Microsoft Licensing on AWSRunning Microsoft workloads on AWS
Agenda
• Windows workloads on AWS• Utilizing licenses on AWS• License Mobility• Bringing licenses to AWS• Licensing for common Microsoft solutions
• Windows Server introduced 2008 on AWS• Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2012, 2016• SQL Server 2005, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2016
• Full AD integration for hybrid and cross-cloud deployments
• Lots of case studies on website
Windows workloads on AWS
Regions & Availability Zones
AZ
AZ
AZ AZ AZ
Transit
Transit
A Region• 2 or more Availability Zones (AZ) and
Transit Centers
• Redundant paths to Transit Centers
• Transit Centers connect to:– Private links to other AWS Regions– Private links to customers– Internet through peering & paid transit
Availability Zone• 1 or more datacenters
Why does customers migrate to AWS?
• Performance – I/O performance, Scalability, High Availability
• Flexibility – Breadth & Depth, Innovation, Quality & Maturity
• Cost – Technical Debt, Cost options, Licensing options
Before we begin
• Gold Certified Microsoft Partner Network member
• Licensed to sell Microsoft software under the Services Provider License Agreement (SPLA)
• Authorized License Mobility participant
Microsoft and AWS Relationship
• Public cloud infrastructure is multitenant
• Individual servers host multiple customers
• Customers utilize Windows instances licensed by the Public Cloud Provider
Microsoft Licensing in Public Cloud
• For on-premises environments • Identifiable server hardware• Need access to an identifiable
number of sockets and physical cores
• License can be assigned to a physical server
• Allow SQL to be brought to Public Cloud under License Mobility
Microsoft Server Software Licenses
AWS Licensing Options

Buy License-included instances from AWS
Bring Licenses to AWS
Dedicated options for licenses not eligible for License
Mobility
Default tenancy for License Mobility eligible products with
Software Assurance
Buy License-Included Instances From AWS
Advantages:
§ Provides “pay-as-you-go” option with no upfront costs or long-term investments
§ Manages licensing compliance § Supports current and many legacy
versions of Microsoft software § Eliminates the requirement of Windows
Server Client Access Licenses (CALs)
Customer Choices:• Amazon Machine Images (AMIs)
with Microsoft Windows Server• Pre-installed Windows Server• Pre-installed Microsoft SQL Server
License Included
§ Windows Server (2003, 2008/R2, 2012/R2, 2016)§ Includes two administrative Remote Desktop Services
connections
§ SQL Server (2005, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2016)§ Standard, Enterprise, Web Editions § Per-core, no CAL needed§ Amazon EC2 or Amazon RDS
§ Pricing models§ On-Demand (per hour)§ Reserved Instances (1 year, 3 years, with or without upfront)§ Spot Instances
License Mobility through software assurance allows existing on premise licenses to be moved to shared tenant instances in the cloud. As such you:§ Leverage the Software Assurance section of
Volume License Agreement§ Must maintain active Software Assurance§ Complete license verification
process within 10 days of deployment.

§ Several Microsoft Products are Eligible§ SQL Server§ Productivity Applications: SharePoint, Exchange, Lync/Skype for Business, Dynamics§ Windows Remote Desktop Services
§ Allowing use on shared tenant Amazon EC2§ Per-Core licensing § Per-User licensing
§ Notes§ Per-Core Licensing applies per vCPU (hyperthread) and not by physical core§ SQL Server has a minimum of 4 Cores licensed per instance§ OS Licenses not eligible(Windows Server / Desktop)§ Desktop Applications not eligible (Office, Visual Studio)§ SQL Server passive failover benefits within the public cloud are enabled
Bringing Licenses to AWS
BYOL is the process of bringing volume licenses to dedicated hosts or dedicated instances.
Advantages:
• Take advantage of the efficiencies of the AWS Cloud while utilizing existing investments in on-premise software
• Extend the lifecycle of prior software versions• Import your existing Windows images to the
AWS Cloud
BYOL: Dedicated Hosts
Bring on-premise licenses that do not have SA or that do not qualify for License Mobility
Take advantage of AWS Linux compute pricing
Manage expenses by utilizing existing on-premise software
Maintain control and visibility into physical core and processor count
Customer defines which host it will be running on for its placement and declares an affinitybetween the instance and the host
Comparing Dedicated Hosts to Standard EC2 Instances
§ Single-tenant servers host instances for only your workloads (1 AWS Account)
§ You can determine which host instances run on
§ You pay per host§ You can continually reuse the same physical
server through targeted placement, or let EC2 place your instances automatically
§ Visibility into physical cores and sockets

Dedicated Host: Licensing Models
Dedicated hosts allow for:
§ Windows Server BYOL
§ MSDN
§ Maximum virtualization using Windows Datacenter and SQL Enterprise
• User and server based licensing deployment
Dedicated Hosts: Licensing Models
Microsoft Product Terms allow for dedicated outsourcing
Outsourcing Software ManagementCustomer may install and use licensed copies of the software on Servers and other devices that are under the day-to-day management and control of third parties, provided all such Servers and other devices are and remain fully dedicated to Customer’s use. Customer is responsible for all of the obligations under its volume licensing agreement regardless of the physical location of the hardware upon which the software is used.
Customer must bring Windows Server. License Included is NOT available
Customer must host (or connect to) a Windows Key Management Server

“Deltek experiences significant annual savings on Microsoft licensing costs with EC2 Dedicated Hosts
Deltek is an enterprise software and information solutions provider for professional services firms
and government contractors.
When we moved our SQL Server licenses to Amazon EC2 Dedicated
Instances, we were able to save 15% on SQL licensing costs. Additionally, when
we move our Windows licenses to Amazon EC2 Dedicated Hosts, we will
save 10% on Windows licensing.
• Needed to gain agility, enable innovation, integrate acquired companies, and save on licensing costs
• Running customer-facing production applications on AWS for over 20,000 organizations in 80+ countries
• Regulatory compliance a key driver (e.g., FedRamp, ITAR, SOC)
• Many products integrate with Microsoft SharePoint, Exchange, and SQL Server
• Keeps pace with global business growth

BYOL: Dedicated Instances
Bring on-premise licenses that do not have SA or that do not qualify for License Mobility
Utilize Windows Server instances that are physically isolated at the host hardware level
Manage expenses by utilizing existing on-premise software
Comparing Dedicated Instances to Standard EC2 Instances
§ Multi-tenant servers host instances for multiple customers’ workloads
§ AWS determines which host instances run on
§ You pay per instance
§ Single-tenant servers host instances for only your workloads (1 AWS Account)
§ AWS determines which host instances run on
§ You pay per instance§ You have a regional fee

Dedicated Instances: Licensing Models
Dedicated Instances allow for:
§ MSDN deployment
§ User based BYOL options including Windows Desktop OS and Microsoft Office
§ BYOL SQL Server Virtual OSEs
§ BYOL Windows Server Licenses NOT eligible
Licensing for Common Microsoft Solutions
Exchange Server is eligible for License Mobility under the Software Assurance program.
A license must be assigned for each instance of the server software that is being run.
There are two main licensing models that apply to SQL Server:
• Server+Client Access License (CAL)
• Per Core licensing
SharePoint Server is eligible for License Mobility under the Software Assurance program.
Mixed Licensing Model is a Win-Win situation
§ Use BYOL for core (slowly varying) infrastructure§ Large potential savings by reusing licenses
and
§ Use License Included for varying infrastructure§ Take advantage of AWS Auto Scaling§ Less management overhead, pay-as-you-go
