When a grant for a seller issued license is configured with allow submission of usage records selected, License Manager emits a CloudWatch metric to the seller account, root buyer account, and the account against which the usage is being recorded. Buyer accounts are the AWS accounts who have purchased or been granted a seller issued license. For more information, see Granting licenses to customers.

When a seller or independent software vendor (ISV) application records usage against a license for a buyer account, the account in which usage is being recorded and the root buyer account see a CloudWatch widget with usage records on the Usage dashboard page in the License Manager console. Buyers can also see metrics for accounts that they have distributed licenses to in AWS Organizations. The graphs on the Usage dashboard page are available for every license for which usage records have been sent.
