licensing concern, SAP SQL Anywhere, Workgroup edition

Former Member

hi folks, I have a licensing question:

I have a client who has 10 full time users and 10 additional part time users, for a total of max 20 users at any one time.  The temp users may rotate, throughout the year.  The server is a 1 CPU, 4 cores.  What is the best licensing model for SAP SQL Anywhere 17, Workgroup Edition, for this scenario, for a Delphi app, connecting to the server for these users?

thanks much,

Cos

SAP SQL Anywhere Editions are listed in the link above.

From the product manual:

"Per-seat licensing: A per-seat license restricts the number of client connections to the database server. With per-seat licensing, the network database server can use all CPUs available on your computer, but not more than the maximum allowed by the SQL Anywhere edition you are running. If a CPU contains cores or threads, all cores and threads of the CPU may be used.

CPU-based lisensing: With CPU-based licensing, the network database server uses up to the number of CPUs specified in your license, but not more than the maximum allowed by the SQL Anywhere edition you are running. If a CPU contains multiple cores or threads, all cores and threads of the CPU may be used".
