Free Trial of HSS Basic Edition for 30 Days

When purchasing ECS, you can choose to use the HSS basic edition for free for 30 days. When the protection period expires, HSS is automatically disabled and no extra fee is charged. During the trial period, HSS can scan ECSs for security vulnerabilities and weak passwords and detect brute-force attacks. You can also log in to the HSS console to quickly view the security scores of your cloud assets, helping you learn about the security status and risks of your ECSs in a timely manner. For details about the protection functions during the free trial, see Product Functions.

What Should I Do When the Free Trial of HSS Basic Edition Expires?

When the 30-day free trial of HSS basic edition expires, HSS stops providing security protection for your servers. Its expiration has no impact on your servers. To continue using HSS, you can purchase and enable HSS after the free trial period expires. The procedure is as follows:

  1. Purchase quota

    Purchase HSS editions based on your protection requirements. For details about the protection functions supported by each HSS edition, see Functions.

  2. Installing the agent

    During the free trial of HSS, the agent has been installed on the ECS by default. If you have uninstalled the agent, you need to reinstall it. If you have not uninstalled the agent, skip this step.

  3. Enable Protection

    HSS can be enabled only after this operation is performed.
