AWS License Manager Description
To manage, discover, report, and monitor software license usage, you can set rules. AWS License Manager makes it easy to manage software licenses from vendors like Microsoft, SAP, Oracle and IBM in both AWS and on-premises environments. Administrators can create custom licensing rules using AWS License Manager that match the terms of their licensing agreements. Administrators can use these rules in order to prevent licensing violations such as the overuse of licenses than what an agreement allows. AWS License Manager rules can be used to prevent a licensing violation by stopping an instance from being launched or notifying administrators about the infringement. Administrators have full control over their licenses and can see them all with the AWS License Manager dashboard. This reduces the risk of misreporting, non-compliance and additional costs. AWS License Manager can also be used by independent software vendors (ISVs), to distribute and track licenses.
