AWS Announces the ability to import Microsoft BizSpark licenses for Microsoft Windows Server and SQL Server Amazon EC2 instances

Posted on: Oct 25, 2011

AWS is pleased to announce that starting today, you can import your Microsoft BizSpark licenses for Windows Server and SQL Server products to AWS and use them to launch Amazon EC2 instances. You can then run these products on Amazon EC2 instances at an hourly cost that has been adjusted to reflect the removal of the license charges. In other words, Windows instances will be billed at the Linux/Unix rate under this plan.
