Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Confirm that the SAP license agreement allows running on AWS and that the target instance types are SAP certified
SAP license mobility allows customers to run their existing SAP licenses on AWS, but only if the license agreement explicitly permits it. Additionally, the target AWS instance types must be SAP certified to ensure compliance with SAP's technical requirements. Option D is correct because it addresses both contractual and technical prerequisites. Option A is incorrect because Amazon RDS does not support SAP BYOL; SAP databases on AWS use EC2. Option B is incorrect because linking AWS account to SAP's portal is not a licensing requirement. Option C is incorrect because purchasing a new license from AWS Marketplace is not necessary for license mobility.

These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. A company is migrating its SAP ERP system to AWS and needs to ensure that the SAP license is compliant. The company has a production license for SAP ERP. What should the company do for licensing on AWS?
medium- A.Request a free SAP license for AWS from SAP.
- B.Use a subscription-based SAP license from the AWS Marketplace.
- C.Purchase a new SAP license for AWS.
- ✓ D.Use the existing SAP license under the Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model.
Why D: AWS supports the Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model for SAP, allowing the company to use its existing SAP ERP license on AWS. Option A is incorrect because SAP does not offer a free license for AWS. Option B is incorrect because while subscription licenses are available, the company already has a production license, so BYOL is the appropriate choice. Option C is incorrect because purchasing a new license is unnecessary when the existing license can be reused under BYOL.
