Switching the HSS Quota Edition

Precautions

You can switch to the enterprise or premium edition.

Prerequisites

• The server whose protection quota is to be changed is in the Protected state.
• Before switching to a lower edition, check the server, handle known risks, and record operation information to prevent O&M errors and attacks.

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner of the page, select a region, and choose Security > HSS. The HSS page is displayed.
3. In the navigation pane, choose Asset Management > Servers & Quota. Click the Servers tab.

4. In the Operation column of a server, click Switch Edition.
   

   • If HSS is switched from a higher edition to a lower edition, protected servers will be more vulnerable to attacks.
   • You can switch from other editions to the enterprise, or premium edition. To use the WTP edition, you need to purchase and enable it separately.

5. Click OK.

   The edition information in the Edition column will be updated. If the edition information in the Edition column is updated, the HSS edition switch succeeded.

Follow-up Procedure

• After the edition is switched, you can allocate the idle edition quota to other servers.
• After switching to a lower edition, clear important data on the server, stop important applications on the server, and disconnect the server from the external network to avoid unnecessary loss caused by attacks.
• After switching to a higher edition, perform a security detection on the server, handle security risks on the server, and configure necessary functions in a timely manner.
