Use SAP S/4HANA cloud use types and their weighting factors to calculate Full Usage Equivalent (FUE) licenses for different types of users of SAP S/4HANA Cloud applications.
FUE licenses can be allocated to different cloud use types with a specific weighting factor. For more information on FUE licenses, see [Software Asset Management publisher pack for SAP](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/C2EF0K7J9xrDSZ31XNi0Kg "Use the Software Asset Management publisher pack for SAP to manage and optimize your SAP licenses.

Weighting factor can be defined as a numeric value associated with a cloud use type and it is used for FUE license calculation. The following table mentions the weighting factors for different cloud use types:
