Authorization consumption

The following scenarios consume ID² authorizations. To view authorization usage records, log on to the console and go to the System Administration > Authorization Details page.

Scenario	Triggering action	ID² authorizations consumed	Expiration date calculation
New device	First use of an ID² service	1 per device	Time of first successful authentication + ID² authorization validity period
After an existing device's ID² expires	Calling the ID² authentication, encryption, or decryption service	1 per device	Expiration date + ID² authorization validity period

Note

After a device's ID² expires, automatic renewal is triggered only if the device continues to use ID² services. If the device no longer uses ID² services, automatic renewal is not triggered.
When an automatic renewal is triggered, authorizations are consumed in a specific order. Authorizations allocated to the product are used first, followed by the authorizations under your account. The system prioritizes consuming authorizations with shorter validity periods first, in the order of 1-year, 3-year, and then 5-year.
On the System Administration > Authorization Details page, you can customize the Auto-renewal Policy. By default, auto-renewal is enabled for all products.
For example, if a device's ID² expires on June 10, 2023, and the device calls an ID² service again on July 10, 2023, an automatic renewal is triggered. This renewal consumes one 1-year ID² authorization, and the new expiration date for the device's ID² is set to June 10, 2024.
