Launching a paid AMI is the same as launching any other AMI. No additional parameters are required. The instance will be charged according to the rates set by the owner of the AMI which should be more than the base Amazon EC2 rate.

The owner of a product will be able to see the instance and owner IDs of instances that were launched with their product codes. |
Developers that wish to offer support for instances can register support products. A user can then sign up for the support product and associate the issued product code with their own AMI.

Although we differentiate between products and support products in this document, the difference is only conceptual and they will be treated identically by Amazon EC2. |

A paid instance is any instance that has been launched with a product code. A product owner can confirm that an instance qualifies for support by calling ec2-confirm-product-instance. This command returns a list of all running instances associated with the product, regardless of who launched the instance. You must own the product codes passed to the ec2-confirm-product-instance command.
