 ### Q: How are **monthly** cloud subscription charges processed?
 
-A: At the first purchase, we bill a prorated quantity to cover the remaining days in the current month. For instance, if a purchase of 10 Visual Studio Professional monthly cloud subscriptions was made on April 15, we would charge five units because there are 15 days left in the 30-day month (50%). We prorate the units charged by 50%. On the first of May, and each month thereafter until you cancel, the full 10 units are billed.

 ### Q: How do cancellations work?
 
-A: When you cancel a Visual Studio cloud subscription, you're canceling automatic renewal. The subscription continues until its normal renewal date and then simply expires. At expiration, the Visual Studio subscriber can no longer use Visual Studio or any other benefits from the subscription.

-With monthly cloud subscriptions, cancellations take effect the first day of the next month. If you only cancel some of your customer's monthly cloud subscriptions, be sure to remove users on the first of the next month to ensure that the correct people continue to have active subscriptions assigned.

-For annual cloud subscriptions, cancellations take effect the first day of the month following 12 months from the original purchase, or 12 months from the last annual renewal charge. For instance, if you bought a Visual Studio Enterprise annual cloud subscription on January 3, 2018 then it remains active until February 1, 2019 when it automatically renews for another year. If you cancel between then and February 1, 2020, the subscription will expire on February 1, 2020. There's no rebate for canceling part way through the subscription year with annual cloud subscriptions.
