SAP Focused Run units are needed for development or quality-assurance systems. However, you are not allowed to run only non-productive SAP Focused Run systems.
