  3. Click Update Subscriptions at the bottom of the screen. The service plan synchronization dialog window is displayed. Fill out the form:

    • You can set additional conditions to the Select field value:
      • Click calendar next to the Start Date after field. From the dialog window that opens, select a date. Subscriptions started after selected date will be updated.
      • Click calendar next to the Start Date before field. From the dialog window that opens, select a date. Subscriptions started before selected date will be updated.
      • Note: you can set one of the fields or both to make a period.

    • Select the Update Subscription Prices check box to synchronize subscriptions prices with plan. Optionally, you can set the Update Subscription with frozen prices check box to Yes if you want to synchronize such subscriptions as well.
    • Select the Update Notification Schedule check box to synchronize subscription notification schedule with plan.
    • Check the Update Subscription Service Terms to synchronize subscription(s) service terms, whether subscription is renewed automatically and renew point with service plan.

      • Immediately - new resource is installed immediately after synchronization.
      • Resource Order - after synchronization, resource order is created and resource is installed in Operations after the order is approved.
      • Not install - new resource is not installed in Operations. This option is used if plan is changed after resource has been installed in Operations.

Synchronizing subscriptions with the Freeze Prices option enabled

The Freeze Prices option allows keeping a subscription prices unchanged in case the subscription is synchronized with the changes made to the service plan. For new subscriptions, the Freeze Prices option is disabled; its value is not inherited from anywhere. The Freeze Prices option can be enabled per subscription only manually.

Note: If the service plan is changed for the subscription, then the Freeze Prices option is disabled automatically (set to the default).

How the Freeze Prices option works on subscriptions synchronization

When the subscription is synchronized with the service plan with the Update Subscription with frozen prices option enabled, then prices for the subscription fees and resource fees will be changed to the same amounts as in the service plan.
