# Use Free Tier to Set Up Account for Personalized Recommendation and Get Service Key
<!-- description --> Use the Free Tier service plan and an SAP BTP booster to automatically create a service instance, and the associated service key for Personalized Recommendation.

## Prerequisites
- You have created an account on SAP BTP to try out free tier service plans: [Get an Account on SAP BTP to Try Out Free Tier Service Plans](btp-free-tier-account)
- You are entitled to use the Personalized Recommendation service: [Manage Entitlements Using the Cockpit](btp-cockpit-entitlements)

## You will learn
  - How to access your SAP BTP account
  - What are interactive guided boosters
  - How to use the **Set up account for Personalized Recommendation** booster to assign entitlements, update your subaccount (or create a new one), create a service instance and the associated service key for Personalized Recommendation


### Go To Your SAP BTP Account


1. Open the [SAP BTP cockpit](https://account.hana.ondemand.com/cockpit#/home/allaccounts).

2. Access your global account.

### Run booster


SAP Business Technology Platform makes available interactive guided boosters to automate cockpit steps, so users can save time when trying out the services.

Now, you will use the **Set up account for Personalized Recommendation** booster to automatically assign entitlements, update your subaccount, create a service instance and the associated service key for Personalized Recommendation.

1. On the navigation side bar, click **Boosters**.

2. Search for **Personalized Recommendation** and click the tile to access the booster.

3. Click **Start**.

4. Click **Next**.

    ![Service Key](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/Tutorials/master/tutorials/cp-aibus-pr-booster-free-key/booster-next.png)

5. If you want to create a dedicated subaccount for the service instance, choose **Create Subaccount**. If you want to use an already created subaccount, choose **Select Subaccount** (the selection comes in the next step). For this tutorial, we'll create a dedicated subaccount. When you're done with the selection, click **Next**.

6. Choose the **free** plan. You can also rename the subaccount to `pr-free-tier-service-plan-tutorial`, for example. Choose the region closest to you. For this tutorial, we'll use **Europe (Frankfurt)**. Click **Next**.

    >You can also perform this tutorial series using the `standard` service plan. For that, choose the `standard` plan in this step (instead of free). For more information on the service plans available for Personalized Recommendation and their usage details, see [Service Plans](https://help.sap.com/docs/Personalized_Recommendation/2c2078b9efa84566ac19d44df9625c65/b6042634958d4bb48288ced513944b29.html).

7. Click **Finish**.

    ![Service Key](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/Tutorials/master/tutorials/cp-aibus-pr-booster-free-key/booster-finish.png)

    Follow the progress of the booster automated tasks.

    ![Service Key](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/Tutorials/master/tutorials/cp-aibus-pr-booster-free-key/booster-progress.png)

    When the automated tasks are done, see the **Success** dialog box.

    ![Service Key](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/Tutorials/master/tutorials/cp-aibus-pr-booster-free-key/booster-success.png)



### Get service key


You have successfully used the booster **Set up account for Personalized Recommendation** to create a service key for Personalized Recommendation.

Click **Download Service Key** to save the service key locally on your computer.

![Service Key](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/Tutorials/master/tutorials/cp-aibus-pr-booster-free-key/booster-success-key.png)

>If you face any issue with the booster **Set up account for Personalized Recommendation**, you can alternatively follow the steps in [Use Free Tier to Create a Service Instance for Personalized Recommendation](cp-aibus-pr-free-service-instance) to create the service instance and service key for Personalized Recommendation manually using the free tier service plan.

Next step is optional. If you're not interested, you can set it to **Done** and go directly to the next tutorial.




### Access service instance and service key (optional)


> This is an optional step. Use it only if you want to access the service instance and service key, you created with the **Set up account for Personalized Recommendation** booster, without having to run it once again.

Do the following to access your service instance and service key, without having to run the **Set up account for Personalized Recommendation** booster once again:

1. Close the booster **Success** dialog box.
