A subscription for virtual machines (now deprecated) can be renewed to a server subscription or to a
volume subscription.
Volume subscriptions
To renew a volume subscription, go to the account management webpage, click Renew next to the
volume subscription, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
The new expiration date will appear in the Expires column.
If the new subscription has the same storage quota as the old one, the subscription periods will
be added together.
If the new subscription has a larger storage quota, the resulting subscription period will be
recalculated.
Machine subscriptions
To renew a machine subscription, go to the account management webpage, find the machine that
you want to renew the subscription for, click Renew next to the machine, and then follow the
on-screen instructions.
The new subscription will appear in the Next subscription column for the machine.
Renewing a number of activated subscriptions at once
This operation is possible if the appropriate number of new subscriptions are identical to the
currently used subscriptions.
Make sure the new subscriptions are available on your account management webpage. Then click
Renew all. The confirmation window will summarize which subscriptions will be renewed. If identical
subscriptions are not found for some of the machines, you have the option to cancel automatic
renewal and renew each subscription individually.
What does "Auto-renew" mean?
Auto-renewal means that when the current subscription expires, the next subscription will be
automatically selected from the available subscriptions. The next subscription must be identical to
the current subscription.
If an identical subscription is not found, auto-renewal will not take place and your backups may fail.
No subscriptions will be bought automatically. Only those subscriptions available at the time of
auto-renewal can be used. You can select auto-renewal for each individual subscription or set up bulk
auto-renewal of all of the activated subscriptions you have.
12.1.9.6 What is the “Group” column for?
So you can apply actions, such as Renew all or Auto-renew all, to your selection of the subscriptions.
Specify the desired group name, for example, SalesDept, near each of the subscriptions you want to
group. Click the Group column header to sort the subscriptions and then apply the desired actions to
the group.
12.1.9.7 Can I revoke a subscription from a machine?
You cannot return an activated subscription to the list of available subscriptions, but you can reassign
(p. 229) it to a different machine in Acronis Backup GUI.
