Hi
We have licenses for the SQL Anywhere 17 workgroup edition. As I read here: link:http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-54533 the workgroup edition is now renamed Edge and I see in the table that it's supporting 8 cores. The workgroup edition had only 2 cores with the license. SELECT PROPERTY ('NumPhysicalProcessorsUsed') shows still only 2 for the SQL Anywhere version 17.0.4. As there are more than 2 processors available on the server, how and can I get the current database to support the 8 cores?
Regards, Robert
It just might be as easy as [cough] telling the Workgroup edition that it is now the Edge edition...
[WHISPER] That seems to work for the Developer Edition. [/WHISPER]

Did you try it?
The -l changes the license type from Perseat to Core, and the -u specifies the number of cores 🙂
At least it did for the Developers Edition, which originally looked like this...
SQL Anywhere Server Licensing Utility Version 17.0.4.2053 License read successfully. Developer Edition Add-on: High Availability Add-on: In-Memory mode Add-on: Scale-out Nodes Licensed nodes: 3 User: Developer Edition Company: Restricted Use Install key:
I tried it and it works like in your example. But I think I have now also changed the license type from per-seat to core. As I have per-seat licenses, I think it's commercially spoken not correct to run the database serve now per cores, correct? Is there a way to keep the license type and change the maximum number of cores used by the database server? I think thats what the SQL Anywhere Editions sheet says.
