Lease SAP Virtual Users

Lease SAP Virtual Users when you need to load test SAP applications. SAP Virtual Users (SAP VUs) can record and replay SAP traffic, and they can also run Web tests when you need them.

Your total Web Virtual Users for a test is the sum of Web VUs and SAP VUs in your lease. For example, a license with 500 SAP VUs lets you run a test with 500 SAP VUs, 500 Web VUs, or any combination that totals 500. A license with 500 SAP VUs and 1,000 Web VUs lets you run up to 1,500 Web VUs, 500 SAP VUs, or any combination of the two.

You can also lease SAP Virtual Users in offline mode. For more information, see Manage licenses offline.

You manage SAP leases from Help > License management > License, under the Use a Server option.
