Is it allowed to use AWS environment for Visual Studio cloud license?

We are using AWS service and considering to use Visual Studio for development in AWS environment.
Could you tell me that using Visual Studio cloud license in AWS violates the terms and conditions?

Yuta

Hello　DylanZhu,

I have read this article that shred but not really sure about this.
So let me confirm my understandings.
In my understanding, Amazon Web Services (EC2) is listed dedicated host.
Once we set the EC2 with VisualStudio, whoever can have an access to that ec2 can use Visual Studio and that does not violates the license and terms.

Is my understanding right?

Thanks,
Yuta

Hello DylanZhu,

It seemed that I do not have the right to use VLSC.
Could you tell me how I can confirm this issues in VLSC?

I just would like to know we can use Visual studio in AWS EC2.
From the article that you hvae sent, it seems to be able to use EC2.
Is it possible to get an answer for this?
