You must submit a Cisco dCloud Support request if you want a session to remain active longer than 5 consecutive days. Extending a session is ideal for a proof of concept/ proof of value, long term customer sharing, and other scenarios where a demonstration may need to be active for up to 30 days at a time.
Only Cisco and Partner users can request long session extensions. For details about session extension policies and limits and restrictions for long-running sessions, refer to Scheduling Extended Sessions.
