Amazon Web Services Marketplace and Amazon Organizations

Amazon Web Services Marketplace is a curated digital catalog that you can use to find, buy, deploy, and manage third-party software, data, and services that you need to build solutions and run your businesses.

Amazon Web Services Marketplace creates and manages licenses using Amazon License Manager for your purchases in Amazon Web Services Marketplace. When you share (grant access to) your licenses with other accounts in your organization, Amazon Web Services Marketplace creates and manages new licenses for those accounts.
