SAP Private Cloud Automated User Metering Guideline

MEASUREMENT TOOLS

The metering of Private Cloud systems will be triggered centrally

for all your systems to free up capacity on your side. This is
technically possible with the following releases :

• ≥ SAP BASIS 752

• Including all Support Packages
Your systems need to be on any of those releases to be enabled
for the automated metering.
