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.
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. |
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.
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.
