The LANSA Scalable License provides an AMI and CloudFormation template to deploy a production-ready, highly available Windows stack with load balancer, web servers, and database.
The LANSA Scalable License delivers a fully production-ready Windows stack on AWS, built around an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) and an automated CloudFormation template. Designed for enterprise reliability, the stack includes all essential infrastructure components - a load balancer, multiple web servers, and a dedicated database server - deployed across multiple Availability Zones for high availability and fault tolerance.
Once deployed, the stack manages itself. It automatically installs, upgrades, patches, applies Windows Updates, and scales to meet demand - eliminating routine maintenance overhead and reducing operational risk. The architecture is engineered to keep your applications running continuously, even during infrastructure events.
Developers can deploy LANSA web, mobile, and desktop applications directly to this production environment from any Visual LANSA IDE. Step-by-step Usage Instructions and a Tutorial are provided to guide you through the complete setup process using the CloudFormation template, making it straightforward to go from zero to a fully operational, enterprise-grade stack on AWS.
Highlights
Subscription license designed for production workloads and scales automatically.
Easily and simply create a LANSA stack running your application using the supplied CloudFormation template (its not recommended to instantiate this AMI directly)
Use this AMI when you have produced a LANSA application with the LANSA IDE.
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.

If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for this LANSA Scalable License based on the AWS EC2 instance type you run. The 15 options map to different instance sizes across several families, including compute-focused (c5n, c6a), general-purpose (m5a, m5n), and burstable (t3, t3a). Smaller instances like t3.micro and t3a.small suit light workloads, while larger ones like c6a.8xlarge and m5a.12xlarge handle heavier processing. Your cost scales with the instance size you select and the hours you run it. There is no upfront commitment; billing follows actual usage.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one billing unit represent for each hourly rate?
One unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you choose, billed per hour. For example, c6a.large bills per hour that one c6a.large instance runs. If you run multiple instances, each accrues its own hourly charge. Larger instance types carry higher hourly rates than smaller ones.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or idle?
The software charge meters running hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the LANSA hourly fee. Underlying AWS storage or other resource fees may still apply while stopped. Billing resumes once the instance runs again.
Can I move between instance types if my workload grows or shrinks?
Yes. Because billing follows the instance type you run, you can switch to a different type without an upfront commitment. Your hourly rate adjusts to match the new instance. This supports scaling LANSA applications up or down on AWS as needs change.

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.
Version release notes
Added version 16.0.24 with updated AMI and templates on 2026-03-06
Additional details
Usage instructions
Do not use this AMI until you have produced a LANSA application with the LANSA IDE.
This AMI is expected to be used with the related solution's CloudFormation template. Full instructions for using the template and creating your stack are provided there.
A summary of the steps involved are:
Subscribe to the LANSA Scalable License
Upload your LANSA WAM Application MSI to AWS BLOB storage - S3 and obtain the URL of the MSI.
Use the AWS CloudFormation console to create a scalable LANSA stack using the template URL provided above.
You will be prompted to enter various parameters. The first 8 parameters are all you need to consider to instantiate a stack that will work. The rest are tuning or maintenance parameters which you only need to consider when creating a production stack. In particular you need to put the URL of the MSI in parameter 01 and provide answers for the other mandatory parameters - passwords, key name and the CIDR which will have remote access to your EC2 instances.
