  The SAP error message /SAPSLL/CON_LDET028 License &1 already existing typically occurs in the context of SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) or SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) when there is an attempt to create or import a license that already exists in the system. This can happen during the creation of a new license or when trying to upload license data.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate License Entry: The primary cause of this error is that the license you are trying to create or import already exists in the system with the same identifier (e.g., license number).
  Data Import Issues: If you are importing data from an external source, there may be duplicate entries in the source data.
  Incorrect License Number: The license number you are trying to use may have been entered incorrectly, leading to confusion with existing licenses.

  Check Existing Licenses: Before creating a new license, check the existing licenses in the system to confirm whether the license number you are trying to use is already present. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP GTS or SCM.
  
  
  Use a Unique License Number: If the license already exists, consider using a different, unique license number for the new entry.
  
  
  Modify Existing License: If you need to update or change the details of the existing license, you can do so instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  Data Cleanup: If you are importing data, ensure that the source data does not contain duplicates. Clean up the data before importing it into the SAP system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing licenses in your version of SAP GTS or SCM.
