When the order is placed and the subscription is created, the subscription start date will be set 2 months from the moment of purchase. Once the order is approved, the start date will be reset to the current date.

Once the subscription is pending activation, then:

  • The subscription cannot be paused
  • The subscription cannot be upgraded
  • The subscription cannot be renewed
  • The subscription cannot be aligned
  • The renewal type CAN be changed

The subscription will be disabled if:

  • The order status is REVERSED
  • The subscription has been in pending activation status for more than 1 month and the order has not been completed

A License Change Notification (LCN) is sent as soon as it is created, activated, or disabled.
