Optimize your AWS License Manager costs with these tips

Consolidate License Rules

Having fewer comprehensive rules to manage licenses across different AWS resources and services can help reduce costs related to rule administration and management.

Review License Assignments

Regularly review and remove unused entitlements from resources that are no longer in use. This ensures licenses are efficiently used for active resources only.

Utilize Built-in Integrations

Use integrations with other AWS services for centralized discovery and inventory of software licenses. This reduces costs for separate tools or processes to manage license compliance.
