Software NGFW Credits fund your consumption of Cloud NGFW resources and
their related usage of Cloud-Delivered Security Services (CDSS) and Centralized
management (Panorama, Strata Cloud Manager, and Strata Logging Service). Software
NGFW credits allow you to consume Cloud NGFW resources in your tenant at a lower
cost than PAYG rates, up to a specific capacity until your contract expires.
You may currently be using legacy Cloud NGFW credits for
your AWS and Azure tenants. Please work with your Palo Alto Networks sales teams to
migrate to the more flexible Software NGFW Credits for better flexibility.
Credit usage for your AWS tenant is based on pricing
here. Credit usage for your
Azure
tenant is based on pricing

Prerequisites
To manage and allocate credits, your user account in the Palo Alto Networks Customer
Support Portal (CSP) must have either the Credit Admin or Super User
role assigned. These roles grant the necessary permissions to access the Credit
Management Application.
