Method: accounts.customers.entitlements.changeSku

Updates the SKU for an existing customer entitlement. This method creates a new entitlement for the modified SKU and cancels the original SKU's entitlement.

An entitlement update is a long-running operation and it updates the entitlement as a result of fulfillment.

Possible error codes:

  • PERMISSION_DENIED: The customer doesn't belong to the reseller.
  • INVALID_ARGUMENT:
    • Required request parameters are missing or invalid.
    • The new offer's SKU doesn't belong to the same product family as the existing entitlement's SKU
    • Can't upgrade or downgrade an annual commitment.
  • NOT_FOUND: Offer or Entitlement resource not found.
  • ALREADY_EXISTS: The new offer SKU already exists for the customer. Call the entitlements.changePlan api if the new offer has the same product and SKU as the existing one.
  • INVALID_PLAN: If purchasing multiple SKUs of the same product family results in a upgrade, the plan based on the existing SKU is commitment-based and the commitment interval hasn't expired.
  • INTERNAL: Any non-user error related to a technical issue in the backend. Contact Cloud Channel support.
  • UNKNOWN: Any non-user error related to a technical issue in the backend. Contact Cloud Channel support.

Return value: The ID of a long-running operation.

To get the results of the operation, call the operations.get method of CloudChannelOperationsService. The Operation metadata will contain an instance of OperationMetadata.
