Prerequisites
Before implementing Partner Revenue Measurement, you must have:
-
AWS Partner Central and AWS account linking
Before linking accounts, AWS Partners must understand that this linked AWS account will become the primary account for managing all APN activities in Partner Central. This account will:
Determine Partner Revenue Measurement compliance for APN funding benefits eligibility
Serve as the primary account for the migration to the new Partner Central experience and all Partner Central users will need to be provisioned access
Be billed for the annual APN membership fee
When determining which AWS account to link, consider these options:
Option A. Partners with one AWS Marketplace account
Evaluate your existing AWS Marketplace account against the account selection guidance criteria
(Partner Central login required). Link your AWS Marketplace account if you're comfortable with: Provisioning Partner Central user access to this account
Using this account as your primary account for APN engagements
Being billed the APN membership fee on this account
If you prefer not to designate your AWS Marketplace account as your primary account, create a new AWS account or link an existing non-AWS Marketplace account that meets the above criteria.
Option B. Partners with multiple AWS Marketplace accounts
Evaluate your AWS Marketplace accounts against the account selection guidance criteria
(Partner Central login required). Note
AWS recommends creating and linking a new AWS account to represent your global business, then connecting all individual AWS Marketplace accounts to your primary account using Subsidiary Account Connections (accessible only after migrating to the new Partner Central experience).
Complete these three steps:
Create and link
an AWS account (which will become your primary account) to your Partner Central account Migrate
to the new Partner Central experience (Partner Central login required) Link all AWS Marketplace accounts to your primary AWS account through Subsidiary Account Connections (Partner Central login required)
