I signed up an account a month ago, and haven't used it for anything except S3. I wonder if/how I can activate the free EC2 micro for the next stage of my project, or if I have to cancel/resub.
- cperciva 16y agoThis only applies to accounts created on or after October 20th.
- psadauskas 16y agoAnd I signed up September 30th. I guess I'll just open a new account, and pay the $0.03 again to reupload my stuff to S3.
- ra 16y agoI created an AWS account about 3 years ago, but only used it for the first time this week (to create a micro EC2 instance). Guess I'll be opening a new account too.
- nkassis 16y agoHence why they should just make it available for everyone. What's the point of having a ton of new accounts to replace old accounts.
- shripadk 16y agoWell. I opened my account on Nov 1st. Guess what? I am being charged for it!! So is this service really "free"?? I haven't yet crossed the tier usage limits and I am being charged already!! Support has not replied yet...
- breno 16y agoAccording to an email I received from an Amazon representative the Free Trial applies to accounts created from 10/21 or later. "I’ve researched your account and have confirmed your account is eligible for the AWS Free Usage Tier. Though the promotion does not actually start until November 1st accounts created from 10.21.2010 or later are eligible."
- shripadk 16y agoHey breno! Whom did you contact for this information? Are you being charged for the "free" tier?
