“Hosted SAP” describes delivery
It means the server runs remotely. It does not automatically include cloud-only apps, integrations or administration rights.
Comparison guide
SAP Cloud Access vs On-Premise
SAP cloud access describes how you reach a hosted system; it does not by itself identify the SAP product edition. An on-premise setup is operated on an organisation’s infrastructure. Compare the software, data, permissions and responsibility for setup separately.
AT A GLANCE
Compare what matters
| What to check | Organisation-managed setup | ERP Server Access |
|---|---|---|
| Who runs the environment | Your organisation or its appointed operator. | We operate the hosted practice environment. |
| How users connect | Depends on the organisation’s network and interface setup. | Through the supplied SAP GUI or available browser connection. |
| What access allows | Set by the organisation’s roles and system scope. | Practice within the provided user permissions and configuration. |
| Product edition | Must be checked separately from the hosting location. | Our individual plans include SAP_ALL for all functional T-codes, SPRO configuration and ABAP development on SAP S/4HANA 2023. This is not Public Edition tenant access. |

The edition describes the software
Look for the product and release your course names. A browser screenshot alone is not enough to identify them.
STEP BY STEP

Which product and release?
Match these to your learning material.
Which task and interface?
Confirm the required app, connection route and data.
Who handles support?

Understanding the options2 questions
Is hosted access always SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition?
No. A remotely hosted SAP system can be a different product or edition. Check the actual offer.
Can an on-premise system have a browser interface?
Yes. Browser access is a connection option and does not by itself identify where the server is hosted.
Choosing your setup2 questions
Do I manage the cloud infrastructure with your access?
No. Individual access is a practice user account, not an infrastructure administration subscription.
Does my employer’s production account replace a practice account?
Use only environments and tasks your employer authorises. A practice system is intended for learning; production records should not be used for unapproved experiments.
Access and next steps2 questions
What is the benefit of hosted practice?
You can work on compatible exercises without arranging and maintaining the SAP server yourself.
Does hosted S/4HANA access include every integration?
No. A hosted S/4HANA login does not by itself include a separate cloud tenant or external development environment or connection to an external system. Check each product and exercise dependency separately; configured integrations and permissions determine what you can use.
