Dear Gurus & Members, I am installing SAP ECC 5.00 Netweaver. I am at a stage wherein the system asks me for the 'SOLUTION MANAGER KEY'. What is this? From where can i get this or how do i generate it. The installation key needs to be generated in your Solution Manager. SAP considers a Solution Manager a prerequisite for any installation or upgrade to ECC 5.0 and above. The procedure to obtain the installation or upgrade key is as follows: Log on to the Solution Manager system. Call transaction SMSY. Open landscape components.

May 30, 2012 Therefore generating SAP solution manager key is one of the most important pre-steps of an SAP installation or upgrade. SMSY is the transaction code used to generate a solution manager key for installing a new SAP system or upgrading an SAP system.
Today I see a mail from some “SAP Consultant” asking us why SAP Solution Manager Key don’t work on SMSY…
Well, as indicated on the next SAP note, Solution Manager Key is no longed provided trough SMSY transaction, you have to do that using LMDB as indicated on note:
You can see on the next pictures how to access to that LMDB functionality:

To do that you don’t need to finish the managed system setup, you can select any system on LMDB technical systems selection and then click on Generate Installation Key, then on the next screen only fill the fields with the correct information to generate the KEY.
I check SAP notes to see if there is any new update about that, and found the next one interesting:
811923 – SAP Solution Manager Key
Microsoft office 365 personal product key generator.
“…The SAP Solution Manager Key is no longer required…“
I don’t install SAP software but it’s curious to see people for Solution Manager Key, and there is a note where SAP indicate that the key is not longer required :-O
Anyone have more information about that last SAP note ?
