Where to Import License in SAP Business One

To begin the SAP Business One license import, go to:

Administration → License → License Administration

In the License Administration window, click Import License File. Locate the license text file provided by your technical team or sent directly to you, then click Open to proceed.


How to Verify Imported Licenses in SAP B1

After completing the SAP B1 license import process, check the B1 user type licenses section to confirm the number of licenses imported.

You should also verify the details in the license file, including the installation number and customer number, to ensure accuracy.

Once confirmed, log out and log back into SAP Business One to apply the changes.


Important Reminders During License Import

Before importing a SAP Business One license file, ensure that no users are logged into the system. This prevents conflicts during the import process.

After logging back in:

  • Temporary licenses will display an expiration message
  • Permanent licenses will not show any expiration notice

If the number of imported licenses does not match your request, contact your SAP partner or support team for assistance.


Proper SAP Business One license management ensures uninterrupted system access and accurate license allocation for all users.
