This article details how to configure Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) using user-based subscription licenses with AWS License Manager, offering a new flexible licensing approach for Windows Server environments on Amazon EC2.
- AWS now provides Subscriber Access Licenses (SAL) for Microsoft RDS
- Allows more than two concurrent user sessions on Windows Server
- Supports both AWS Managed and self-managed Active Directory
- Offers pay-as-you-go per-user, per-month licensing model
- Provides an alternative to maintaining Software Assurance on RDS Client Access Licenses
The process involves subscribing to RDS SAL in AWS Marketplace, registering an Active Directory, configuring RDS Licensing Servers, and subscribing individual users. Billing is based on license tokens with a 90-day expiration.
