How Do I Change the SA Specifications?

If the number of your assets increases after SA is purchased, you need to increase ECS Quota to get your new assets protected.

  • The basic edition does not support unsubscription.
  • The standard edition cannot be directly upgraded to the professional edition, and the professional edition cannot be directly changed to the standard edition. To use a different edition, unsubscribe from the current edition first.
  • The standard edition can only be billed on a yearly or monthly basis.
  • Only one edition can be used within an account. Purchasing some asset quotas in the standard edition and other asset quotas in the professional edition is not supported.

    • Required Duration you configured during the increase of ECS Quota applies only to the increased quota. This required duration does not affect the quota you purchased in the original order.
