All Standard Passes and most Promotional Passes must be activated within 11 months of the original purchase date. Some Promotional Passes might have other activation periods. This will be clearly mentioned in the Promotional offer.
The condition of the Pass, as well as latest possible activation date of your Pass will be mentioned in the purchase confirmation e-mail. The latter can also be visible in the Pass section once you have redeemed it in the Rail Planner App.
Make sure to activate your Pass and complete all the necessary steps for creating a day ticket before boarding your first train.
