# Licenses

### How License pricing works

Licenses for paid operating systems or third-party software are usually tied to a product. The best example is a Windows-based Compute instance. Charges accrue hourly.

### Pricing

° Prices are in CHF (Swiss franc) and don't include VAT. 1 CHF is usually [equal](https://www.google.com/search?q=1+CHF+in+USD\&cad=h) to 1 USD.\
