Buying Resource Packages Again

After a resource package is used up in advance, the renewal cannot take effect immediately, which causes the usage interruption. By click Buy Again, you can buy the resource package in advance. In addition, you can make the resource package take effect immediately or specify its effective time as required, avoiding the service interruption.

For details, see How Do I Choose Between Renew and Buy Again?.

Application Scope

This operation is only applicable for the resource package of atomic products. Any atomic products in a composite package cannot be bought again even if they are renewed in the same manner as purchased.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Renewals page.
  2. Set the search criteria.

    • Show resource packages only is deselected by default. You can select it to view resource packages only.
    • You can search for resource packages by Expires and Status. When you attempt to query resource packages about to expire in different time periods, the system displays only the in-use resource packages that will expire at a later time.
    • You can search for resource packages by instance name, ID, or order number, or filter resource packages by product type, region, or enterprise project.
    • Only when the enterprise project management function is enabled, you can filter resource packages by enterprise project.
    • Resources with orders pending payment can be operated only after these orders are paid or canceled. The Do not show resources that have orders pending payment option is deselected by default. You can select it to hide resources with orders pending payment.
