Why am I seeing a "You are not authorized to use the requested product. Please complete the seller registration" error?

Products

• CloudHealth

Issue/Introduction

The ‘ec2:DescribeReservedInstancesListings’  API call is being made to discover those assets linked to a given account, this message will appear if you have not opted in to Marketplace.
 

The error message being returned:

 

"You are not authorized to use the requested product. Please complete the seller registration https://portal.aws.amazon.com/ec2/ri/seller_registration?action=businessInfo."

 

• This indicates that you have not registered for Marketplace RIs.
• The call CloudHealth makes tries to look at all sources for RIs, including the Marketplace.
• You could potentially update the IAM policy to deny CloudHealth access. e.g.

 

update the IAM policy to deny CloudHealth access

  {  "Effect": "Deny",

    "Action": [

      "ec2:DescribeReservedInstancesListings"

    ],

    "Resource": "*"

    }

 

If you are not opted in, that error will always pop up.

 

You can learn more about registration here:

• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/marketplace/latest/userguide/seller-registration-process.html.

You will either need to ignore the alerts or register for marketplace even though it's not being used by you.
