Purchasing a Test Certificate Capacity Expansion Package

If the free certificate quota is insufficient, you can purchase a capacity expansion package to increase the quota. For details about the differences between free test certificates and test certificates in a capacity expansion package, see Differences Between a Free Test Certificate and a Test Certificate in a Capacity Expansion Package.

The capacity expansion package provides DigiCert DV (basic) single-domain certificates. Such certificates are issued quickly and suitable for non-commercial scenarios, for example, personal blogs and the development and testing phase. Figure 1 shows the workflow of purchasing a test certificate capacity expansion package and applying for test certificates.

Test Certificate Quota

Each Huawei Cloud account has a quota of 20 test SSL certificates. If this quota is used up, follow the procedure in Figure 2 to increase the quota. You can make your choice to meet your needs.

Figure 2 Quota description
  • If you still want to use more test certificates, you can purchase a DigiCert DV (basic) single-domain certificate package to increase the quota of DigiCert DV (basic) single-domain certificates.

    Follow the procedure below to increase the quota.

  • If you want to use a paid certificate, buy one on the purchase page.

Restrictions on Purchasing and Using a Single-domain Certificate Package

  • The DigiCert DV (basic) single-domain certificate package is billed at an additional cost. This means if you have applied for the quota of 20 free certificates under your account for free, you will be billed for this package.
  • You will receive the invoice with the amount equal to how much you pay when you purchase a DigiCert DV (basic) single-domain certificate package. No separate invoice will be issued for the free certificates you apply for using the DigiCert DV (basic) single-domain certificate package.
  • Once purchased, the DigiCert DV (basic) single-domain certificate package cannot be refunded, returned, or replaced.
  • Each DigiCert DV (basic) single-domain certificate package contains 20 test certificates. The subscription period of a single test certificate is one year. Within one year, CCM will issue multiple certificates for you, with the total validity period of the certificates being one year. The new certificate will be automatically generated within 30 days before the previous one expires. Complete the verification in a timely manner.
  • There is no usage period limit for the certificate package. If the quota of test certificates in the package is used up, you can purchase more as required.
