While SAP CFO Luka Mucic was jubilant about the supposed successes in the cloud when he presented the Q2 figures - \"<em>We can look back on another strong quarter of accelerated growth for SAP's cloud portfolio. Customer demand was exceptionally good. We are therefore raising our outlook for revenues and operating profit<\/em>\" -, SAP's existing customers obviously disagree, as the user association DSAG announced in the conclusion of a recent survey: The majority of DSAG members will continue to rely on S\/4 Hana on-premise in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only just under half of the respondents have a positive attitude toward the cloud, and another quarter are neutral. The greatest challenges currently arise in the licensing models and costs. In the German-speaking market, therefore, not only does cloud appear to be a little accepted operating model, but the S\/4 transformation is also stalling due to the uncertainties surrounding the cloud licensing model FUE, Full User Equivalent.<\/p><div id=\"great-3647209426\" 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\n\n\n<p>It is therefore not the technical release change that SAP existing customers fear, but the higher maintenance fee and the expensive cloud subscriptions according to FUE. The Full User Equivalent is a key to how existing on-prem licenses must be converted into cloud subscription licenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without consolidation and precise license knowledge, this can result in new base amounts that are between 20 and 50 percent higher than the on-prem license base.
