Question Re: Runtime Engine in Technology Q&A

Runtime Engine

Former Member — Mon, 15 Feb 2016 15:57:56 GMT

Is the runtime engine still offered with SQL Anywhere? We purchased a runtime license for SQLA 9, and we distribute it with a small windows exe, but I can't tell if the runtime engine license is available anymore.

If it's not available, what alternatives exist, both in the context of SQLA and other solutions?

Thanks in advance.

That seems a somewhat hidden information - confine the comments below that older answer on a RTENG11 question, particularly that quote:

[...]AFAIK the runtime engine is no longer available for SQL Anywhere version 12.

Further evidence might be that v11 describes the "IsRuntime" server property as following:

IsRuntimeServer: Returns Yes if connected to the limited desktop runtime database server, and No otherwise.

where v12 and up tell:

IsRuntimeServer: Returns No for all versions of the database server.

I don't know if i get your question right... a "runtime"-license is still available for OEM-Partner or Resellers to Deploy the database with own part of software.

The Runtime Engine is no longer offered with the SQL Anywhere product, and hasn't been for some time.

As @pmiller indicated, there is a program for OEM Partners to include portions of the product with their application. There is a cost to this. If you are interested, contact SAP Sales, and inquire about the OEM program.
