Companies need to provide solutions helping people to quickly set up new resources, starting and stopping them, scaling them according to the need and finally, removing them. In such environments, it could be tricky to follow license compliance when resources are changing on hourly basis.<\/p>\n<p>Having a look on AWS services, I saw that AWS provides a license managing tool named \u201c<em>AWS License Manager<\/em>\u201d. I took few minutes in order to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Understand which resources this service is able to monitor<\/li>\n<li>How it works<\/li>\n<li>Test it with an on-premise Linux server executing an oracle database<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>License Manager Service<\/h3>\n<p>The first step in order to use License Manager is to select it in the list of AWS Services.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34413\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34413\" style=\"width: 606px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34413\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/AWS-Services-List.jpg\" alt=\"AWS Services List\" width=\"606\" height=\"382\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34413\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">AWS Services List<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After having clicked on AWS License Manager, the AWS License Manager window will appear.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-34553 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/AWS-License-Manager-License-Configuration.png\" alt=\"&quot;&lt;yoastmark\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, we simply have to create a license configuration with required license terms according to the software vendor.

This service allows you to view and control your infrastructure on AWS. AWS System Manager not only allows you to view and control your Amazon EC2 Instance but also on-premises servers, virtual machines (including VMs in other cloud environments). Some System Manager capabilities are not free, however in the context of this example everything is free.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>AWS System Manager Agent (SSM Agent)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In order to benefit from AWS System Manager we need to install <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.aws.amazon.com\/systems-manager\/latest\/userguide\/prereqs-ssm-agent.html\">AWS Systems Manager Agent<\/a> (SSM Agent) on our on-premised host. Indeed, SSM Agent is an Amazon software that can be installed and configured on an Amazon EC2 instance, an on-premises server, or a virtual machine (VM) and provides a solution to update, manage, and configure resources. SSM Agent is installed, by default on instances created from Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019, Amazon Linux, Ubuntu Server Images AMIs. However, if you are running an on-premise server you need to install it. The process is really straightforward as presented below.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: actionscript3; gutter: true; first-line: 1\">[root@vmrefdba01 ~]# mkdir \/tmp\/ssm\n[root@vmrefdba01 ~]# curl https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/ec2-downloads-windows\/SSMAgent\/latest\/linux_amd64\/amazon-ssm-agent.rpm -o \/tmp\/ssm\/amazon-ssm-agent.rpm\n  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current\n                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed\n100 18.9M  100 18.9M    0     0  3325k      0  0:00:05  0:00:05 --:--:-- 4368k\n[root@vmrefdba01 ~]# sudo yum install -y \/tmp\/ssm\/amazon-ssm-agent.rpm\nLoaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, ulninfo\nSetting up Install Process\nExamining \/tmp\/ssm\/amazon-ssm-agent.rpm: amazon-ssm-agent-2.3.707.0-1.x86_64\nMarking \/tmp\/ssm\/amazon-ssm-agent.rpm to be installed\npublic_ol6_UEK_latest                                    | 2.5 kB     00:00\npublic_ol6_UEK_latest\/primary_db                         |  64 MB     00:07\npublic_ol6_latest                                        | 2.7 kB     00:00\npublic_ol6_latest\/primary_db                             |  18 MB     00:07\nResolving Dependencies\n--&gt; Running transaction check\n---&gt; Package amazon-ssm-agent.x86_64 0:2.3.707.0-1 will be installed\n--&gt; Finished Dependency Resolution\n\nDependencies Resolved\n\n======================================================================================================================================\n Package                            Arch                     Version                        Repository                           Size\n======================================================================================================================================\nInstalling:\n amazon-ssm-agent                   x86_64                   2.3.707.0-1                    \/amazon-ssm-agent                    61 M\n\nTransaction Summary\n======================================================================================================================================\nInstall       1 Package(s)\n\nTotal size: 61 M\nInstalled size: 61 M\nDownloading Packages:\nRunning rpm_check_debug\nRunning Transaction Test\nTransaction Test Succeeded\nRunning Transaction\n  Installing : amazon-ssm-agent-2.3.707.0-1.x86_64                                                                                1\/1\namazon-ssm-agent start\/running, process 3896\n  Verifying  : amazon-ssm-agent-2.3.707.0-1.x86_64                                                                                1\/1\n\nInstalled:\n  amazon-ssm-agent.x86_64 0:2.3.707.0-1\n\nComplete!<\/pre>\n<h4>Creating an activation<\/h4>\n<p>Once the agent installed, we have to create a new &#8220;<em>Activation<\/em>&#8221; in the AWS System Manager Service by clicking on &#8220;<em>Create activation<\/em>&#8220;.
