Amazon WorkSpaces Core introduces Microsoft Office 2019 Professional Plus bundle

You can now subscribe to Microsoft Office 2019 Professional Plus from AWS on Windows 10 and Windows 11 Bring Your Own License (BYOL) Amazon WorkSpaces Core instances. The new offering makes it easier for customers to use the Office suite of applications on WorkSpaces Core.

When importing a BYOL image, you can elect whether or not to include Microsoft Office 2019 Professional Plus in the image. If selected, Microsoft Office 2019 is automatically installed in the image during image creation. WorkSpaces Core instances created from this image are automatically subscribed to Microsoft Office 2019 Professional Plus from AWS.

To take advantage of Windows BYOL options, your organization must meet the licensing requirements set by Microsoft, you must commit to running a minimum number of WorkSpaces in a given AWS region each month, and AWS will run BYOL WorkSpaces on hardware that is dedicated to you in the AWS Cloud. To learn more about this option and the eligibility requirements, please see the Amazon WorkSpaces BYOL documentation and AWS Microsoft FAQs on BYOL.

Microsoft Office 2019 Professional Plus for WorkSpaces Core is available in all WorkSpaces Core Commercial Regions (except Africa) for $14.75 per instance per month.
