A lot of basis and ABAP people feel protected by the ABAP keys and object keys for standard SAP changes. They have to be called off at SAP marketplace keys section.
Let me already give away the clue: since quite some time there is a KeyGen for ABAP and object keys. The protection is gone.
This blog will answer following questions:
- Where can I download the ABAP keygen?
- How to run the ABAP keygen?
- How should I protect my system from unwanted ABAP changes?
- S4HANA does not use developer keys and object keys any more, how should I protect my S4HANA system from unwanted ABAP changes?
Where can I download the ABAP keygen?
And SAP delivers the standard configs and demo data with the system and you are not supposed to edit the configuration in IDES system and so no question of access key comes in case of IDES (if you are checking developer access key or Object access key). Licensing part, you will get the IDES with the actual license for the products you purchased. Only after obtaining that ACCESS KEY, SAP will allow the DEVELOPER to create some objects or change or modify Delivered objects. Why ACCESS KEY - For creating or accessing any object someone should be responsible. You need this information to generate key. In case you do not have authorisation to generate access key you need to pass these information to the person you are requesting.

Running ABAP keygen
Running the executable is simple. But you need to run it in Windows 7 compatibility mode.

The whole idea of this blog is to show not to rely on the developer key procedure.
How should I protect developments?
The best way to protect your development is to carefully grant the S_DEVELOP privilege. Only give it to the right people and only give it to develop Z* range of code.
Deletion of old developer keys is still relevant. Read the dedicated blog on deletion of developer keys.

S4HANA developer key
The title is a bit misleading. In S4HANA there are no developer keys and object keys any more.

Background of this change be SAP can be found in OSS note: 2309060 – The SSCR license key procedure is not supported in SAP S/4 HANA.
So in S4HANA, you must set up authorizations for S_DEVELOP properly.
With S_DEVELOP you have to set create/change rights for the packages and or objects. For custom code only hand out Z* privileges.
If you hand out a * for the objects or classes, then the developer can also change standard SAP.
For more background and further information, read this dedicated blog on ABAP protection in S/4HANA.
I am not at all encouraging you to modify SAP standard programs or objects. But there are situations where you need to do this for example implementing form user exits in SD, creating objects as per sap notes etc. Whenever you modify an SAP standard objects or create object in SAP namespace system prompt you to enter access key. This is how you can generate this access key from service.sap.com.
You will get this dialog box if you try to modify SAP standard object. This gives you key of the object you are going to create or change along with SAP Release and Installation number. You need this information to generate key. In case you do not have authorisation to generate access key you need to pass these information to the person you are requesting.
Log on to service.sap.com with your credentials and click on link Keys & Requests.
Once you are in Keys and Requests click on ‘SSCR Keys’.
Now select Register Object.
Easiest way is to copy values from dialog box using Cntrl + Y method and paste it here in PgmID Type Object name and press Check button.
You will then have object validated with system name in bottom. Match your installation number and select it using square tick-box in first column and press Register.
You should have message Object successfully registered with Registration Key xxxx
Copy this number (access key) and paste it in dialog box which you had in SAP system.
And press Continue. System will now let you modify the object.
