Hello. Tell me, does ec2 windows instances already include the payment for a windows license, or does it need to be purchased separately?

Same question on stackoverflow

Short answer: EC2 prices contain Windows license fees,
here aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing also increases the price tag when choosing windows, and
there is an entry If Microsoft or Red Hat chooses to increase the license fees that it charges for Windows or Red Hat Enterprise Linux, we may correspondingly increase the per-hour usage rate for previously purchased Reserved Instances with Windows or Red Hat Enterprise Linux. which also confirms that the price is included
here aws.typepad.com/aws/2011/07/extending-microsoft-li... it says that you can use your own licenses
