+
+Currently, AWS Marketplace is the only cloud marketplace where a license can be obtained. This article assists you in purchasing a Vesoft license on the AWS Marketplace.
+
+## Preparations
+
+You have registered an [AWS Marketplace](https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup#/start/email) account and logged in.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Open the AWS Marketplace [NebulaGraph Enterprise (by Node)](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-kvpxjh5b4dfno) service page.
+2. Click **View purchase options** to enter the license purchase contract signing page.
+3. Configure the contract items, including the license validity period, whether to enable auto-renewal, the number of query nodes, and the number of storage nodes.
+
+  - **How long do you want your contract to run**: Choose the validity period for the license, either 1 month or 1 year.
+  - **Renewal Settings**: Whether to automatically renew the license after its validity period. If you choose **Yes**, the license will be automatically renewed after its validity period. If you choose **No**, the license will not be automatically renewed after its validity period.

+
+## Resource pricing
+
+License purchases are now limited to node count. This means that you can select and buy query and storage nodes based on their specific business requirements. The license can be purchased for one month or one year.
+
+The price of each resource is as follows:
+
+
+| Per node| 1 Month | 1 Year |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| Query node | 2,000 USD | 24,000 USD |
