SAP Special License Types
“Special license types can be defined by your organisation. This form of license isn?t considered ?official? as it is created by your local SAP Office, rather than SAP itself.”
Software Engines
“SAP engines are also known as SAP packages, and they are external components that are on offer to organisations should they need them.”
