How does licencing work in Azure and local

Question

Very much a newbie question.

We have a client that would like us to embed our product in a Sitecore website. They have the licence including a number of NonProd instances.

Can I use a non-prod licence in an Azure paas instance for staging?
If I setup a local instance for development does that use up one of the NonProd licences?
As I am not a certified developer is it possible for my client to obtain the "Packages for XP Single" to setup a local environment using SIF?

Thanks Fran

In regards to number three: without a license file you will not be able to run Sitecore. You must get a license through a partner agreement. — Kieranties, Commented Mar 7, 2018 at 9:09
@Kieranties is it possible to use our clients licence for a local environment? Or does that use up one of their non-prod instances? — Fran Hoey, Commented Mar 7, 2018 at 9:31
You'll have to check with your client/legal team. As a Sitecore developer you should be working for a Sitecore partner who can provide you a developer license. — Kieranties, Commented Mar 7, 2018 at 9:46

Fran towards your questions:

You can use a NonProd Sitecore licence in Azure Paas instance.
Your local development environment and all development servers containg Sitecore (for tests purposes or others) that are internal - can use the NonProd license.
As answered by Kieranties - Sitecore cant't run without a licence file. You can use NonProd Client's one or if you have a partner licence.

I hope these will help you.
