Hello, I already purchased 3 global passes for me and my family. If I activate them so I can start planning the trip and making reservations, I’m I going to start the days that I purchased, or do they start until the first train we use?

You do not need to activate passes to get reservations. App (where you load your pass but can't make reservations) and website (where you can make them) are totally separate.

Btw it's often cheaper (less fees) and better (clearer overview, sometimes seat map) to book through the railway operator. Have a look at : https://www.seat61.com/interrail-and-eurail-reservations.htm

Feel free to ask further questions, mentioning route and travel date.
