# Coterming subscriptions

You can align subscription end dates when creating a new agreement or by updating an existing agreement.

### Align subscription end dates when creating a new agreement

To align subscription end dates when creating a new agreement:

1. Open the **Products** page, then select the required product.
2. Select **Buy now**.
3. Under **Select agreement**, select **Create agreement**. 
4. Complete the order process until you reach the **Microsoft details** step.
5. Select **I would like to align subscription end dates within this agreement**.

6. Complete the remaining steps to place your order.&#x20;

All future eligible subscriptions added to the agreement will be automatically aligned to the subscription end date established during the initial purchase.

### Align subscription end dates for an existing agreement

To enable coterminosity for an existing agreement, contact [Marketplace Platform Support](/help-and-support/contact-support.md) and provide the subscription end date that should be used for alignment.

The date must belong to an active subscription in the same tenant.&#x20;

To find the date:

1. Sign in to the [Microsoft Admin Portal](https://admin.microsoft.com/).
2. Go to **Billing** > **Your products**.&#x20;
3. Identify the renewal or expiration date of an active, license-based subscription that future subscriptions should align with.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
The subscription must belong to the same Microsoft Partner relationship.
{% endhint %}

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/sL18n7l1M8ofU8DvsRCX" alt=""><figcaption><p>Identify the end date in the Microsoft Admin Portal.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

After the alignment date is configured, all new eligible subscriptions added to the agreement will use the specified end date.

You can view the configured alignment date in the **End date alignment** field on the agreement details page.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.platform.softwareone.com/extensions/microsoft-cloud-solution-provider/products-and-programs/microsoft-nce/about-subscription-coterminosity/coterming-subscriptions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
