Worried about Netweaver Gateway License? – “It’s Free with your existing named licences”

1. You heard me its free

Blogs for reference –

http://scn.sap.com/community/gateway/blog/2011/10/17/thoughts-on-netweaver-gateway#comment-333317

“In simplistic terms, SAP now include NW Gateway licensing with existing named user licenses. This has the obvious caveat that you wont use NW Gateway for anything beyond what the user is licensed to do.”

“What I am sure about is that the availability of Net Weaver Gateway for all SAP customers without additional licensing costs greatly simplifies the Fiori licensing discussion.”

Talk about User Experience huh…… see the next steps on its way
