Terraform Apply fails when trying to create an AWS instance with CoreOS AMI ID due to AWS market place related error

Question

I have created a launch configuration which contains AWS CoreOS AMI as the image. This has been attached into AWS Auto Scaling Group. All the above process has been done via Terraform. But when Auto Scaling group tries to create the instance it fails with following error.

StatusMessage: "In order to use this AWS Marketplace product you need to accept terms and subscribe. To do so please visit https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp?sku=ryg425ue2hwnsok9ccfastg4. Launching EC2 instance failed."

It seems like I have to Subscribe to use this CoreOS AMI image, but when I'm creating and instance on AS console, I just select the CoreOS image from market place and continue to other configurations related to instance. But how to achieve this in Terraform? Should I subscribe to AWS CoreOS AMI beforehand or is there a way to bypass this in Terraform?

All the related files and erro trace is given below,

If you log into the console and accept the ULA terms once this error will go away when you apply it via terraform.

If I was you I'd log in, go through the whole process to launch an instance with this AMI, terminate it, then apply the terraform.
