Not free!
Quite a bad style to advertise a product without specifying its price. The instance is actually not free, though I could not find any price information in the description.

Not free enterprise only
Avoid unless you are an enterprise user. This is not free, monthly charge required in addition to normal AWS fees. This should be made clear in the AWS marketplace listing but isn't.
Its NOT free as stated on marketplace
I was looking for an AMI that enabled me to run some R scripts on a box with a bit more grunt than my laptop. On the marketplace it looks like this AMI is free of charge, also on yhat's website there are no prices mentioned at all.
So I launched an instance, pointed my browser to its IP (a gui was mentioned), then: "You need a product key", still no mention of pricing. Well ok, email and a password entered there, and after giving my user info they demand a credit card. Subscription $200/month.
Sorry, expecting free lunch is naive, but that is bad style. I will refrain from using yhat products in the future.
If your personal goal is to only run some R scripts here and there, the easiest way is to just create your own AMI. An hour of effort, saving 200$/month.
