AWS License Manager

2018/11/29 - AWS License Manager - 15 new api methods

Changes  AWS License Manager makes it easier to manage licenses in AWS and on premises when customers run applications using existing licenses from a variety of software vendors including Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, and IBM. AWS License Manager automatically tracks and controls license usage once administrators have created and enforced rules that emulate the terms of their licensing agreements. The capabilities of AWS License Manager are available through SDK and Tools, besides the management console and CLI.

UpdateLicenseConfiguration (new) Link ¶

Modifies the attributes of an existing license configuration object. A license configuration is an abstraction of a customer license agreement that can be consumed and enforced by License Manager. Components include specifications for the license type (Instances, cores, sockets, VCPUs), tenancy (shared or Dedicated Host), host affinity (how long a VM is associated with a host), the number of licenses purchased and used.
