Programatic subscription to AWS Marketplace image

Question

hope everyone is fit and well !!

So this time i'm trying to launch some AWS Marketplace images using cloudformation and terraform both and it works fine on my account as i have already subscribed to these images, but it doesnt work on other account as these are not been subscribed there.

I'm looking for some way of either accepting or opting for subscription via automation ( any api or command ) and get these instances launched without fail.

i dont know if at all it is possible to create custome images from these marketplace image so that subscription can be avoided , please suggest

Thanks!!
