      Hi Abjit,

      You can use the SAP PartnerEdge Open Ecosystem font treatment as long as you have signed the Open Ecosystem agreement and achieved the sell or service authorization.

      You can access the font treatment logo and usage guidelines from the Brand essentials enablement kit located here on the SAP PartnerEdge partner portal.

      If you have not signed the Open Ecosystem agreement, you can do so by applying online on sap.com here, and scroll down to the section "I Want to Explore Before I Decide."  Open Ecosystem is a no-fee membership level that provides you with access to limited products, and you can access learning and training, too.

      Below, is the section on link that I supplied above where you to apply for membership with the designation of SAP PartnerEdge Open Ecosystem;  scroll down and click on the blue select button:

      I trust that info helps, and if you have further questions, let me know.

      Thanks,

      Jerry
