    Important

    • 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.

  2. 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.
