of release SAP NetWeaver AS Java 7.10 and SAP Netweaver AS ABAP 7.11), is created
automatically. You must apply for a permanent license key immediately after installing your SAP

permanent license key you will get the Maintenance Certificate, which is a prerequisite for
updates. For more information on the Maintenance Certificate see section B.3). To do so, see

B.3) Maintenance Certificate
As of 2008, SAP requires a Maintenance Certificate for the installation of SAP Support Packages.
The Maintenance Certificate is valid for 3 months and enables the software logistic tools (e.g.
Support Package Manager) to identify your SAP system and the exact scope of your
corresponding SAP maintenance agreement.
1) It can be obtained automatically via SAP Solution Manager. This is the preferred option as it
ensures regular automated updates of the Maintenance Certificate.

All available SAP Support Packages and patches for SAP IS-U LOCINCS 6.0 can be downloaded
from the Software Download Center on the SAP Service Marketplace at
http://service.sap.com/patches (see below).
You are advised to always install the latest SAP Support Package stacks, which group a set of
SAP Support Packages and patches.
While running SAP software, you may encounter errors that are caused not by the SAP products,
but by the database, operating system, hardware, or other application products.
1. This applies to all other products, such as all operating systems and hardware, as well as
the database IBM DB2/400, non-SAP application products, and database administration
tools/functions, if applicable.
The contact for support for these products is the product vendor. If the error was originally
reported to SAP, SAP Support forwards the message concerned to the respective
partner’s support organization. SAP has agreements with all partners that clearly define
the procedures for forwarding these customer support messages.
Note that the partner only provides support if you have a valid support contract with the
product vendor for the product in question. Note also that the service times (weekends
and nights, for example) are an important component in this contract.
2. Check whether your support contracts match our partners’ recommendation or the above-
mentioned conditions and, if required, contact the partner or service-provider for the
partner products directly.
You can download software, such as SAP Support Packages, from the Software Download
Center. To access the Software Download Center from the SAP Service Marketplace homepage,
