Free service instances are free of charge, but for evaluation purposes only and, therefore, cannot be upgraded to a paid plan at a later moment.
To subscribe to a paid service plan, please start the subscription process via the AWS Marketplace.
To do so, follow the links given at the sections of the payed plans.The Status will be Provisioning while the service subscription is being created.
If the Status is not Active after some seconds, click the Refresh button.
You now have successfully subscribed to the package and created your own package instance.
To have a look at the access credentials of your package instance, click ... Show Credentials.
The following example outlines the structure of the credentials.
{ "things" : { "endpoint_http" : "https://things.eu-1.bosch-iot-suite.com", "more":"details" }, "provisioning_endpoint" : "https://deviceprovisioning.eu-1.bosch-iot-suite.com/api/1/<your_service_instance_id>", "service_instance_id" : "xxx", "hub" : { "tenant_id" : "xxx", "more":"details" }}You will need your credentials whenever you want to address the services of the package by their API.
Copy the binding credentials or at least the service instance ID to your local machine, as you will need them later on.
