SAP HANA License management and keys are required to use HANA database. You can install or delete HANA License keys using HANA studio.
Types of License keys
SAP HANA system supports two types of License keys −
Temporary License Key
Temporary License keys are automatically installed when you install the HANA database. These keys are valid only for 90 days and you should request permanent license keys from SAP marketplace before the expiry of 90 days period after installation.
Permanent License Key
Permanent License keys are valid only till the predefined expiration date. License keys specify the amount of memory licensed to target HANA installation. They can be installed from SAP Marketplace under Keys and Requests tab. When a permanent License key expires, a temporary license key is issued, which is valid for only 28 days. During this period, you have to install a permanent License key again.
There are two types of permanent License keys for HANA system −
- Unenforced − If unenforced license key is installed and consumption of HANA system exceeds the license amount of memory, the operation of SAP HANA is not affected in this case.
- Enforced − If Enforced license key is installed and consumption of HANA system exceeds the license amount of memory, HANA system gets locked. If this situation occurs, HANA system has to be restarted or a new license key should be requested and installed. The others movie in hindi dubbed 2019.

There are various scenarios when your SAP HANA system locks down. This happens when a License key expires or license keys are deleted.
When a system is locked, it is not possible to run any transactions by connecting to the database. To renew license keys/unlock the system, only HANA user with License Admin system privilege can connect to HANA database.
Following are the scenarios which can cause the lockdown of SAP HANA system −
- When hardware license key changes and Temporary license key is used in SAP HANA system.
- Temporary License key expires in HANA system.
- All license keys installed in HANA database are deleted.
- SAP HANA system permanent license key expires and has not been renewed in the grace time period of 28 days.
