How does concurrent licensing work?
You buy a pool of concurrent sandbox account licences. Each running sandbox uses one licence; when it's released and cleaned up, the licence returns to the pool for the next user, team or cohort.
Are licences tied to named users?
No. Licences are not tied to named users. One sandbox account can support an individual or a whole team, and the same licence can be reused by many people over a year.
How is capacity reused?
When a lease ends (by expiry, budget limit or manual termination), Sandbox Studio cleans the account automatically and returns it to the pool, ready for the next request.
Are AWS charges included?
No. AWS consumption inside sandbox accounts is billed to you by AWS as normal. Budgets and automatic actions help keep that spend predictable.
What happens when I need more capacity?
Add concurrent licences at any time through AWS Marketplace, or talk to us about Enterprise volume pricing or short-term capacity for programmes and events.
Who is eligible for Student Edition?
Student Edition is for eligible enrolled-student teaching use only. University staff, researchers, IT teams, commercial projects and other organisational use require Standard or Enterprise licences.
