# Pre-Authorized Auto-Renewal Let an AWS agreement renew on terms the buyer already agreed to, instead of negotiating a new private offer each cycle. --- ## Overview **Pre-authorized auto-renewal (PAR) is a renewal term carried on the private offer itself.** The buyer accepts the renewal rules once, when they accept the offer; AWS then renews the agreement on those rules without a new offer, a new acceptance, or a new signature. There are two halves, and they live in different places: | | Where | Who | | --- | ----- | --- | | **Configure the terms** | The offer form, before the buyer accepts. Terms are fixed at acceptance. | Seller | | **Manage the renewal** | The **Renewal** section on the entitlement, after the buyer accepts. | Seller | Renewal terms can be configured from the Suger Console and from the [Suger Salesforce app](/salesforce-app/salesforce-app-offer/). ## Which offers can carry renewal terms The **Configure renewal terms** section appears only on an eligible offer. It is not a setting you can switch on — eligibility is decided by the offer itself: | Requirement | Detail | | ----------- | ------ | | **Offer type** | `CONTRACT`, `PROFESSIONAL_SERVICES`, `CONTAINER`, or `AMI`. | | **Has commits** | The offer must carry at least one committed dimension. | | **No usage dimensions** | The offer must have **zero** usage/metered dimensions. | | **Not a resale authorization** | CPPO offers are excluded. | | **Not agreement-based** | An offer created from an existing agreement is excluded. | :::note The "no usage dimensions" rule comes from AWS, not from Suger. AWS rejects a renewal term on an offer carrying usage dimensions with `INCOMPATIBLE_TERMS` — *"RenewalTerm isn't supported with the PricingModel"* — so a mixed contract-plus-usage offer cannot carry one at all. ::: ## Configure renewal terms ### Renewal option Pick one: | Option | What it means | | ------ | ------------- | | **No price uplift** | Renew at the same price each cycle. | | **Price uplift** | Increase pricing by a fixed percentage, or within a pre-negotiated range, each cycle. | | **No renewal** | Do not include auto-renewal terms with this offer. | ### Price uplift type **Price uplift** asks for one of two shapes: | Uplift type | Fields | Rules | | ----------- | ------ | ----- | | **Fixed percentage** | **Price increase percentage** | 0–100, at most two decimal places. | | **Percentage range** | **Minimum**, **Maximum** and **Default** uplift percentage | Each 0–100. **Minimum must be less than Maximum**, and **Default must fall inside the range**. | A **percentage range** is what makes the renewal adjustable later: it is the pre-negotiated band the seller may move the final figure within before each renewal. A **fixed percentage** has nothing to adjust. ### Lockout period and adjustment deadline Both are stated as durations measured back from the agreement's end date, and both bound *when* the seller may still act: | Field | What it bounds | Constraint | | ----- | -------------- | ---------- | | **Lockout period** | After this point the renewal is locked — the seller can no longer opt out. | Must be **greater than zero** and **shorter than the contract duration**. | | **Adjustment deadline** | After this point the uplift percentage can no longer be changed. | **Required** for a percentage range, and must be **greater than the lockout period**. | The deadline being later than the lockout is the point of the pair: pricing stays adjustable for a while after the decision to renew has been sealed. ### Renewal count **Renewal count** is either **Definite** — a specific number of renewals, at least 1 — or **Indefinite**, which renews until someone stops it. ### Renewal payment schedule An offer with installments can carry a renewal payment schedule, so each renewed term is invoiced on the same rhythm as the first: - At most **48** installment entries across the offer. - Each entry's **% of total** is between **0.01 and 100**, with at most two decimal places. - The entries must **total exactly 100%**. A schedule that totals 99.99% is rejected rather than rounded. The section opens only when the offer actually has installments; a single-payment offer has no schedule to renew. ## Manage the renewal after acceptance Once the buyer accepts, the terms are on the agreement and the entitlement grows a **Renewal** section with two tabs. ### Renewal details | Field | What it tells you | | ----- | ----------------- | | **Renewal status** | Whether the agreement is set to renew. | | **Renewal pricing** | The uplift shape that was agreed — none, fixed, or a range. | | **Price uplift range** | The pre-negotiated minimum and maximum, on a range term. | | **Default uplift percentage** | Where inside the range the uplift sits if nobody adjusts it. | | **Final uplift value** | The figure that will actually be applied. | | **Renewal count** | Definite (with the number) or Indefinite. | | **Lockout date** | The date after which opting out is no longer possible. | | **Adjustment deadline** | The date after which the uplift can no longer be changed. | | **Next renewal date** | When the next term begins. | | **Renewal disabled reason** | Shown only when the agreement will *not* renew, and says why. | When the offer carried one, a **Renewal payment schedule** table follows: contract duration, number of installments, and a row per installment with its payment timing and **% of total**. ### Renewal history The **Renewal history** tab lists the chain of agreements — each renewal produced its own agreement ID, and the previous agreement is named. When Suger has not yet read a predecessor in the chain, the tab says **Predecessor pending** rather than showing a broken chain. ### Adjust uplift % Moves the final uplift inside the pre-negotiated range. Offered only when **all** of these hold: - the term is a **percentage range** — a no-uplift or fixed-percentage term has nothing to adjust; - the agreement has **not yet passed its adjustment deadline**; - the entitlement is live and has no pending cancellation. ### Opt out of auto-renewal Stops the agreement renewing. Unlike the uplift adjustment this applies to **any** renewal term — stopping a renewal is independent of how it was priced — but it must happen **before the lockout date**. :::warning **Opting out is not reversible from Suger.** Once the renewal is off, restoring it means a new offer. ::: ### Both take effect asynchronously AWS propagates a renewal change on its own schedule, so neither action is reflected the moment you confirm it. Give it a few minutes and refresh the entitlement; the **Renewal details** tab shows the state AWS has actually recorded, not what was requested. ## What the buyer sees The renewal produces a **new agreement**, not an extension of the old one. The buyer's original agreement ends on its end date and the renewed agreement starts alongside it — which is why a renewed customer has more than one agreement in their AWS console, and why the entitlement list shows a new entitlement rather than a moved end date.
