Renewing a CBH Instance

To ensure that you can use CBH properly, you can renew the CBH license before it expires or in a given period after it expires.

  • If your CBH instance is about to expire, renew your subscription.
  • If your CBH instance fails to be renewed before it expires, there is a retention period for you to renew it. During this period, you can still use the CBH instance. If the CBH instance fails to be renewed within the retention period, the CBH instance will be frozen. You cannot log in to the mapped CBH system. If your subscription is still not renewed within the retention period, your data stored in the CBH system will be deleted, and the resource will be released.

Prerequisites

  • You have obtained credentials for logging in to the management console.
  • A valid EIP has been bound to the CBH instance.
  • You have enabled network restrictions on the CBH instance.

    When receiving a network restriction notification, click Enable to eliminate the network restrictions so that the instance can be renewed.

    You can view the rules in the security group and firewall ACL and ensure that:

    • Access to port 9443 is allowed in the outbound direction of the security group to which your CBH instance belongs.
    • The subnet where the instance locates is not associated with the firewall ACL, or the ACL rule of the associated firewall allows the instance to access port 9443 in the outbound direction.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Go to the page for viewing CBH instance information by following the steps in Figure 1.

  5. Click Pay and complete the payment.
  6. Return to the CBH instance list page and check the expiration time in the Billing Mode column. You can log in to the CBH system in about 5 minutes.

    After the renewal, the new license will be automatically delivered and deployed in about 5 minutes.
