Amazon EC2 offers Dedicated Hosts, which allow you to access hardware that's fully dedicated for your use. You can use your own licensed software on dedicated infrastructure, even without Software Assurance. For more information on bringing licenses without Software Assurance or License Mobility benefits, please visit this section of the FAQ.
Amazon EC2 Dedicated Host is also integrated with AWS License Manager, a service which helps you manage your software licenses, including Windows Server and SQL Server licenses. In License Manager, you can specify your licensing terms for governing license usage, and easily track licenses for compliance and auditing. You can also specify Dedicated Host management preferences for host allocation and host capacity utilization. Once setup, AWS takes care of these administrative tasks on your behalf, so that you can seamlessly launch virtual machines (instances) on Dedicated Hosts just like you would launch an EC2 instance with AWS-provided licenses.
Use AWS License Manager to start managing your licenses.

The Microsoft Teams admin center is gradually replacing the Skype for Business admin center, and we're migrating Teams settings to it from the Microsoft 365 admin center. If a setting has been migrated, you'll see a notification and then be directed to the setting's location in the Teams admin center. For more information, see Manage Teams during the transition to the Teams admin center.

Teams is also available for non-profit organizations. Teams will begin rolling out for the US Government Cloud Community (GCC) on July 17 and be available for all eligible customers by the end of August 2018. We are working to bring Microsoft Teams to the other US government clouds (GCC High and DoD) coming soon. Read more in the Microsoft Teams blog here.
Note
Starting August 2019, all new Office 365 customers will be onboarded to Teams and will not have access to Skype for Business Online. Tenants that are already using Skype for Business Online will be able to continue doing so (including provisioning new users) until they complete their transition to Teams. To learn more, see Microsoft Teams now the primary client for meetings and calling in Office 365.
Note
If Skype for Business Online is listed in apps for the selected license, do not remove it. If it's listed and is removed, Teams user setup will not complete successfully.
In terms of Teams core functionalities, there are no differences between the Office 365 subscriptions. The availability of the compliance capabilities does rely on the correct subscription level. To learn more, read Overview of security and compliance in Teams. For a detailed list of features available in each subscription, see the Office 365 Platform Service Description.
Cloud voice features: For Audio Conferencing, your organization will need to buy and assign an Audio Conferencing license to each user who will be setting up dial-in meetings. For Calling Plans, each user will need a Phone System plus a Domestic or Domestic and International Calling Plan. To learn more, see Microsoft Teams add-on licensing.
All supported subscription plans are eligible for access to the Teams web client, desktop clients, and mobile apps.
Teams isn't available as a standalone service.
