A host resource group is a collection of Dedicated Hosts that can be managed together as a single entity using your specified preferences. The following sections of this blog explain how managing Dedicated Hosts has become easier with AWS License Manager’s simplified BYOL feature.Īmazon EC2 Dedicated Hosts allow you to use your existing per-socket, per-core, or per-VM software licenses that are bound to VMs, sockets, or physical cores, subject to your license terms. You can enjoy the flexibility and cost effectiveness of using your own licenses on Amazon EC2 Dedicated Hosts, but with the simplicity, resiliency, and elasticity of Amazon EC2.

With the release of ArcGIS Pro 2.5, you can install ArcGIS Pro and authorize it with Single Use licenses in a cloud environment, such as AWS or Azure. You can also serve licenses for ArcMap and other ArcGIS applications. With the release of ArcGIS License Manager 2019.2, you can host License Manager in a cloud environment, such as AWS or Azure, to serve Concurrent Use licenses for ArcGIS Pro. See Named User licensing in ArcGIS Online or Named User licensing in ArcGIS Enterprise for more information. With respect to Named User licensing, there is no difference between using ArcGIS Pro in a virtualized or nonvirtualized environment.

To start ArcGIS Pro with a Named User license in a virtualized environment, you must be a member of an ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise organization and must be assigned a GIS Professional user type or ArcGIS Pro add-on license. With the release of ArcGIS License Manager 2019.2, ArcGIS Pro 2.5, and ArcGIS Desktop 10.8.2, all licensing options, except Named User licensing in ArcGIS Enterprise, are supported in certain virtualized environments, including Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.
