Czechoslovakia choose the type also as part of their 30s modernization program, and finally manufactured it under license from 1937 as Aero MB-200. The type was still in the production line when Germany invaded Czechoslovakia and several aircrafts were then flown under Slovakian flag, as well as 12 passed into Bulgarian service, where they were used as trainers.

The main differences between the licensed Aero MB.200 and the original Bloch, were relative to the defensive armament mounted and internal equipment. Around 170 units were built under license.
