How to order

You can purchase a Zoom add-on license at any time during the year. Keep in mind that Zoom's annual license cycle begins October 30th, so pricing for add-ons purchased mid-year will be prorated and will be reflected on your invoice. Example: Add-on services ordered on April 5th will be prorated from April 5th through October 30th. Then the following year, the license will be renewed for the full annual rate, beginning October 30th. 

Note: Licenses are a one-time purchase that are automatically renewed every October, and cannot be upgraded or downgraded once purchased through Zoom. 

To order any of the Zoom add-on services, please submit your request through the Telecom Catalog System.

There is a known error in how the pricing details appear in the Telecom Catalog System, in which it states the fees are calculated monthly. Please do not be alarmed, we assure you that the license fees are annual.
