Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this software, based on the EC2 instance type you run it on. Each dimension maps to one instance size, and the software runs on Windows Server 2019 with SQL Server 2017 Enterprise and a Database Auditor tool. Pricing scales with the compute power you pick. Small instances like t3.nano cost less per hour than large ones like the metal or multi-terabyte types. You choose the instance that fits your workload, and billing tracks the running hours for that size. There is no upfront commitment; you pay only for what you use.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly rate covers a running instance of Windows Server 2019 with SQL Server 2017 Enterprise and the Database Auditor tool preinstalled. One dimension equals one EC2 instance size. You pay the software rate plus separate AWS infrastructure charges for that instance while it runs.
The software rate meters running hours only. A stopped or powered-off instance does not accrue software charges. You may still pay AWS for attached storage and other resources that persist while the instance is stopped, but the software licence tracks active running time.
You pay the hourly rate tied to whichever instance size runs the software. Larger sizes such as metal or multi-terabyte types carry higher hourly rates than small sizes like t3.nano. Switching instances changes the rate going forward; there is no upfront commitment and billing tracks the running hours.
