Thales Data Protection on Demand has made the following changes to how billing and service subscriptions work in DPoD:

• The trial state no longer applies to the tenant, tenants are instead entitled to a 30-day evaluation period for each unique DPoD service type. The trial begins when you first create a new DPoD service of a service type and deleting the service does not stop or pause the trial.
• The Service Elections submission and approval process remains unchanged, but it now triggers the conversion of trial subscriptions to production subscriptions or directly creates production subscriptions. When a service elections form is processed the selected service types become paid subscriptions.
• Service providers, tenant administrators and application owners can review their subscription data using the Subscriptions tab in the DPoD GUI.
• All services of a new service type provisioned after April 15th are "Trial" subscriptions, with a 30-day evaluation. 

Tenants that have an accepted Service Elections form will have the following changes: 

• All paid subscriptions (DPoD Monthly, DPoD Term, Google) will be visible from the Subscriptions tab in the DPoD GUI.
• All services created before April 15th under a service elections form become "Term" (or "Uncommitted" if the Term is expired) subscriptions.
• All services created before April 15th and not under a service elections form become "Uncommitted" subscriptions.

Tenants that do not have an accepted Service Elections form will have the following changes:

• All existing services become "Trial" subscriptions, beginning April 15th, with a 30-day evaluation. 

Note: If your tenant is unable to retrieve and display subscriptions please contact Thales support to resolve the issue. You will be unable to provision new services until the issue is resolved. 

The Service Provider Tenant Usage Report and the associated tenants/usageReport, tenants/usageDetails, and service_instances/usageDetails endpoints are deprecated and will be removed from the platform by the end of 2023. 

As an alternative use the Service Report in the DPoD service provider tenant or the /v1/service_instances/usageBillingReport endpoint, and the /v1/backoffice/serviceAgreements{tenantId} endpoint to compile tenant usage information.

The CipherTrust Data Security Platform is now visible in EU tenants as a beta service offering. Access to the beta service is restricted at this time. The beta service is disabled in all tenants that are not participating in the beta.

For more information about registering for the CipherTrust Data Security Platform beta please contact steve.kingston@thalesgroup.com.

Possible values for Status include:

• Provisioning
• Provisioned
• Provisioning Failed
• Deprovisioning
• Deprovisioning Failed

See the View Services Table for more information.
