Improved support of subscriptions with the CSP Monthly billing type for an endless period

The platform allows ordering a subscription with the CSP Monthly billing type for an endless period and generates the first charge sufficient for the subscription to stay active till the next billing day.

  • Upgrading resources generates additional charges only till the next billing day. Downgrading resources splits the current billing period charge, a new charge counts days from the downgrading day till the next billing day.
  • Stopping and activating a subscription generates charges taking into account only actually active days.
  • A subscription with the CSP Monthly billing type is auto renewed monthly and prices of resources can be fixed or updated depending on the Fixed Price option. If a subscription is stopped by when a billing day comes, the subscription remains stopped even if the account balance has funds sufficient for the next billing period. The funds for the next billing period are not blocked.

Customers receive notifications "Billing day is coming" with information about the required funds for renewing a subscription with the CSP Monthly billing type. (CR-542)

Implemented support of the new security requirements for Microsoft CSP

To protect customer data from potential security risks, the new integration model with the Partner Center API service has been implemented (see Enabling the Secure Application Model framework). In the platform, after creating new Office 365 Settings, a manager now is redirected to the Microsoft authorization page to grant permissions to the created early web application for sending requests to the Partner Center API service on behalf of the manager. When the permissions are granted, the platform receives and checks the API tokens to access Partner Center and makes the Office 365 Settings available for creating an Application Template.

The Office 365 Settings page has been revamped, the new elements to displaying and managing the permissions have been added. (CR-499)
