What Should I Do When the Free Trial of HSS Basic Edition Expires?

When the 30-day free trial of HSS basic edition expires, HSS stops providing security protection for your servers. Its expiration has no impact on your servers. To continue using HSS, you can purchase and enable HSS after the free trial period expires. The procedure is as follows:

  1. Purchase quota

    Purchase HSS editions based on your protection requirements. For details about the supported protection functions, see Specifications of Different Editions.

  2. Installing the agent

    During the free trial of HSS, the agent has been installed on the ECS by default. If you have uninstalled the agent, you need to reinstall it. If you have not uninstalled the agent, skip this step.

  3. Enable Protection

    HSS can be enabled only after this operation is performed.
