How Do I Renew HSS?

You can renew your subscription to an HSS instance billed on a yearly/monthly basis when it is about to expire. After the renewal, you can continue to use HSS.

  • Before the service expires, the system will send an SMS message or email to remind you to renew it.
  • If you do not renew the service before it expires, it will enter the retention period. In the retention period, HSS will no longer protect your servers, but HSS-related configurations will be retained. When the retention period expires, the HSS-related configurations will be deleted. For details about the retention period, see What Is a Retention Period of Huawei Cloud? How Long Is It?

To avoid unnecessary loss caused by security issues, renew your subscription in a timely manner.

  • If you selected Auto-renew when buying HSS, the system automatically generates a renewal order and renews your subscription before it expires.
  • If you use a member account, grant the BSS Administrator permission to it so that you can renew the expired subscription using this member account.

Prerequisite

You have obtained the BSS Administrator and HSS Administrator permissions and their passwords.

An account with the BSS Administrator permission can perform any operation on all menu items in the account center, billing center, and resource center.
