Renewing an Instance

If your AAD instance is about to expire, to avoid impact on services, you can renew the subscription in either of the following ways:

  • Manual renewal: Manually renew the instance.
  • Auto-renewal: If enabled, the service renews automatically based on the renewal period you configured.

If auto-renewal is enabled for a resource, you can manually renew the resource at any time. After the manual renewal is successful, the auto-renewal is still valid, and the system deducts the fee seven days before the manually renewed resource expires. For details about auto-renewal, see Renewal Rules.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the account for which auto-renewal is to be enabled has the permissions of both the AAD FullAccess and BSS Administrator roles.
