No, you can’t automatically transfer AMIs from one account to another. You would have to upload them again using the second AWS developer account and then register them with DevPay using that account. Alternately, you could leave the AMIs with the original account (the AMI owner account) and register them with DevPay using another AWS developer account (the product owner account). You could then use the AMI owner account to associate the product code with the AMIs. However, keep in mind that only the product owner (and not the AMI owner in this case) can use the ec2-confirm-product-instance command, which confirms that an instance is running an AMI associated with the product owner’s product code. For more information about this command, go to the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud Developer Guide .
