Feature differences between the Free, Enterprise, and Value-added Service Only editions of Data Security Center - Data Security Center

Data Security Center (DSC) offers a Free Edition, a 7-day trial, and paid editions (Premium Edition, Enterprise Edition, Data Auditing Edition, and Value-added Services Edition) to meet various data security administration needs. The Free Edition has a monthly quota limit. This topic describes the supported features and the differences among the editions.

Version guide

Version upgrades only support upgrading from Pro to Enterprise Edition. However, you can flexibly upgrade module capabilities within the same version, such as increasing the number of columns supported for column encryption.
Note
You need to pay the price difference for the upgrade.
The price difference is calculated as follows: (Daily price of the upgraded instance - Daily price of the original instance) × Remaining days until the instance expires.
Data Security Center free edition service does not support upgrades or renewals. If the free resource specifications cannot support your future business requirements, to ensure continuous governance of data security, please purchase Data Security Center.
Note
After you purchase DSC, the system preserves the resources and data created in the free edition.
Value-added Service Only or Enterprise Edition does not support version changes. If you need to change to another version, you must first request a refund and then purchase Data Security Center features again.
Important
After a DSC instance refund, the instance is released immediately, and all resources and data are discarded and cannot be recovered.
