   On the instance purchase page, select the required instance specifications and complete the purchase. For this example, select Enterprise IoT Platform as the edition and Exclusive as the type.

   For more information, see Purchase an Enterprise Edition instance.

   After the purchase, the system assigns a default instance name. For example, iot-cn-z2q1***.
