Windows Server

Simply pay the normal AWS fee for Windows Server instances (on-demand, spot, reserved). These fees are typically more than same-sized instances of other operating systems (https://aws.amazon.com/windows/resources/licensing/#launch).
Due to changes in the license terms, no use of the campus Windows Server license is allowed at AWS.

SQL Server

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).
- You may launch an EC2 instance with a SQL Server license from AWS (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sql-server-ec2/latest/userguide/sql-server-on-ec2-licensing-options.html#sql-server-on-ec2-licensing-options-included)
With the updates to the license terms, using the campus license on an EC2 instance that you maintain is no longer allowed.

Our campus Microsoft Office license cannot be used in any shared server environment at AWS. For example, 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.
