Manage

When selecting annual, at this stage - you are committing to an annual amount of employees, users, devices and API keys. If you exceed any of these counts in a specific month, you’ll be charged in that month for the quantity that you exceeded with.

Step 4:  Now click on the “Invoice detail” tab to indicate the date of the month you want to be invoiced

Renewal

• Renewal of Annual Plan prior to expiry date

All active users of a profile will receive reminder notifications in the form of emails RE an Annual Plan renewal period. These periods are as follows:

• • 30 days prior
  • 15 days prior
  • On the last day, before a profile is overdue

A user with sufficient Plans & billing access, can renew their Plans & billing 30 days (or less) prior to their profile becoming suspended, until a renewal decision is made. At this stage, a user will have the option to again decide on an Annual Plan, or change to Flexible Plan. To renew Plans & billing, the following action at Plans & billing may be used: "Start Plan renewal".

If the renewal process has been started, it can be cancelled by using action, "Cancel Plan renewal process".

• Renewal of Annual Plan after it has expired

If your Annual Plan has expired, your profile will be suspended, until a decision with regard to renewal has been made. You may either use URL, "start plan renewal" or action, "Start Plan renewal", by navigating via the vertical ellipses. Please note steps above for more information regarding the renewal process.

• Change to Annual Plan, when Plan is on Flexible

A profile, when on plan type, Flexible, may change to a Annual Plan, by using action, "Change to Annual Plan".

When this process has been started, it can be cancelled by using action, "Cancel change to Annual Plan process".

Buy more Annual quantities, when Plan is on Annual

When a profile is on an Annual Plan, a user with sufficient access can buy more Annual quantities, which will prevent Flexible invoices from being raised because of quantities that exceed the Annual quantities bought. Payment of invoices of additional quantities bought will be collected through the payment method as specified at Plans & billing \ tab, Payment method. Cost and discount is determined on a pro rata per monthly basis. In other words, if the Annual period is from 01 Jan 2018 - 31 Dec 2018 and more quantities are bought on the 15th of Jul, cost and discount is worked out on 6 months.

To start the process of buying more quantities, a user may use action, "Buy more Annual quantities".

When the process has been started, it can be canceled by using action, "Cancel buy more Annual quantities process".
