Which service is used to create customized licensing rules that emulate the terms of licensing agreements, and then enforce these rules?

• A. AWS Compute Optimizer
• B. AWS License Manager
• C. Amazon Managed Grafana
• D. Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus

Answer: (B)

Defining and enforcing software licensing terms across your AWS environment is handled by AWS License Manager. It lets you create license configurations with custom rules that mirror the terms of your licensing agreements—such as the number of licenses, permitted instance types, regions, or usage limits—and then enforce those rules by comparing actual usage against your entitlements. This centralized approach helps you track licenses, stay compliant, and automatically prevent overuse. The other services don’t address licensing management or enforcement: one focuses on optimizing cost and performance, another provides a managed visualization platform, and the last is a managed service for collecting and querying metrics. So AWS License Manager is the appropriate choice for creating and enforcing customized licensing rules.
