Freezing an Account

A partner can freeze an account of a customer associated with the partner by reseller model. If the account is frozen, the customer cannot buy, renew, or change resources. Some of the provisioned resources may be unavailable, but they still incur fees.

After a customer is associated with a partner in reseller model, the customer's account is frozen by default. For details about how to unfreeze an account, see Unfreezing an Account. To freeze resources, see Freezing Both an Account and Resources.
If your reseller account is frozen, you cannot unfreeze customer accounts.
In KooGallery, you can freeze only images and pay-per-use products. Other products (such as SaaS and yearly/monthly licenses) are not supported now. If you have any requirements on resource control, submit a service ticket.
