### Description
We are trying to implement autoscaling for EC2 Mac instances by following this [blog](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/implementing-autoscaling-for-ec2-mac-instances/). However, as I investigated, there is no way to create a license manager configuration with Cloudformation template. Hence, I can only use [terraform](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/licensemanager_license_configuration) or [aws-cli](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/license-manager/create-license-configuration.html) to create one instead.
So would you add this type in the cloudformation so that we can use cloudformation directly?
Currently, I am using below snippet to create one.
```
aws --no-cli-pager --region 'ap-southeast-1' license-manager create-license-configuration \
--name "$LICENSE_MANAGER_CONFIGURATION" \
--description "LicenseManager Configuration for Host Resource Group" \
--license-count 100 \
--no-license-count-hard-limit \
--license-counting-type "Core" \
--output json | jq -r '.LicenseConfigurationArn')
```

Research direction
Start by reviewing the CloudFormation coverage roadmap entry and the AWS License Manager create-license-configuration CLI documentation linked in the issue. Compare the requested AWS::LicenseManager::LicenseManagerConfiguration resource with the existing CloudFormation resource coverage and determine the required configuration fields. Done means the resource is supported through a CloudFormation template and its coverage is documented.
