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 and attacker insights are still readable.
  • Nothing can be reconfigured, and no new traffic is recorded.
To restart protection, renew the licence. The same instance and its history resume; nothing needs to be set up again. Expiry warnings are being rolled out and are not sent to customers yet. Once they are, you are warned 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.
