Hi Team,
Is having AEM Assets mandatory for purchasing AEM guides?

AEM Guides. AEM Guides may only be added to an AEM Deployment where an AEM Assets Base Package has been licensed. A User license (i.e., for AEM Assets) or Guides User license is required in order to review or read any Guides Content. AEM Guides was formerly branded as “XML Documentation,” and any references to XML Documentation within the user interface should be interpreted as a reference to AEM Guides.
