Detailed information on Anka Licensing

{{< hint info >}} Anka Licensing for Apple Silicon machines is determined based on host count and host model and not on CPU core count. We have a special migration path for licensing for our existing Intel users. Contact us for more details. {{< /hint >}}

Anka licenses are available for the following products:

  • [Anka Develop]({{< relref "anka-develop.md" >}}) - Allows a developer to run a single VM at a time. Supported only on laptops (Macbook, Macbook Pro, and Macbook Air).
  • [Anka Build Basic]({{< relref "anka-build-cloud/build-license-tiers.md" >}}) - All Basic features to configure and run macOS CI Cloud infrastructure.
  • [Anka Build Enterprise]({{< relref "anka-build-cloud/build-license-tiers.md" >}}) - Basic + additional features for grouping, priority provisioning, etc.
  • [Anka Build Enterprise Plus]({{< relref "anka-build-cloud/build-license-tiers.md" >}}) - Enterprise + additional features to support SSO and event logging.

Commercial Licenses

{{< hint info >}} Commercial Anka licenses are issued for yearly license subscription which includes updates, upgrades, and standard support. They can be purchased for a single year or multiple years. {{< /hint >}}

{{< hint info >}} Commercial licenses are automatically extended in activated Anka software if days to expiration is < 30 days. The machine where you've installed Anka must have a connection to the licensing server. {{< /hint >}}

Pricing

  • Anka Build (Apple Silicon) - Pricing model is host-based and not CPU core based. With the introduction of performance and efficiency cores in Apple Silicon, CPU core based licensing model adds complexity and is not accurate representation of value alignment.
  • Anka Build (Intel) - Cost is core based. For example, if you are setting up a cloud consisting of 2, 8-core Intel processor mac minis, then total core count will be 8 cores. For very large core count, there are other licensing models.
  • Anka Flow - Cost is per machine. For example, if you are installing Anka Flow on 10 developer machines, then quantity will be 10.
