For SaaS contracts and contracts with consumption pricing, with and without a flexible payment schedule, the seller sets the agreement start date as part of generating a private offer. As a buyer, you must work with sellers to make sure that the start date meets your requirements.
To create a future dated agreement, use the following procedure. You can view your future dated agreements in the AWS Marketplace console on the Manage Subscriptions page.
To create a future dated agreement
-
Follow the steps for Viewing and subscribing to a private offer.
-
In the offer details pane, verify that you chose the correct private offer and that the agreement start date is correct. Future dated offers are marked as Early Renewals on the Offer menu.
Note
For SaaS products, on the agreement start date, you must make sure to complete setting up your account with the ISV. You can't complete this step before the agreement start date. For more information, see Subscribing to a SaaS private offer in AWS Marketplace
