It is planned to add further cloud solutions from SAP to this offer throughout 2021. Partners can allocate their market development funds for test and demo licenses.

These test and demo offerings extend to SAP Integration Suite and SAP Extension Suite powering SAP Business Technology Platform. A free tier model for the suites was announced at the SAP TechEd event in December 2020. This model is planned to become available later in 2021. In addition, a consumption-based model will become available for partners later in 2021. This new pay-as-you-go option, which calls for partners to pay for only the services they use, provides flexible access to development, test and demonstration licensing services for SAP Integration Suite and SAP Extension Suite.
