AWS License Manager announces support for shared AWS Managed Active Directory across multiple AWS accounts, simplifying Microsoft license management on AWS. Customers can now centralize user subscriptions of Microsoft Office, Visual Studio, and Remote Desktop Service instances running in their AWS Organization while maintaining clear visibility across AWS accounts.
With this launch, customers are no longer required to setup a Managed Active Directory instance for each AWS Account, reducing duplicate directories and IT overhead. Customers can now manage licenses through a single admin account where users subscribe once, and their subscriptions will extend to directory consumer accounts. The new feature is available in all commercial regions where License Manager user subscription is supported.
To get started, customers can onboard their shared AWS Managed Active Directory through AWS License Manager console. For more information and to begin using this feature, visit the AWS License Manager page or AWS License Manager User Guide.
