Not as yet. Some things will not run on standard 68k hardware, like things that use our custom arm libraries.

You should not have to purchase a license :-

Amibench OS (v46) (https://wiki.amiga.org/index.php/AmiBench) is a newly developed OS by Amigakit, the system doesn't have an official deal with Clonato/Amiga Inc and so is powered by a heavily modified Aros OS and Aros Kickstart Replacement Rom. AROS Research Operating System (AROS – pronounced "AR-OS") is a free and open-source multi media centric implementation of the AmigaOS 3.1 APIs.

I need it for the Alwinner H618

Yes, but you can't download it there; you need access to amistore.net, which is accessible via a serial key.

I just want to make a clone of the A600 GS without the 9-pin connectors in the TV box, so I don't have to steal it.

Even if you have a CPU board that you think will run AmiBench, it won't work for you because the system is locked down to AmigaKit hardware. It won't get past the boot screen. If you want AmiBench, just buy an A600GS or A1200NG. That the only way it will work for you.
A1200NG, A1000/PiStormed, A2000EATX/PiStormed, Mac Mini G4/MOS, PiMiga

Indeed, the only issues you would have is with ARM libraries.
