Yeah, so the cost of the instance + software license is built in. The pay as you use cost includes the lic. cost for the product.
So, we could buy an instance and install our own version of SQL on it, or we could pay more for an instance type with SQL bundled on it already or we could use their SQL as a service RDS product.
You might need to look at specifics for your product but that's generally how it works.

I don't have licences no, but AWS do usage based licencing of the two main things I need. I imagine this will work out cheaper than just renting a year's licence if it's for sporadic after hours tinkering. No idea how this works in practice.
