Currently, however, a veritable flood of innovations is rolling in. This includes a completely new licensing model for indirect use with an associated (not yet available) measurement method from SAP.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, SAP's attempt to establish authorization-based user licensing, with an equally unavailable measurement method, SAP's more or less gentle compulsion to migrate to S\/4 Hana, including the migration of license agreements, or the discontinuation of some of SAP's on-premise solutions in favor of numerous new SAP cloud solutions. Increased \"extended audits\" by SAP are also to be expected.<\/p><div id=\"great-1443451883\" class=\"great-fullsize-content-en\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6yfv7eho3Gc\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Fullsize\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150.jpg\" alt=\"Fullsize\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-400x50.jpg 400w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-768x96.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-100x13.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-480x60.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-640x80.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-720x90.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-960x120.jpg 960w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-1168x146.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-18x2.jpg 18w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-600x75.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" width=\"1200\" height=\"150\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>It is also an exciting time for us as a solution provider, because we want to give our customers the tools to deal with the challenges as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Hot summer, stormy autumn\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-54387\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Joachim-Paulini.jpg\" alt=\"Hot summer, stormy autumn\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Joachim-Paulini.jpg 800w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Joachim-Paulini-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Joachim-Paulini-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Joachim-Paulini-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Joachim-Paulini-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Joachim-Paulini-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Joachim-Paulini-720x720.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Joachim-Paulini-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Joachim-Paulini-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Joachim-Paulini-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Joachim-Paulini-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For example, we were able to provide powerful reporting on the new indirect usage license metric only a few days after the relevant SAP guidance was published.<\/p>\n<p>This makes it possible to assess whether the new licensing model is even worth considering or whether the SAP customer might be better off with the old model after all.<\/p>\n<p>By no means should the impression be conveyed here that this is all and always possible immediately at the push of a button. Even with our solution, for example, an analysis of the RFC data traffic of the SAP systems with the outside world takes time and requires manual rework - but without solution support, such a task is simply not possible.<\/p>\n<p>For example, we were able to \"rediscover\" previously undocumented interfaces to third-party systems for one of our customers during such an interface analysis, with over one million data records, and thus decisively help to be immune to surprises during the upcoming SAP audit.<\/p>\n<p>With Snow Optimizer for SAP Software, you can gain an information advantage and precise control not only in the currently hot field of indirect usage. But also in such well-known fields as direct usage by SAP Named Users, the analysis and optimization of authorization roles, the usage of engines and many other license-relevant aspects. Combined with an enormous gain in time and quality and a degree of automation that would not be possible without the tool.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/en\/partners\/snow-software\/\"><img
