   Enterprise Project	This option is only available when you are logged in using an enterprise account, or when you have enabled enterprise projects. To enable this function, contact your customer manager. An enterprise project provides a cloud resource management mode, in which cloud resources and members are centrally managed by project. Select an enterprise project from the drop-down list. NOTE: Resources and incurred expenses are managed under the enterprise project you selected. Value default indicates the default enterprise project. Resources that are not allocated to any enterprise projects under your account are displayed in the default enterprise project. The default option is available in the Enterprise Project drop-down list only after you purchased HSS under your Huawei ID.	default
   Required duration	Select a duration based on your requirements. In Pay-per-use mode, you do not need to select a duration. You are advised to select Auto-renew to ensure your servers are always protected. If you select Auto-renew, the system will automatically renew your subscription as long as your account balance is sufficient. The renewal period is the same as the required duration. If you do not select Auto-renew, manually renew the service before it expires.	1 year
   Server Quota	Enter the number of HSS quotas to be purchased. In Pay-per-use mode, you do not need to configure this option. NOTICE: All your servers should be protected, so that if a virus (such as ransomware or a mining program) infects one of them, it will not be able to spread to others and damage your entire network. You cannot modify the quota of an edition after its purchase is complete. You can unsubscribe from it and purchase again.	20
   Tag	Tags are used to identify cloud resources. When you have many cloud resources of the same type, you can use tags to classify cloud resources by dimension (for example, by usage, owner, or environment). To use this function, your account must have the TMS administrator permission. Without this permission, you cannot add tags to protection quotas, and the error message "permission error" will be displayed. You do not need to set this parameter in pay-per-use mode.	data
   Quota Management	After automatic quota binding is enabled, HSS automatically binds available quotas to new servers or container nodes after the agent is installed for the first time.
