By default, the VRTSlms and VRTSsfmh rpms are installed in the system. You cannot specify a different location to install the rpms.
License Management Service can be installed on AWS and Azure cloud and the installation procedure is the same as follows.
For AWS and Azure cloud installation on RHEL, the following packages must be installed before proceeding with the installation.

After the installation is complete and before you proceed with the configuration process, you can verify that the packages are installed and the processes are started.See Verifying License Management Service installation on Linux.
