Installing SAP on a Computer

In order to access the SAP system, you must have the SAP GUI (Graphical User Interface)  software installed on your computer. The GUI must always be maintained at the current version and patch level.

  • If you have a PC with Windows XP or a Mac, you may choose the self-install option for installation or upgrading the SAP GUI.
  • If you have a PC with Vista or Windows 7, please contact the IT Helpdesk to have the SAP GUI installed.

When requesting assistance with the SAP GUI installation, Indicate if you need it installed on a Mac or a PC.  If PC, please include your operating system information (XP, Vista, Windows7, etc.).
