For example – if the SAP IS Retail Connector is licensed in January and the retailer wants to forego the licenses in June, he will in any case be charged till December, after which the licenses will automatically expire. The partner (on behalf of the customer) will cancel the subscription. In such a case, the partner's card will be charged for the remainder of the year. The product licenses will continue to work till the end of the year.
In this mode of licensing, the credit card of the partner will be charged depending whether the payment mode is annual or monthly.
