Hello Lyubomira,
I just downlodard the Licence TXT file from service marketplace and installed it via transaction SLICENCE.
Unfortunately the CAL instance will always be stoped after several minutes with the information "Check the solution for expiration". If I look into the backend and check the licence status, everything looks fine and the licence status is green.
Have I missed something?
S/4HANA 1909 fully-activated running on Azure.
Thanks for your help

Hi Christian,
Do you have a purchased subscription for SAP Cloud Appliance Library?
Here you can read the product documentation regarding using a solution with a free trial period in the SAP Cloud Appliance Library, and then how to continue using it after the expiration of the trial period:

Hello - I recently purchased a CAL system, and successfully generated and uploaded license keys via SLICENSE.
I am now trying to generate SSCR keys for my users. However, the installation number (as seen in SLICENSE) is not available to register developers against.
I tried registering developers against the "SAP CLOUD APPLIANCE LIBRARY" installation, just in case there was some weird association with CAL installations and their corresponding ECC installations, but as expected that did not work either.
Am I missing something? Shouldn't I be able to register developers for my SAP CAL installation?
Just to follow up for anyone else having a similar issue - somehow I had an extra installation associated, probably from when I was trying to get it working as a trial. I removed both installations and deleted the keys from SLICENSE, then went back and started from 0.
