Inactive account

Esri determines inactive ArcGIS Location Platform subscriptions by reviewing your account log-in and service transaction history.

To maintain active status, your ArcGIS Location Platform subscription must meet at least one of the following criteria:

  • Enable Pay-as-You-Go and have a valid credit card on file.
  • Have an active voucher or PO on file.
  • Have recorded usage above the free tier on at least one (non-storage) location service in the prior 12 months/12 billing cycles.

An account that does not meet this criteria is considered inactive and is scheduled for suspension and then deletion.

If your account is identified as inactive, a notification email is sent to the email address registered to your account. At this point you have 30 days to resolve the inactive status by taking one of the actions above. After 30 days, if the inactive status is not resolved, your subscription is cancelled. One final email is sent to the email address registered to your account. Cancelled accounts can be reconciled within 14 days but require you to contact Esri Customer Service. After 14 days the cancelled subscription is deleted. A deleted subscription cannot be recovered.
