Renewal Date

Important Notes

• If you do not set a renewal date, the current renewal date is the first day of each month by default in the Set Renewal Date dialog box.
• You can only set the renewal date to a day (from the 1st day to the 28th day of a month, or the last day of a month) but not to a month.
• The interval between the renewal date and the due date of the current billing cycle cannot be less than one month. After the instances are renewed to the renewal date, the renewal duration is accurate to day, and the renewal amount depends on the renewal duration. For details, see the renewal amount displayed on the page.

  Assume that the fixed renewal date is the first day of each month.

  Example 1: A resource would expire on March 15. After being renewed for a month, the resource would expire on May 1. Actual renewal duration when setting the renewal date = Current renewal duration (1 month) + Duration supplemented till the renewal date (16 days, from April 16 to May 1.)

  Example 2: A resource would expire on April 10. After being renewed for a month, the resource would expire on June 1. Actual renewal duration when setting the renewal date = Current renewal duration (1 month) + Duration supplemented till the renewal date (22 days, from May 11 to June 1.)
