Starting your free software trial is easy:

  1. Browse and choose from our catalog
  2. Decide what Amazon EC2 instance type to use
  3. Click to launch & subscribe

There will be no software charges for that trial, but AWS infrastructure charges still apply. You can cancel at any time. If you decide to keep the instance running, you'll receive a notification and automatically be converted to metered hourly subscription.

Are you are eligible for the AWS Free Usage Tier? Will the application you’d like to test run on a micro instance? You can try it out at no charge for software or for AWS resources as long as your resource consumption stays within.
