Hi, @CarolBrusteredm Thanks for the detailed information and advantage of the Elastic IP, however, the query here was, How to distinguish the given IP is a public IP and an Elastic IP?. Is there any way we have?.
To answer this query I have published a KB https://community.flexera.com/t5/FlexNet-Publisher-Knowledge-Base/How-to-distinguish-between-amazon-ec2-Elastic-IP-quot-AMZN-EIP/ta-p/228859 please review it and let me know if you have any more suggestion.

Hi @christian_lemm It's difficult to differentiate the public IP or it's an elastic IP unless you have Tag an Elastic IP address (Read https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/elastic-ip-addresses-eip.html under Tag an Elastic IP address ).

thanks for the answer, but I don't understand in how tagging an elastic
ip will help me (the software vendor) in order to check, whether the
customer has sent me a valid elastic-ip host id.

Hi @christian_lemm, Yes, customers can confirm this because they can view these details on their console for example
--
-
Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/.
-
In the navigation pane, choose Elastic IPs.
--
So if we really want to know then need confirmation from the customer that it's a public IPv4 address or valid elastic-IP because elastic-ip is costly compared to public IP.
