Yearly/Monthly package

  • The edition charging in yearly/monthly mode provides a higher discount and more functions than that charging on a per-use basis, and is recommended for long-term users. Yearly/monthly CGS is billed based on the purchase period specified in the order.
  • If you are paying for CGS per use but want change to the yearly/monthly edition, simply purchase the protection quota. The system preferentially uses the yearly/monthly quota you purchased.

Renewal

If you do not renew CGS billed in yearly/monthly mode upon its expiration, a retention period will be granted.

CGS stops providing services if its quota expires. To avoid loss caused by security issues, you are advised to renew it in a timely manner. CGS expiration does not affect your other services.

You can renew your resources on the Renewals page of the management console. For details, see Renewal Management.

Expiration and Overdue Payment

  • Service expiration

    If you do not renew a quota upon its expiration, a retention period is available for you. For details, see Retention Period.
