Did you purchase RIs Working with Microsoft or RHEL?

Did you know, that under the service terms of AWS, you can find a section [5.4.1] that say that if any of them changed the pricing of their offering you may:

• (b) convert your EC2 Reserved Instances with Windows or RHEL to comparable EC2 Reserved Instances with Linux,

• or (c) terminate your EC2 Reserved Instances with Windows or RHEL and receive a pro-rata refund of the up-front fee you paid for the terminated EC2 Reserved Instances with Windows or RHEL.

Stuck with Windows RIs and want to convert to Linux?

Want a full refund of your RIs?

Just wait for a pricing change!

It's worth familiarizing yourself with the service terms, you can "play the game" better :)
