Granted licenses in License Manager
Granted licenses are licenses for products that your organization purchased from AWS Marketplace, AWS Data Exchange, or directly from a seller who integrated their software with managed entitlements. License administrators can use AWS License Manager to govern the use of these licenses and to distribute rights of use, known as entitlements, to specific AWS accounts.
Data licenses distributed to AWS Data Exchange products are available to the AWS account through AWS Data Exchange. Before you can distribute licenses from AWS Marketplace, you must enable subscription sharing. For more information, see Sharing subscriptions in an organization.
After a license administrator distributes an entitlement from an AWS Marketplace license to an AWS account, and the recipient accepts and activates the granted license, the subscription is available to the AWS account through AWS Marketplace. The account also has access to the product. For example, if a license administrator purchases an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) from AWS Marketplace and distributes an entitlement to your AWS account, you can launch Amazon EC2 instances from the AMI using AWS Marketplace and Amazon EC2.
