AWS License Manager

AWS License Manager handles the administrative side of software licensing across your cloud and on-premises environments. It centralizes license inventory, tracks usage against vendor terms, and enforces rules to prevent over-deployment. This service automates the compliance checks that usually require manual spreadsheets, ensuring you maintain visibility into where and how your licensed software is running without needing third-party tools.

Since it’s always free, this fits organizations managing complex vendor agreements who want to avoid extra tooling costs. The trade-off is its reliance on AWS-specific integration; it doesn’t replace comprehensive IT asset management systems for non-AWS-centric workflows. You get solid license control for AWS workloads, but if your estate is heavily hybrid or non-AWS, you’ll likely still need external solutions for full lifecycle management.
