This topic describes how to manually or automatically renew Database Autonomy Service (DAS) Enterprise Edition V1.

Background information

DAS Enterprise Edition V1 is billed on a subscription basis. If you activate DAS Enterprise Edition V1 for database instances and use SQL Explorer, you are also charged for the storage of SQL Explorer data on a pay-as-you-go basis.
