Future dated agreements and private offers in AWS Marketplace

With future dated agreements (FDA) in AWS Marketplace, you can subscribe to products where the product usage begins at a future date. You can manage when you buy a product independently from when you pay for, and when you use the product.

FDA helps buyers perform the following actions independently for transactions on AWS Marketplace:

  • Procure the product/book the deal by accepting the offer.

  • Begin product usage (license/entitlement activation).

  • Pay for a purchase (invoice generation).

FDA is supported on private offers, creating for software as a service (SaaS) products, for contract and contracts with consumption pricing (CCP), and with or without flexible payments.

When you use future dated agreements, keep the following dates in mind:

Agreement sign date

The date when you accepted the offer and when the agreement was created. This date is when the agreement ID is created.

Agreement start date

The date when your product usage begins. This is the future date or future start date. This is the date that your license/entitlement is activated.

Agreement end date

The date when the agreement ends. The agreement and the license/entitlement expire on this date.
