    On 2025/01/01, create a new 12 months term subscription to subscribe to a rate plan with the License Fee charge with the following pricing attributes: Account_Type = “VIP”, Site_Size = “88”,  so the original list price is $10/seat. Set the License Fee price change option to “Use Latest Product Catalog Pricing” so that it can adopt the new price upon renewal automatically.

    On 2025/12/01, create an order to renew the subscription, Zuora will use the following pricing attribute value to lookup the latest list price from catalog:

    • Effective Date = 2026/01/01 (New term start date)

    • Account_Type = "VIP"

    • Site_Size = "88"

    After renewal, the price of License Fee will become $11/seat from 2026/01/01 onwards.
