AWS License Manager
A license management service provided by AWS that supports centralized registration, distribution, and querying of software entitlements; its managed entitlements capability can be used for license distribution across multi-account environments.

The official AWS blog gives two ways to batch-activate MPPO entitlements in AWS License Manager: a lightweight script for one-time remediation, and CDK event-driven automation for continuous operations.
AWS License Manager managed entitlements centrally registers licenses accepted from Marketplace and supports distribution and querying on an account basis.
The lightweight script approach iterates over target accounts and performs activation operations on accounts that have not yet accepted the MPPO to fill in entitlement status, suitable for one-time remediation scenarios where the number of accounts is fixed and authorization status is clear.
The lightweight script approach is snapshot-based: the state at the moment it finishes running is clean, and accounts created afterwards or newly adjusted authorizations will not automatically follow up.
The core idea of the CDK event-driven automation approach is to treat the appearance of new accounts or changes in authorization needs as events that trigger processing, rather than relying on manually running scripts periodically.
In a CDK event-driven architecture, the event source usually comes from AWS Organizations; when a new account is created within the organization, an account is moved into a certain OU, or an organization-level policy changes, Organizations emits an event, which is routed via Amazon EventBridge to processing logic (such as a Lambda function), which then calls License Manager APIs to complete MPPO activation.
The script approach is a pull model, requiring someone to execute it periodically and determine on their own which accounts are missing; event-driven is a push model, automatically aligning as soon as account status changes.
Both approaches are built on top of AWS License Manager managed entitlements, so they are not mutually exclusive alternatives, but rather two ways of using the same mechanism at different levels of operational maturity.
Bedrock access permission is essentially an authorization chain: Marketplace private pricing offer → License Manager entitlement → model invocation capability of a specific account; if any link breaks for a certain account, applications under that account will fail when making calls.
For scenarios with static accounts and few changes, the script approach is sufficient and has the lowest maintenance cost; for scenarios with continuously added accounts and frequent authorization adjustments, the CDK event-driven approach can avoid repeated rework and is more worry-free in the long run; during the transition period, you can first use scripts to clean up the existing accounts, then gradually bring new accounts into the automated pipeline.
