BYOL stands for Bring Your Own License. What does it enable?

• A. Using existing license agreements to reduce cloud licensing costs
• B. Purchasing licenses separately from the cloud provider
• C. Bringing your own software to cloud acceleration
• D. Launching your own licensing portal

Answer: (A)

BYOL enables using licenses you already own in the cloud to cut licensing costs. By applying license mobility or similar terms, you can run software on cloud infrastructure without purchasing brand-new licenses from the provider, as long as your existing licenses are eligible and you stay compliant with the licensing terms. This is why it’s the best answer: it directly reflects the idea of bringing your own licenses to the cloud to reduce total spend, rather than buying new licenses, bringing software for acceleration, or setting up a license portal.
