Data Security Center:Upgrade an instance

Version Guide

• The Value-added Service Only edition can be upgraded to the Pro or Enterprise edition. The Pro edition can be upgraded to the Enterprise edition. You can also upgrade the capabilities of specific modules in your current edition, such as increasing the number of supported columns for column encryption.

  Important

  • You must pay the price difference for the upgrade.

    The price difference is calculated using the following formula: (Daily price of the instance after the upgrade - Daily price of the instance before the upgrade) × Remaining days before the instance expires.

  • If you request a refund for a DSC instance, the instance is released at 23:00 (UTC+8) on the same day. All resources and data of the instance are discarded and cannot be recovered. If an instance expires, its resources are released after 15 days.

• The DSC Free Edition cannot be upgraded or renewed. If the specifications of the free resources do not meet your business requirements, you can purchase Data Security Center to ensure continuous data security governance.

  Note

  After you purchase a paid edition of DSC, the resources and data that you created in the Free Edition are retained.
