PlateSpin Migrate provides the following parameters to configure whether or not AWS should manage the Microsoft software licensing compliance on the target workload:
AWSActivateWindows: This parameter lets you set whether you want AWS to activate Windows OS license on a Windows target workload or let you use your own licenses for which you are responsible for complying with Microsoft licensing. The default value of this parameter is True, which implies that AWS activates the Windows OS license on the target workload provided you specify the correct AMI ID of your private copy of billable AMI when you prepare the AWS target for migration. See Section 27.2, Configuring Migration of a Workload to Amazon Web Services.
AWSKMSServers: This parameter lets you set the AWS KMS Server information that Windows instances use for activation and is applicable only if the value of AWSActivateWindows parameter is set to true. The target KMS Server should be in the same AWS Region where the Windows instance is running.
KMSClientSetupKeys: This parameter lists the commonly used OS version-based Microsoft KMS client setup keys that are used for activating Windows through KMS server. This parameter is applicable only if the value of AWSActivateWindows is set to true. If the key for a particular OS is not listed, you can add an entry in the following format:
OperatingSystemTypeandBranding="Microsoft provided KMS Key"
Example: For a Windows server with OS type as Windows 2016 and branding as Standard Server, the format is Windows2016StandardServer="WC2BQ-8NRM3-FDDYY-2BFGV-KHKQY"
