I have install SAP Gui 7.40 in my macbook air. I can't open the apps and it keeps mentioning "You can't open the application "SAPGUI 7.40" because it is not responding". The version and patch can't be determined as I cannot open the apps.


You will want to get hold of the installation media of SAPGUI for Java version 7.70 or later (the freeware version 7.50 from e.g. SAP NetWeaver Developer Edition, has a different installation procedure (requires separate OpenJFX 11 library), and anyway the version 7.50 is well out of date at time of writing, March 2022). We will show how S-users and P-users can get hold of the relevant media (also we show how anyone can get an SAP Community P-user).


If you need SAP Secure Login Client, we show how an S-user can get hold of the installation media for that (this particular software might not be available to P-users, but then again SSO tends to be found more in organisations than in the SAP POC world of SAP Community developers).


The platform-dependent installation programs use the inbuilt SapMachine during the installation, thus no installed Java Virtual Machine is required. Depending on your platform, the following files are applicable:


Note that as of June 2022, the DMG available for P-users [version 7,70rev1] only installs on Intel-based MacBooks and does not work for M1 MacBooks; so, the DMG approach is only for those who either (a) have an Intel-based MacBook, or (b) have an M1 MacBook and can get hold of a working DMG [later versions such as 7,70rev6 works fine for M1 MacBook] via an S-user.


(c) Reinstall the SAPGUI client (e.g. as shown above in this blog; if using the JAR method then make sure you have suitable java and javac versions available and environment variables set); then get any needed local xml files back into the (regenerated via install) folder: /Library/Preferences/SAP/


For whatever reason the dmg installer option didn't work for me ("Installer.app is damaged and can't be opened. You should eject the disk image"), but as the P-user media also includes a JAR, so it was easy enough to smoke-test installing this version 7.70 rev 1 successfully.


Good to know. I guess I downloaded the 7.70 rev 4 on 11th February 2022 so I've been working with that one the last couple of weeks. Updated blog and credited the advice on revision 5 to yourself. Time for me to also install the most recent version then!


Thanks for the info, I never realised that option existed before - updated the blog to provide this hint to everyone, and credited yourself for advice. Plus noted that it might be the Mac user has to switch choice of OS to ensure they get the correct packages. (In the past I have sometimes myself forgotten to do this and tried to install the Linux version on MacBook... ? ).


Actually, now I just realised by testing with a DMG, that this blog needed quite a bit of modification to accommodate people who prefer the nice n easy DMG method for installing. So quite a few changes made. E.g. a new Search-string for those who don't have an existing SAPGUI client and need to wade through the Software Downloads site using Search.


For P-users, since the DMG available seems unusable, so only the JAR method is still a valid option for them. For the S-users or those who get their installation media via an S-user, the DMG method is the simpler one


thanks for your excellent post. I was also struggling with the installation of SAP GUI for Java on MacOs - and honestly still haven't solved the problem yet - means I still use a Windows with SAPGui to connect to the SAP backend.


I use SNC with SSO via Secure Login Client on my Macbook. After installation of SLC the environment variables SNC_LIB and SNC_LIB_64 point to /Applications/Secure Login Client.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/libsapcrypto.dylib

It is not possible to use SAP in Mac OSes. The following steps will enable you to use SAP on Macs on Windows desktop. Windows can benefit from the installation of a Parallels platform (version 4 or higher, an acadmic version of the software should set you back $40). 2ff7e9595c
