Time for free use of the tool is set to either 12 months or the entire lifetime of the tool. Free status of a tool is also determined by data processed or on a trial basis. For example, the EFS and EC2 platforms are both free for use for 12 months, while the Glacier and Macie products are free for the lifetime of those products.
