# How to order products for resale

The tutorial describes how you can order products for resale from the SoftwareOne Marketplace. 

When ordering products, there are two options for agreements:

* If you have an existing agreement, you can use that agreement. However, make sure the agreement is mapped to a licensee that is configured as a **resale licensee**. For details, see 
* If you don't have an agreement, you can create it when placing the order. If you choose to create a new agreement, you must select an existing licensee that is configured as a **resale licensee**.

* A resale licensee in the active state, or permission to [create a new licensee](/marketplace-platform/getting-started/marketplace-for-partners/how-to-configure-licensees-for-resale.md) if you don't want to use the existing one. Licensee selection is required when setting up a new agreement.&#x20;
