I spent the better part of one hour yesterday talking to 2 different SAP sales reps who were very responsive but could not (yet) answer what looked like a simple question from a willing customer: Say that I have a database-backed website, running SQL Anwyhere of course, that I'd like to host in the cloud on one single AWS EC2 Amazon reports that Say that I don't need any fancy option and I can live with a Workgroup Edition. How many chips do I need to license? Sales (Belgium) did not know and need to get back to me. Now, for my own clarification, I fired up one The server console log reports this:
Am I correct in assuming that a 1-chip licence is all that's required, despite the 4 vCPUs/logical processors? |

Yes, you are correct. A single CPU license would be sufficient in this case. SQL Anywhere Workgroup Edition (which supports a maximum of 2 physical CPUs) would be sufficient. 1
So it's basically a valid and reasonable way to install a developer edition in a VM to get to know how many physical processors are detected and have to be licensed?

In this specific case, the number of CPUs reported by the developer edition matches the number of CPUs that need to be licensed. I can't promise that this will always be true, but it is a good starting point. Also note that you do not have to license all CPUs on a machine. You only need to license the CPUs that you want SQL Anywhere to use.

OK, so I re-phrase this to "get to know how many physical processors are detected and may have to be licensed?" :)
