AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
This software is free to use, so the listing charges no license fee for any option. Each dimension maps to a specific Arm-based EC2 instance type, billed per hour. You pick the instance that fits your workload, from small sizes like t4g.nano up to large multi-core and bare-metal types such as m8g.metal-48xl. Pricing scales with the compute, memory, and storage of the instance you select. You still pay standard AWS infrastructure charges for the chosen instance. Choose smaller instances for light workloads and larger ones for memory-, compute-, or storage-heavy tasks.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do the hourly instance dimensions bill for if the software itself is free?
Each dimension names an Arm-based EC2 instance type. The software carries no license fee. The hourly rate covers the underlying AWS compute, memory, and storage for that instance. You pay only the standard AWS infrastructure charge for the instance type you run.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped or powered off?
Charges apply to running instance-hours. A stopped instance stops accruing hourly compute charges. Attached storage may still incur standard AWS storage fees while the instance is stopped. The software license adds no fee, since this listing is free to use.
How do I move from a small instance to a larger one as my workload grows?
You pick the instance type that fits your workload and launch it. To change size, you stop the instance and relaunch on another type, or launch a new one. Billing follows the new instance's hourly rate. There is no license upgrade step, since all options are free.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
