How Is PCA in CCM Billed?

You will be billed based on how many private CAs and private certificates you use. The pricing details are displayed on the purchase page.

How Do I Stop the Billing for a Private CA or Certificate?

Private CAs and private certificates are billed on a pay-per-use basis. A root CA is billed from the moment it is created. Subordinate CAs are not billed until they are activated.

To stop billing for a private CA or certificate, delete it.

  • Disabled private CAs will also be billed.
  • If you delete a private CA, it takes a few days for the deletion to take effect. It takes at least 7 days for a scheduled deletion to take effect (depending on the delay time you configured). During the scheduled deletion period, you will be billed in accordance with the following rules:
    • If you have not canceled the scheduled deletion and the private CA is deleted, the private CA is not billed for this period.
    • If you cancel the scheduled deletion but the private CA is not deleted during this period, the private CA is still billed for this period.

    For example, if you delete a private CA at 00:00 on January 1, 2022 and the private CA is deleted seven days later as scheduled, you will not be billed for the seven days. If you cancel the scheduled deletion at 00:00 on January 4, 2022 and the private CA is not deleted, you will still be billed for the CA for the period from 00:00 on January 1, 2022 to 00:00 on January 4, 2022.
