     Info

    Dimensions summary

    You pay by the hour for Windows Server 2022 running on Amazon EC2. Each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, so your cost follows the instance you choose. There are no tiers or plans to select. Instead, you pick the instance size and family that fits your workload. Smaller instances like t3.micro carry lower hourly rates, while larger compute, memory, storage, and GPU instances carry higher rates. You are billed only for the hours you run. The listing adds vendor support on top of the deployed image, billed through the same hourly usage model.

    Top-of-mind questions for buyers

    Each unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you select, billed per hour. The rate covers Windows Server 2022 plus vendor support layered on that image. Instance size and family set the hourly rate. Larger compute, memory, storage, or GPU instances carry higher rates than smaller ones.
    The hourly software charge meters running time only. A stopped or paused instance does not accrue this software fee. You resume charges when you start the instance again. Note that underlying AWS storage for the stopped instance may still incur separate AWS fees.
    Your rate follows the instance you run at any given time. There are no tiers or commitments to migrate. Moving from a smaller instance to a larger compute, memory, or GPU instance changes the hourly rate to match that instance. You are billed only for the hours each instance runs.
