Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Download: Retrieve the patch package from the SAP Software Download Center (Maintenance > Support Packages and Patches). Look for SAPGUI710_16-10002979.exe (filename varies slightly based on source).
  2. Backup: It is best practice to take a screenshot of your current logon pad configuration or export your connection files, just in case the installation resets local settings.
  3. Execution: Run the .exe installer.
    • Note: If you are using the "Installation Server" for network deployments, you must update the server product tree first using the NwCreateInstServer tool before rolling out to clients.
  4. Verification:
    • Open SAP Logon Pad.
    • Click the System Status button or navigate to the "About" screen.
    • Check the file version of saplogon.exe or guixt.exe. It should reflect a build number consistent with the Patch Level 16 (typically build numbers in the 16xx range).

Key Characteristics of This Build:

  • Date of release: Approximately 2012–2013 (post-mainstream support)
  • File size: ~500–600 MB for the full Windows 32-bit installer
  • Architecture: Primarily 32-bit, but can run on 64-bit Windows via WoW64 (Windows on Windows 64)
  • Support status: End of mainstream maintenance – No new patches beyond this level are available from SAP (unless you have a custom maintenance agreement).

3. SSL/TLS Backports

By the time Patch 15/16 was released, older encryption standards were being deprecated. This patch included backported SSL libraries to allow SAP GUI 7.10 to connect to SAP Web Dispatchers and Message Servers using modern (for the era) TLS 1.0/1.1 protocols.

Step 5: Legacy Retirement

  • Keep one reference VM with SAP GUI 7.10 Patch 16 Level 15 for archival or emergency debugging. Do not keep it on the production network.
