Hi, I tried to register for the workshop.. but its not allowing.. How should i proceed ? what is the procedure?
Hi Annapoorani,
If you don't see the session in the Learning Hub, or get an error that the course is not available, then it is most likely that while you do have access to the SAP Learning Hub, you don't have access to the SAP Enterprise Support Edition of the Learning Hub.
There are several "Editions", which essentially allow you to see different catalogs of materials.
First step, register for the SAP Learning Hub, edition for SAP Enterprise Support.
https://support.sap.com/en/offerings-programs/enterprise-support/enterprise-support-academy/learn.html
This will be sent to the email address associated with the S-User.
Please try again to register once completed.
Best Regards,
Michael.
Hi Michael
Thanks for writing a blog ,very well explained Appreciated
Hi, What is the process to register if we do not have LH licenses?
Hi Werner,
The SAP Enterprise Support Edition of the Learning Hub is free.
The only requirement is that you have an S user and either a subscription to any of our SAP cloud solutions (which have Enterprise Support maintenance by default), or have an SAP Enterprise Support maintenance contract for any of your on-premise SAP solutions.
There are several "Editions" of the Learning Hub, which essentially allow you to see different catalogs of materials.
If you are unsure, the easiest way is just to register anyway.
You will either have eligibility with your S User or you will not!

Same issue for me: I have the LH Analytics Edition

Please follow the steps I have outlined in my replies above.
