You'll need a few things before you can install and run Jaspersoft Business Intelligence on Amazon Web Services:
| • | An Amazon Web Services (AWS) account. |
If you already have an account, log into AWS.
To create an AWS account, go to the Amazon Web Services sign up page, click the Sign Up button, and follow the instructions.
| If you have a personal Amazon.com account stored in your browser, AWS uses that account by default. You need to sign out of Amazon or, preferably, use a different browser to set up an AWS account separate from your personal account. |
| • | If you plan to use Jaspersoft for AWS BYOL, you'll need an annual subscription license. To purchase licenses for BYOL contact TIBCO Jaspersoft Sales |
| The procedures in this section work for both TIBCO Jaspersoft Reporting and Analytics for AWS (Hourly and BYOL) for AWS and TIBCO Jaspersoft for AWS with MultiTenancy. |
