Short answer
No — if you paid or committed to it before submitting your PSG application, that purchase can't be claimed. The rule is about the application date, not the approval date: you must submit first. Once your application is in, you may go ahead and pay, deploy and use the solution (most then need a 1-month usage report) before the outcome.
Key facts
- PSG does not fund purchases you committed to before submitting
- An invoice or payment dated before your application kills the claim
- Submit first — after that, you can pay, deploy and use the solution
- The solution must also be on the pre-approved list
The gate is your application date. Get the application in first; only then purchase, deploy and use the solution. Any payment or signed contract that predates your application is the single most common own-goal — with no remedy after the fact.
If you've already bought a tool before applying, that purchase is out — but you may still use PSG for a future, different solution. Get the next one in the right order.
