Subscription Based Solutions
The 8.2.2 version of the platform implements a native ability to offer products based on the subscription model. The flow is standard to the modern subscription services implementations – a one-time fee to get a designated product for a specified period. The solution gives you a fix-priced alternative to the default usage-based model.
All the available subscriptions are available at the Marketplace under a new Subscription Plans section. Upon selecting, you’ll see several plans to choose from (e.g. offering a different quantity of resources, additional features, etc.). Click the Buy button for the preferred option to see the purchase dialog. You can pay monthly or annually, enable auto pay with your default payment method, and set the required number of product instances in your subscription.
All the Subscriptions are added to the dedicated section in the account settings. Here, you can see all the relevant information on the subscriptions (including invoices), install/remove instances, and terminate the subscription.
Due to the concept of subscriptions, some actions are restricted for the installed instances (e.g. topology adjustment or environment cloning). Read more about subscriptions in the dedicated Subscription-Based Product document.
Refilling with 3DS Cards
3D Secure (3DS) protocol adds an extra layer of payment authentication for additional fraud protection during an online transaction. If used, the cardholder is asked to provide proof of identity by entering a unique password, an SMS code, or a temporary PIN. 3DS can be mandatory in some regions (e.g. Europe due to the Strong Customer Authentication regulation) and optional in others (but still can be used to reduce fraud).
When refilling the account balance using the saved payment method with the 3DS, the platform will provide an explicit notification that the invoice was created, but the transaction should be completed through additional external authentication.

Software Stack Versions
The software stack provisioning process is independent of the platform release, which allows new software solutions to be delivered as soon as they are ready. However, due to the necessity to adapt and test new stack versions, there is a small delay between software release by its respective upstream maintainer and integration into Virtuozzo Application Platform.
The most accurate and up-to-date list of the certified software stack versions can be found on the dedicated documentation page.
