Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the AWS EC2 instance type you run this software on. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size, so pricing scales with the compute, memory, or specialized hardware you choose. Smaller instances like nano, micro, and large sizes cost less per hour, while larger multi-core, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and accelerated instances cost more. You are not locked into a fixed plan. You select the instance that fits your database monitoring workload and pay only for the hours you use.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You are billed for each hour the software runs on a chosen AWS EC2 instance. The rate matches the instance type you launch. Each instance size maps to a separate dimension. You pay the hourly software rate plus the underlying AWS infrastructure charge for that instance.
The hourly software charge meters running time only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue software fees. You may still pay AWS for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but the software license bills for active hours.
You launch a pre-built machine image with a 1-Click install on AWS. The image bundles the operating system and software, including updates, firewalls, and network protocols. Your hourly rate covers that packaged image running on the instance size you select.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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.

Usage instructions
Below is a step-by-step process on using SQL Server with Windows on AWS.
1. Getting Started with Windows on AWS
You can learn more about Windows usage on AWS through this AWS Windows page . This page contains resources on deploying Windows-based EC2 instances, licensing options, and using Microsoft services on AWS.
2. Logging in as Administrator
To log in to your AWS Windows instance as an Administrator, follow these steps:
- Go to the AWS Support Knowledge Center to retrieve the Administrator password.
- Use the private key (.pem) file you generated when you created your EC2 instance to decrypt the Administrator password.
- After obtaining the password, you can use it to log in to your Windows instance through Remote Desktop (RDP).
3. SQL Server and sa Account
By default, the sa (System Administrator) account in SQL Server is disabled for security reasons. You can log in using the local Windows Administrator account to manage SQL Server:
- Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) from the Start Menu:
- Navigate to Microsoft SQL Server Tools 18 Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
- In SSMS, log in with the Windows Authentication method using the local Windows Administrator credentials.
- To enable the sa account:
- In SQL Server Management Studio, go to Object Explorer --> expand your SQL Server instance --> Security --> Logins.
- Right-click on the sa account --> Properties.
- On the General tab, uncheck the Disabled box, and set a strong password.
- Alternatively, you can create a new SQL Server login:
- Right-click on Logins --> New Login.
- Specify a username, password, and authentication method.
4. Launch SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
- To open SSMS, go to the Start Menu and search for Microsoft SQL Server Tools 18 --> Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
- Once opened, you can connect to your SQL Server instance using either Windows Authentication or SQL Server Authentication
