Once there you will need to complete 5 steps in order to generate the key.
Step 1:
On step number 1, select the Installation number that you want to request the license key for and select “Search”.
Step 2:
On step number 2, select “New system”.

SAP Note 1285639 (What license types are available for BusinessObjects Enterprise) contains details of the different license types such as named, concurrent & CPU licenses.
Potential errors:
In order to generate the license key your S-User ID will need the correct authorization (LIKEY) assigned to it. If this is missing SAP Note 1511008 (How to assign authorizations for another S-User ID) provides details of how your company Super Administrator can assign or amend your authorizations.
If the version that you want to create the license key for is not selectable it could be out of maintenance. Information on product & version maintenance is available on the SAP Product Availability Matrix. If it is not in maintenance you would be unable to generate a license key for it. Instead you will need to upgrade to a version that is in maintenance and request a license key for that version.
If the number or type of licenses that are available to you are incorrect you should contact your SAP account executive who will be able to resolve this. Once this is done the correct number of licenses will be available for selection.
