Pre-Installation Instructions
A. SAPgui and Kerberos Tickets

- If You cannot find the Ticket Viewer app (Catalina OS) then (re)install the Java JDK, reboot and it should show up.
NOTE: Your Kerberos tickets will last for 10 hours only, and have to be manually renewed if you wish to remain in SAP longer. If you do wish to remain in SAP longer than 10 hours, it's a good idea to renew them at least 20 minutes or so before they expire.
