# Subscribing to a Firewall Instance (AWS)

> Before setting up Transit FireNet, AWS customers must subscribe to a firewall instance from a specific vendor in the AWS Marketplace.

Before setting up Transit FireNet, AWS customers must subscribe to a firewall
instance from a specific vendor in the AWS Marketplace.

<Note>
  This document section applies to AWS customers only. Azure, GCP, and OCI
  customers can launch firewall instances directly from the Aviatrix Controller
  without subscriptions.
</Note>

To subscribe to a firewall instance from AWS Marketplace:

1. In your AWS account, search for *AWS Marketplace Subscriptions*.
2. On the AWS Marketplace Subscriptions page, select *Discover products*.
3. In the search bar, enter the type of firewall instance you wish to subscribe
   to:
   1. Enter "VM-series" to search for a Palo Alto firewall instance.
   2. Enter "CloudGuard" to search for a Check Point firewall instance.
   3. Enter "FortiGate" to search for a Fortinet firewall instance.
4. From the results, select a bundle and/or license option for the firewall
   instance you wish to subscribe to. There are different bundle/license options
   for each instance type that represent different costs and performance
   offerings.
5. On the next page, click *Continue* to subscribe to the instance.
6. On the next page, click *Accept terms* to accept the license terms.

After you subscribe to the firewall instance, wait for the Effective date column
to change from "Pending" to today's date. Then, return to CoPilot to <a href={"/docs/enterprise/" + "10.1" +
"/guides/security/firenet/firewall-launch-attach"}>launch the firewall
instance</a>.
