   After you have access, you won’t need to request access again.

3. Accept EULAs

   If you want to order the chosen collections for the first time, you need to accept their end-user license agreement (EULA). If a EULA is updated, you need to re-accept it before creating your next order.

After an order is placed, the Operations team will conduct a feasibility study. They will evaluate the tasking parameters with the provider, and then will present the following assessments:

• The order is possible with the given parameters.
• The order requires modifications with suitable options proposed.

You will receive an email notifying you when your order feasibility has been assessed. To proceed, follow these steps:

1. Open the console and go to  Tasking.
2. Select your order and click Feasibility.
3. Choose a suitable option. If none of the options are suitable, contact the Operations team.
4. Click Confirm chosen option. You can’t modify your order after accepting an option.

After accepting a feasibility study option, you will receive a price quote for your order. To review a price quote and activate your order, follow these steps:

1. Open the console and go to  Tasking.
2. Select your order and click Price.
3. If you are an admin, you can accept or reject this price. If you accept, the amount will be deducted from your credit balance and tasking operations will start.
