- As of April 2018, Microsoft will no longer allow any form of Bring-Your-Own-License (BYOL) to AWS Relational Database Service (RDS). This means that Cornell cannot use our campus Microsoft licensing agreement for Microsoft SQL Server on RDS. For details see 2018-04-27 AWS & SQL Server RDS Licensing.
- If you require a managed MS SQL Server instance you have two options
- You may purchase an AWS RDS instance with their license included for an additional fee (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/CHAP_SQLServer.html).
- A separate "RD-esque" service is being offered in partnership between the Cloud Team, Managed Server Team, and DBA Team. For information contact the Cloud Team (cloud-support@cornell.edu).
- You may also use the campus license on an EC2 instance that you maintain.
Microsoft Office
- Our campus Microsoft Office license cannot be used in any shared server environment. In short, this means that only instances launched on a Dedicated Host are able to use the license. AWS EC2, AppStream, or WorkSpaces are not viable targets for the license.
- The online version of O365 (https://www.office.com) may be a suitable replacement for the full, local installation and is fully license compliant from EC2, AppStream, and WorkSpaces.
