Microsoft concession: You can run our wares in AWS virtual desktop under 'revised policy'
Fast-forward, and new licensing terms were outlined by Microsoft yesterday which only help AWS clouds customers.that:"Beginning August 1, 2023, users with specific licenses may run Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise/business, Microsoft Project, and Microsoft Visio on Amazon WorkSpaces. The licenses that will be eligible under this revised policy include Microsoft 365 E3/E5/A3/A5 and Microsoft 365 Business Premium.
It added:"Included apps vary by Microsoft 365 license plan. Microsoft allows E3, E5, A3, A5, and Business Premium licenses to run on WorkSpaces services. Customers can also bring licenses for Microsoft Project and Microsoft Visio to WorkSpaces services under the new licensing terms."gives users a"very premium way to run 'Office' on WorkSpaces, partially addressing some issues with Microsoft on AWS," but said it remains a costly alternative to Azure.
"You'll need a Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 subscription for every user accessing Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise on Workspaces." "Not Microsoft 365 licensed separately. Not Office 365 E3. You need Microsoft 365 E3, even if you don’t need EMS . And you still need VDA for your WorkSpaces users." Got that? Effectively it means Microsoft is"still offering far better terms with Azure Virtual Desktop or Windows 365 than they do for AWS, Google or Alibaba," Miller concluded.
