Switching the HSS Quota Edition

Precautions

You can switch to the enterprise or premium edition.

To use the WTP or container edition, apply for a quota of that edition and then enable it.

Prerequisites

• The server whose protection quota is to be changed is in the Protected state.
• Before switching to a lower edition, check the server, handle known risks, and record operation information to prevent O&M errors and attacks.

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner of the page, select a region, and choose Security > Host Security Service.
3. In the navigation pane, choose Asset Management > Servers & Quota. Click the Servers tab.

4. In the Operation column of a server, click Switch Edition.
   

   • If is switched from a higher edition to a lower edition, protected servers will be more vulnerable to attacks.
   • You can switch from other editions to the enterprise or premium edition. To use the WTP edition, apply for a quota and enable it separately.

5. Click OK.

   The edition information in the Edition column will be updated. If the edition information in the Edition column is updated, the edition switch succeeded.

Follow-up Procedure

• After the edition is switched, you can allocate the idle edition quota to other servers.
• After switching to a lower edition, clear important data on the server, stop important applications on the server, and disconnect the server from the external network to avoid unnecessary loss caused by attacks.
• After switching to a higher edition, perform a security detection on the server, handle security risks on the server, and configure necessary functions in a timely manner.
