Enable BYOL for your eligible WorkSpaces account using the Amazon WorkSpaces console - Amazon WorkSpaces

Enable BYOL for your eligible WorkSpaces account using the Amazon WorkSpaces console

After you determine that your WorkSpaces account is eligible to use Microsoft Bring Your Own License (BYOL) by following the instructions in Determine whether your WorkSpaces account is eligible for use with Microsoft BYOL, you must specify a management network interface to enable BYOL for your account. This interface is connected to a secure Amazon WorkSpaces management network. It is used for interactive streaming of the WorkSpace desktop to Amazon WorkSpaces clients, and to allow Amazon WorkSpaces to manage the WorkSpace.

Note

You only need to perform the steps in this procedure once per Region to enable BYOL for your account.

To enable BYOL for your account 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.

  3. On the Account Settings page, under Bring Your Own License (BYOL), choose Enable BYOL.

    If you don't see the Enable BYOL option, this means that your account is not currently eligible for BYOL. For more information, see Determine whether your WorkSpaces account is eligible for use with Microsoft BYOL.

  4. Under Bring Your Own License (BYOL), in the Management network interface IP address range area, choose an IP address range, and then choose Display available CIDR blocks.

    Amazon WorkSpaces searches for and displays available IP address ranges as IPv4 Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) blocks, within the range that you specify. If you require a specific IP address range, you can edit the search range.

    Important

    After you specify an IP address range, you cannot modify it. Make sure to specify an IP address range that doesn't conflict with the ranges used by your internal network. If you have any questions about which range to specify, contact your AWS account manager or sales representative, or contact the AWS Support Center before proceeding.

  5. Choose the CIDR block that you want from the list of results, and then choose Enable BYOL.

    This process may take several hours. While WorkSpaces is enabling your account for BYOL, proceed to the next step.
