The most recent version of SQL Anywhere is version 11.0.1. With version 11.0.1, Sybase revamped the SQL Anywhere Base Packaging. Starting with SQL Anywhere 11.0.1, the Base Packaging consists of three new Editions (Base Packages):
Workgroup Edition, Standard Edition, and Advanced Edition.
Workgroup Edition: The SQL Anywhere Base Packages have been renamed SQL Anywhere Workgroup Edition. The Workgroup Edition is available as a Multi-user Server (5-user, 10-user) or Personal Server (1 CPU).The Workgroup Edition supports up to 2 CPUs.
Standard Edition: The Standard Edition is designed for the growing number of customers needing guaranteed reliability and performance. Standard Edition includes everything in the Workgroup Edition plus SQL Anywhere High Availability and SQL Anywhere Monitoring. The Standard Edition supports up to 4 CPUs.
Advanced Edition: The SQL Anywhere Advanced Edition is targeted at enterprises that want to incorporate departmental servers into established IT environments and have increased requirements regarding performance or special use cases. The Advanced Edition includes everything included in the Standard Edition plus SQL Anywhere In-Memory Mode, Replication Agent for SQL Anywhere and RSA FIPS Security.
Note: The features included in the Standard or Advanced Editions that are not included in the Workgroup Edition (such as SQL Anywhere High Availability, Monitoring, Replication Agent and In-Memory Mode) will not be available as additional deployment licenses for versions 11.0.1 and later. To obtain licensing for these components for v11.0.1 and later customers will need to purchase the applicable edition of SQL Anywhere. Note that these components will continue to be available separately as additional deployment licenses for versions prior to v11.0.1.
SQL Anywhere 11.0.1 includes fixes and enhancements to 11.0.0 as well as the new SQL Anywhere Monitor to track the health of SQL Anywhere databases and MobiLink servers. SQL Anywhere 11.0.1 also marks the introduction of the Workgroup, Standard, and Advanced editions. The new Workgroup, Standard, and Advanced editions simplify the selection and purchase of SQL Anywhere for server environments while continuing to offer the same packaging for customers building embedded, desktop, mobile and remote solutions, and for OEMs who redistribute SQL Anywhere with their own applications. In particular,
Workgroup Edition continues to target existing customers using SQL Anywhere in server environments
Standard Edition addresses the growing number of customers needing guaranteed reliability and performance
Advanced Edition offers enterprises a departmental server that can be easily integrated into established IT environments
