Change the account SKU (original) (raw)
Artifact Signing gives you a choice between two pricing tiers: Basic and Premium. Both tiers are tailored to offer the service at an optimal cost and to be suitable for any signing scenario.
For more information, see Artifact Signing pricing.
SKU (pricing tier) overview
The following table describes key account details for the Basic SKU and the Premium SKU:
| Account detail | Basic | Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Price (monthly) | $9.99 per account | $99.99 per account |
| Quota (signatures per month) | 5,000 | 100,000 |
| Price after quota is reached | 0.005persignature∣0.005 per signature | 0.005persignature∣0.005 per signature |
| Certificate profiles | 1 of each available type | 10 of each available type |
| Public Trust signing | Yes | Yes |
| Private Trust signing | Yes | Yes |
Note
The pricing tier is also called the account SKU.
You can change the SKU for an Artifact Signing account at any time by upgrading to Premium or by downgrading to Basic. You can change the SKU by using either the Azure portal or the Azure CLI.
Considerations:
SKU updates are effective beginning in the next billing cycle.
SKU limitations for an updated SKU are enforced after the update is successful.
After you change the SKU, you must manually refresh the account overview to see the updated SKU under SKU (Pricing tier). (We are actively working to resolve this known limitation.)
To upgrade to Premium:
- No limitations are applied when you upgrade from the Basic SKU to the Premium SKU.
To downgrade to Basic:
- The Basic SKU allows only one certificate profile of each type. For example, if you have two certificate profiles of the Public Trust type, you must delete any single profile to be eligible to downgrade. The same limitation applies for other certificate profile types.
- In the Azure portal, on the Certificate Profiles pane, make sure that you select Status: All to view all certificate profiles. Viewing all certificate profiles can help you delete all relevant certificate profiles to meet the criteria to downgrade.
To change the SKU (pricing tier) by using the Azure portal:
- In the Azure portal, go to your Artifact Signing account.
- On the account Overview pane, find the current value for SKU (Pricing tier).
- Select the link for the current SKU. Your current SKU selection is highlighted in the Choose pricing tier pane.
- Select the SKU to update to (for example, downgrade to Basic or upgrade to Premium), and then select Update.
