What you get

  • One light client

    SAP GUI is a small desktop client — the SAP system itself stays on the server.

  • Windows

    SAP GUI for Windows 7.70 or later is the most feature-complete option.

  • macOS and Linux

    SAP GUI for Java provides the same logon and transaction experience.

  • Connection entry

    Add one entry per system; you can keep several systems side by side.

Included as standard

Everything below comes with every environment

  • Activated in hours

    Most environments are handed over the same working day, with credentials and a quick-start note.

  • Secure remote access

    Encrypted logins, isolated users and clean deletion when your environment ends.

  • Daily backups

    Snapshots every day with restore on request, so a wrong transport never costs you a week.

  • Human support

    Reach an SAP infrastructure engineer on call, WhatsApp or email — not a ticket queue.

Need to know

Common questions

Do I need a specific SAP GUI version?

Any recent release connects; we recommend 7.70 or later for Fiori-era systems.

Can I use a browser instead?

On S/4HANA you can use the Fiori launchpad in a browser for Fiori apps; classic transactions still need SAP GUI.

Will SAP GUI slow my laptop down?

No — it is a thin client and uses very little memory.
