 # Buy an Azure savings plan
 
 Azure savings plans help you save money by committing to an hourly spend for one-year or three-year plans for Azure compute resources. Before you enter a commitment to buy a savings plan, review the following sections to prepare for your purchase.
 
+There is only one savings plan offered. It applies to all compute services listed at [Charges covered by savings plan](savings-plan-compute-overview.md#charges-covered-by-savings-plan).

 ## Who can buy a savings plan
 
 Savings plan discounts only apply to resources associated with subscriptions purchased through an Enterprise Agreement (EA), Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA), or Microsoft Partner Agreement (MPA). You can buy a savings plan for an Azure subscription that's of type EA (MS-AZR-0017P or MS-AZR-0148P), MCA or MPA. To determine if you're eligible to buy a plan, [check your billing type](../manage/view-all-accounts.md#check-the-type-of-your-account).

 If you have consistent compute spend, but your use of disparate resources makes Azure reservations infeasible, buying a savings plan gives you the ability to reduce your costs. For example, if you consistently spend at least $X every hour, but your usage comes from different resources and/or different datacenter regions, you likely can't effectively cover these costs with reservations. When you buy a savings plan, your hourly usage, up to your commitment amount, is discounted. For this usage, you no longer charged at the pay-as-you-go rates.
 
 ## How savings plan benefits are applied
-With Azure savings plan, hourly usage charges incurred from [savings plan-eligible products](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/offers/savings-plan-compute/#Select-services), which are within the benefit scope of the savings plan, are discounted and applied to your hourly commitment until the hourly commitment is reached. Usage charges above the commitment are billed at your on-demand rate.
 
-You don't need to assign a savings plan to your compute resources. The savings plan benefit is applied automatically to compute usage that matches the savings plan scope. A savings plan purchase covers only the compute part of your usage. Savings plans do not cover software costs (if applicable). For more information about software costs, see [Software costs not included with Azure savings plans](software-costs-not-included.md).

+You don't need to assign a savings plan to your compute resources. The savings plan benefit is applied automatically to compute usage that matches the savings plan scope. A savings plan purchase covers only the compute part of your usage. For example, for Windows VMs, the usage meter is split into two separate meters. There's a compute meter, which is same as the Linux meter, and a Windows IP meter. The charges that you see when you make the purchase are only for the compute costs. Charges don't include Windows software costs. For more information about software costs, see [Software costs not included with Azure savings plans](software-costs-not-included.md).
