Free Tier and Upgrading

Sandbox Studio's licensing is managed directly through the AWS Marketplace, ensuring a seamless and integrated experience with your existing AWS billing. Your use is licensed annually based on the number of AWS Accounts you manage with the application.

Free Trial

  • Sandbox Studio is available through a Free Trial to manage up to 3 AWS accounts as sandboxes for up to 90 days.

  • This Free Trial is available through the AWS Marketplace.

 

Once the Free Trial expires or for any accounts beyond these initial three, an annual per-account license fee applies, which will be billed directly through your AWS account. You retain full control and are responsible for your AWS infrastructure costs, as Sandbox Studio's license fee covers only the use of the software, not your underlying AWS consumption charges.

Purchasing Additional Accounts

If you want to manage more than 3 sandbox accounts, you need to purchase additional capacity through AWS Marketplace.

Steps to Purchase

  1. Go to the AWS Marketplace page for Sandbox Studio.

  2. Select Purchasing Options.

  3. Enter the number of additional sandbox accounts you want to manage.

    • For example: To manage 20 sandbox accounts, purchase 17 additional licences (as 3 are already included in the free tier).

  4. Complete the procurement process through AWS Marketplace.

  5. Once payment is confirmed, AWS Marketplace will provide a link to set up your account and generate a unique API key.

 
Applying Your API Key

  1. Log in to the Sandbox Studio UI.

  2. Go to Settings → Licensing.

  3. Select Update.

  4. Paste your API key into the field provided.

  5. Sandbox Studio will unlock the number of accounts included in your purchased licence.

At this point, you can begin managing additional AWS sandbox accounts immediately.

 
Upgrading your licence

  • At any time, you can increase the number of sandbox accounts purchased in AWS Marketplace. Reducing the number of accounts managed by the solution will only apply at the end of the yearly licence.

  • Your API key will automatically stay in sync with AWS Marketplace, so Sandbox Studio always reflects your current licence level.
