# Sharing AWS Data Exchange license subscriptions in an organization
<a name="organizations-sharing"></a>

When you subscribe to AWS Data Exchange products, an agreement is created that grants you license to use those products. If your AWS account is a member of an organization, you can share that license for AWS Data Exchange products with the other accounts in that organization.

**Note**  
For more information about AWS Organizations, see the [AWS Organizations User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/).

The following topics outline the process of sharing the licenses across accounts.

## Prerequisites for license sharing
<a name="license-sharing-prereqs"></a>

Before you can share licenses for data products, you must first set up license sharing for your organization. Complete the following tasks to set up license sharing for your organization:
+ Give AWS Marketplace permission to manage licenses on your behalf so that it can create the associated license grants when you purchase or share your licenses. For more information, see [Service-linked roles for AWS Marketplace](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/marketplace/latest/buyerguide/buyer-using-service-linked-roles.html) in the *AWS Marketplace Buyer Guide*.
+ Set up AWS License Manager for first use. For more information, see [ Getting started with AWS License Manager](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/license-manager/latest/userguide/getting-started.html) in the *AWS License Manager User Guide*.
