    • Enterprise Project: Select an enterprise project from the drop-down list.

      This option is only available if you have logged in using an enterprise account, or if you have enabled enterprise projects. To learn more, see Enabling Enterprise Center. You can use enterprise projects to more efficiently manage cloud resources and project members.

      • Value default indicates the default enterprise project. Resources that are not allocated to any enterprise projects under your account are displayed in the default enterprise project.
      • The default option is available in the Enterprise Project drop-down list only after you purchase EdgeSec under the logged-in account.
    • Package: The enterprise edition is supported.
    • Billing mode.
      • By traffic: Billed by protected service traffic.
      • By requests: Billed by number of HTTP/HTTPS requests that are protected by EdgeSec.
      • By dynamic acceleration requests: Billed by number of CDN dynamic acceleration requests.
        • You are billed by the traffic used per hour. You can also buy traffic packages to deduct traffic used.
        • You are billed at tiered traffic prices. The billing cycle is one calendar month.
