Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this Windows Server 2016 image, billed only for the time each instance runs. Pricing is not tiered; instead, each rate maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type you choose at launch. Smaller instances like t3.nano or m1.small carry lower hourly rates, while larger compute, memory, storage, or GPU instances such as c7i.metal-48xl, x2iedn.metal, or p5.48xlarge cost more per hour. Your total scales with the instance size you select and how long you run it. AWS infrastructure charges apply separately from this software rate.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get a ready-to-run Windows Server 2016 image that launches on the AWS EC2 instance type you pick. The rate covers the software licence for that instance. Each instance type maps to set amounts of compute, memory, storage, or GPU resources defined by AWS.
The hourly software rate meters only running time. A fully stopped instance does not accrue this software charge. You may still owe separate AWS fees for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but the software licence bills active hours only.
The software rate is set per instance type, so switching applies the new type's hourly rate from launch. Larger compute, memory, storage, or GPU instances carry higher rates. Your total tracks the rate of the type you run and the hours it runs.
