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: > Thank you yes, this indicates it is a 2016 SP1.

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. enter image description here
