Get an RStudio license

RStudio on Amazon SageMaker is a paid product and requires that each user is appropriately licensed. Licenses for RStudio on Amazon SageMaker may be obtained from RStudio PBC directly, or by purchasing a subscription to Posit Workbench on AWS Marketplace. For existing customers of Posit Workbench Enterprise, licenses are issued at no additional cost. To use an RStudio license with Amazon SageMaker, you must first have a valid RStudio license registered with AWS License Manager. For licenses purchased directly through Rstudio PBC, a licenses grant for your AWS Account must be created. Contact RStudio for direct license purchases or to enable existing licenses in AWS License Manager. For more information about registering a license with AWS License Manager, see Seller issued licenses in AWS License Manager.

The following topics show how to acquire and validate a license granted by RStudio PBC.

Get an RStudio license

  1. If you don't have an RStudio license, you may purchase one from the AWS Marketplace or from RStudio PBC directly.

    • To purchase a subscription from the AWS Marketplace, complete the steps to subscribe with a SaaS contract by searching for Posit Platform (RStudio on SageMaker). To fulfill the license, you will be redirected to an external form outside the AWS Marketplace. You must provide additional information, including your company name and email address. If you can’t access that form to provide a company name and a contact email, create a ticket with Posit Support at https://support.posit.co/hc/en-us/requests/new with details about your purchase.

    • To purchase from RStudio PBC directly, navigate to RStudio Pricing or contact sales@rstudio.com. When buying or updating an RStudio license, you must provide the AWS Account that will host your Amazon SageMaker domain.

    If you have an existing RStudio license, contact your RStudio Sales representative or sales@rstudio.com to add RStudio on Amazon SageMaker to your existing Posit Workbench Enterprise license, or to convert your Posit Workbench Standard license. The RStudio Sales representative will send you the appropriate electronic order form.

  2. RStudio grants a Posit Workbench license to your AWS Account through AWS License Manager in the US East (N. Virginia) Region. Although the RStudio license is granted in the US East (N. Virginia) Region, your license can be consumed in any AWS Region that RStudio on Amazon SageMaker is supported in. You can expect the license grant process to complete within three business days after you share your AWS account ID with RStudio.

  3. When this license is granted, you receive an email from your RStudio Sales representative with instructions to accept your license grant.
