# Core infrastructure suite \(CIS\) support for BYOL

Use your on-premise CIS entitlements to license Windows Server installations on cloud platforms such as AWS and Microsoft Azure.

The CIS entitlements would license the Windows Server installations in accordance with the Microsoft licensing rules on cloud: If you licensed Windows Server through CIS, you can use the Azure Hybrid Use Benefit. The System Center component in CIS, however, is not covered.
