At expiration, the Visual Studio subscriber can no longer use Visual Studio or any other benefits from the subscription. The subscription continues until its normal renewal date and then simply expires. Q: How do cancellations work?Ī: When you cancel a Visual Studio cloud subscription, you are canceling automatic renewal.
So if you bought 1 more Visual Studio Professional monthly cloud subscription on May 10, we would bill roughly 0.677 units (21 days remaining in the 31-day month of May). When you increase the paid quantity later, we also prorate the increased units to cover the remaining days in the current month.
On the first of May, and each month thereafter until you cancel, the full 10 units will be billed. For instance, if a purchase of 10 Visual Studio Professional monthly cloud subscriptions was made on April 15, then we would charge 5 units because there are 15 days left in the 30-day month, or 50% and we prorate the units charged by 50%. Frequently asked questions Q: How are monthly cloud subscription charges processed?Ī: At the first purchase, we bill a prorated quantity to cover the remaining days in the current month. The other row shows a "Minimum Value" of 5, so this is the 5% discount price that applies to units 6 and above. One row shows a "Minimum Value" of 0, which you should interpret as the base price for units 1 through 5. That's why you see two rows for each subscription option. We offer a 5% discount on the 6th unit you buy (for a given customer) each month of each Visual Studio subscription.
