Overview

SecMaster supports the yearly/monthly and pay-per-use billing modes. The basic and standard editions support only the yearly/monthly billing mode. The professional edition supports the yearly/monthly and pay-per-use billing modes. You can purchase a SecMaster edition that best fits your workloads.
  • Pay-per-use: a postpaid billing mode. In this mode, your SecMaster is billed by how long you use the service, and you can enable or disable the SecMaster service at any time.
  • Yearly/Monthly: a prepaid billing mode. In this mode, your SecMaster is billed based on the required duration you specify in the order. This mode is more cost-effective than the pay-per-use mode and applicable when your resource usage period is predictable.

Changing billing mode is not supported for SecMaster basic and standard editions.

SecMaster professional edition supports two billing modes: yearly/monthly and pay-per-use. If you can estimate the usage period of SecMaster and need to use SecMaster for a long time, you can change the billing mode of the SecMaster professional edition from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly to reduce costs. For details, see Changing the Billing Mode from Pay-per-Use to Yearly/Monthly.

Changing billing mode is not supported for SecMaster value-added packages.
