I have one server for data warehousing, and it has 2 instances of
SSAS
(SQL SERVER Analysis Services
).
The data warehouses are not that big, less that 200GB, and I backup the whole thing on a daily basis.
Now they have asked me to patch\upgrade it:

I wish I had different servers for LIVE and TEST environments.
Where can I find information about the costs of licensing involved for a small server just to run a SSAS
instance?
I am talking about a simple, single, machine, with windows server 2012 R2 and the latest ssas
.
Also, patching for SSAS
is anyhow different from sql server
?
I find licensing costs a tricky topic sometimes, with not-so-clear or contradictory information around.
