About subscriptions and billing
Each Trend Micro Cloud One account has a subscription which determines how you are billed and which services you can access. Your account can only have a single subscription, and can be changed at any time by administrators with Full Access permissions to Billing and Licensing.
To check your current subscription, navigate to the Subscription Management page from the Trend Micro Cloud One landing page. For more information on the different subscriptions, see the options below.
If you are a Workload Security customer in Japan, please read this article for more information.
Pay as you go billing
Pay as you go billing allows you to subscribe to Trend Micro Cloud One and only pay for what you deploy and use. You are billed based on your usage of the Trend Micro Cloud One services, reported on an hourly basis. Pay as you go billing for all Trend Micro Cloud One services is currently available through the AWS Marketplace listing and the Azure Marketplace listing. When you sign up for billing through the AWS Marketplace or Azure Marketplace, you are billed monthly through the marketplace for your usage in the previous month.
Certain Trend Micro Cloud One services also have free tiers available, and any usage within the free tier threshold will not be charged to your Marketplace bill. Currently, free tiers are available for File Storage Security and Conformity.

For pricing, please contact us at cloudone_trials@trendmicro.com.
What happens when my subscription expires?
After a trial or paid subscription ends, or after you cancel a pay as you go subscription, your subscription type will change to "Trial or Subscription Expired". Accounts with an expired subscription will be prevented from accessing the Trend Micro Cloud One services, and may experience degraded functionality such as restriction of new deployments or security updates.
If your subscription expires and your account has no valid subscription for any Trend Micro Cloud One services, it will be deleted 60 days after the original expiry. Alerts will start appearing on the Trend Micro Cloud One home page 30 days before the account is planned for deletion to inform administrators to update to a valid subscription.
Changing your subscription type
Your subscription in Trend Micro Cloud One can be changed at any time by an administrator with Full Access permissions to Billing and Subscriptions.
When linking a new subscription from an existing subscription, from the Subscription Management page, select an existing Trend Micro Cloud One account. Then click the button associated with the new subscription, such as Subscribe through AWS Marketplace or Subscribe through Azure Marketplace.
The detailed instructions for navigating the site on which you are creating a new subscription can be found here:
- AWS Marketplace
- Azure Marketplace
- Trend Micro Annual Subscription
The only difference from the procedures outlined in the list above is that you are replacing a subscription rather than creating one. For that reason, after you click the Link Subscription button, the Trend Micro Cloud One page called Confirmation will issue a caution about changing the link to an existing subscription.
The screen shot below uses the example of creating a new AWS subscription and is the button shown is therefore specific to that subscription type, but other Confirmation pages will have a similar appearance.
