Self-managed licenses in License Manager - AWS License Manager

Self-managed licenses in License Manager

Self-managed licenses (formerly known as license configurations) are the core of License Manager. Self-managed licenses contain licensing rules based on the terms of your enterprise agreements. The rules that you create determine how AWS processes commands that consume licenses. While creating self-managed licenses, work closely with your organization's compliance team to review your enterprise agreements.

AWS services such as License Manager have service quotas that define the maximum number of resources or operations per Region that are available to your AWS account for that service. For example, with License Manager, you can have a maximum of 10 self-managed licenses per resource, with no more than 25 self-managed licenses total in any given AWS Region. To find out more about License Manager quotas, see AWS License Manager Service quotas in the AWS General Reference.

Note

Systems Manager managed instances must be associated with vCPU and instance type self-managed licenses.
