Determine whether your WorkSpaces account is eligible for use with Microsoft BYOL - Amazon WorkSpaces

Determine whether your WorkSpaces account is eligible for use with Microsoft BYOL

Before you can enable your account for BYOL, you must go through a verification process to confirm your eligibility for BYOL. Until you go through this process, the Enable BYOL option will not be available in your Amazon WorkSpaces console.

Note

The verification process takes at least one business day. If you want to apply the CIDR range and BYOL configurations of an existing AWS account to a different one, you can link them together to use the same underlying hardware. To link your AWS accounts, you don't need to submit a support ticket. You can use APIs, such as CreateAccountLinkInvitations and AcceptAccountLinkInvitation to connect your AWS accounts. For more information, see Link BYOL accounts in WorkSpaces.

To check the eligibility of your account for BYOL by using the Amazon WorkSpaces console

  1. Open the WorkSpaces console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Account Settings, and then under Bring your own license (BYOL), choose View WorkSpaces BYOL settings. If your account is not currently eligible for BYOL, a message provides guidance for next steps. To get started, contact your AWS account manager or sales representative, or contact the AWS Support Center. Your contact will verify your eligibility for BYOL.

    To determine your eligibility for BYOL, your contact will need certain information from you. For example, you might be asked to answer the following questions.

    • Have you reviewed and accepted the BYOL requirements listed earlier?

    • In which AWS Regions do you need your account enabled for BYOL?

    • How many BYOL WorkSpaces do you plan to deploy per AWS Region?

    • What is your ramp-up plan?

    • Are you purchasing WorkSpaces from a reseller?

    • What bundle types do you need for BYOL?

    • Does your organization have any other AWS accounts enabled for BYOL in the same Region? If yes, do you want to link these accounts so that they use the same underlying hardware?

      If the accounts are linked, the total number of WorkSpaces deployed in these accounts is aggregated together for the purposes of determining your eligibility for BYOL. If the answer to both of these questions is yes, you can link your accounts together. You can use APIs, such as CreateAccountLinkInvitations and AcceptAccountLinkInvitation to connect your AWS accounts. If you want to link other BYOL-enabled accounts, but want to use a different BYOL setup (CIDR range and image), contact to AWS Support to enable your new account for BYOL.

  3. After your eligibility is confirmed for BYOL, you can proceed to the next step, where you enable BYOL for your account in the Amazon WorkSpaces console.
