Question 1 of 8
💾
What is the size of your SAP database (current data volume)?
HANA is licensed per 64GB memory blocks. Your database size determines the minimum memory allocation required.
Under 500 GB
Small SAP footprint, typically 128-256 GB HANA memory
500 GB to 2 TB
Mid-size deployment, typically 512 GB - 1 TB HANA memory
2 TB to 10 TB
Large enterprise, typically 2 - 4 TB HANA memory
Over 10 TB
Very large deployment, 8+ TB HANA memory
Question 2 of 8
💻
How many SAP HANA instances do you need to licence?
Production, development, QA, sandbox, disaster recovery. Each requires separate HANA licensing unless covered by your agreement terms.
1 (production only)
2 to 3 (production + dev/QA)
4 to 6 (multiple landscapes)
More than 6 instances
Question 3 of 8
📊
Will you use HANA for SAP applications only or also non-SAP / analytics workloads?
SAP offers different HANA editions. Runtime edition (for SAP apps only) is cheaper. Full platform edition (analytics, BW, custom apps) costs significantly more.
Runtime only (SAP applications only)
S/4HANA, ECC on HANA, BW/4HANA only
Runtime + some analytics (embedded analytics)
Platform edition (SAP + custom HANA applications)
Enterprise edition (full platform + data tiering + multi-tenant)
Question 4 of 8
☁️
Where will you deploy HANA?
HANA on certified appliance vs cloud affects both hardware costs and licence structure. RISE with SAP bundles HANA into the subscription.
On-premise certified appliance
Traditional deployment on HANA-certified hardware
Hyperscaler IaaS (AWS, Azure, GCP)
Self-managed HANA on cloud infrastructure
RISE with SAP (HANA bundled)
HANA included in RISE subscription
HANA Enterprise Cloud (HEC)
SAP-managed private cloud
Question 5 of 8
📈
How much do you expect your data volume to grow annually?
HANA memory must accommodate data growth. Under-provisioning requires expensive add-on memory blocks. Over-provisioning wastes licence spend.
Under 10% per year
10% to 20% per year
20% to 40% per year
Over 40% per year
Question 6 of 8
💾
Do you plan to use HANA data tiering or extension nodes?
HANA native storage extension (NSE) and dynamic tiering can reduce memory requirements by moving cold data to cheaper storage layers.
Yes, we will use data tiering to reduce memory needs
We are considering it but have not decided
No, all data will remain in memory
I am not familiar with data tiering options
Question 7 of 8
🛡
Do you need high availability or disaster recovery for HANA?
HA/DR configurations require additional HANA licences for standby systems. SAP offers some DR licensing concessions but these must be negotiated.
No HA/DR required
HA only (same data centre failover)
HA + DR (cross-site replication)
Full HA + multi-site DR + backup standby
Question 8 of 8
💰
Do you currently own any SAP HANA licences or database licences that could be converted?
Existing Oracle, DB2, or older HANA licences may be eligible for conversion credits toward new HANA licensing. This can significantly offset costs.
Yes, we own HANA licences from a previous purchase
We own Oracle/DB2 licences that may be convertible
No existing database licences applicable
I am not sure what database licences we own
