Protection stops. Your data stays. When a Cloud Defender licence expires, we stop protecting the domain, but the instance and everything it recorded remain. You keep access to it.
  • The domain still appears in your Cloud Defender list, with the licence shown as Expired <date> and the status as Not active.
  • Its status page still opens, and the traffic history, attacker insights and detections are all still readable.
  • Nothing can be reconfigured, and no new traffic is recorded, because the domain is no longer behind Cloud Defender.
To restart protection, renew the licence — the same instance and its history resume; nothing needs to be set up again. You are warned before this happens: 30 days before the expiry date, again the day before, and once more on expiry. Those notices go to the organization’s Owners and to any administrative point of contact.
